Course Curriculum Overview
I chose Instrumentation engineering keeping in mind the current state of semiconductor industry in India.I would say that the curriculum is a little backdated compared to what professionals are looking for today.To improve it,they need to include relevant elective subjects as subject choices before every semester.The frequency of exams is determined by the professor.Generally, there are two class tests and one midsemester and endsemester exams in each semester.
Fees and Financial Aid
The total fees of 10 lacs is quite huge and most of the students cant afford it without student loan or scholarships.Our institute provides full tuition fees waiver for those students whose family income falls below 5 lacs.As per my knowledge there are no campus employment available to students which provides stipend
Campus Life
The annual fests are Kshitij (techno management fest held in January) , Spring fest (social and cultural fest held in January).The books are available to all during library hours and can be borrowed when needed.Smart classes are available in the classrooms which is very useful to teach students.Sports and extra curricular facilities are very rich in the campus with many stadiums and indoor gymnasiums. There are cells and societies of almost every tech field or extracurricular field
Admission
The eligibility of the course will be having minimum 75% in class 12 exams.The application form can be found online during the window of registration.Exams are moderate to hard,you need to study a lot to score good.The process of admission solely on the basis of JEE scores is quite old fashioned and it should also take into account some extra curricular achievements (which foreign universities do)
Faculty
The faculty to student ratio in most departments is upto the mark but in some larger departments like Electrical and Mechanical engineering,each professor has to manage a class of over 150+ students.The faculty in IIT KGP is very qualified and generally have a lot of research publications.We can interact with them freely.
