What Students Say
Likes
- IIT KGP is no doubt an brilliant college , things like its peer group make it even more better. Peer group plays an important role in personal development of an student.
- I was strongly involved in sports activities in campus throughout the year. And i interact with numerous people through events and while playing and i felt that people in IIT are quit studies except some students.
- almost all students are supportive and help each other exams , real life problems , decision making , etc overall an good environment is present in IIT KGP.
Dislikes
- All the staff is almost Bengali due to domination good faculties are teaching great minds , teaching can be made more interesting things are that worse some times that faculty don't understand their own slides.
- Teachers don't teach us they just come read slides and go. Almost no interactions with students. Every year placements getting worse and decreasing per year .
- Hostel infrastructure is so poor don't have lifts , no prper ventilation in some hostels and majority hostels are very old. Course curriculum is not good Beccause the courses that they provide don't make us job ready we have to learn all things by

Faculty
Almost all the faculties had PhD in their respective fields. They had knowledge but you will feel them boring because they just read slides and focud on course completion. Ratio is 1: 20 , faculties are enough but they are somewhere bengali biased. I approach teachers for doubts only and it is easy to intract with them , they help as well.
