IIT Kharagpur college useful information

The curriculum is pretty well designed and detailed. The curriculum is interesting and interconnected and covers all the crucial topics. If the topics are studied diligently it is possible to get a good grip of the chemical Engineering in general. But the course is outdated like it has the basics but the changes along the years should be added in the curriculum. It might be because adding new things to the curriculum every year might also be confusing for the students

The hostel rooms for our hall are quite big and simple. The room has power cables for all 4 people, 4 tables, and mosquito nets. The meals are quite bland and not tasty at all. The menu never changes and sometimes we have insects in our food. Some halls have good food but they won't allow us there. It is quite unfair for some halls to get good food and some to get bad food. I am paying 20000 for the food which is not worth it.

I applied for my college through JEE advanced counseling. This is my first choice for admission. I chose IIT Kharagpur as it is good for chemical Engineering and I wanted to go far from my home state but still a good college. Kharagpur IIT was in 5th place then so I chose it. The cutoff for jee advanced is getting rank of below 15000.

One course is generally taught by one or two professors but one at a time. Our department strength is 97. Most of the professors teach really well but are strict with the attendance and should come early to class. We have 2 class tests one mid semester and one end semester. The class test and mid sem are fairly easy but the days fly by so easily so it's hard to ace them until you study daily diligently. The end sem is hard because of the vast syllabus and one week preparation is not enough. My favourite professor is prof swambabu varanasi. He explains very clearly and in detail. Most of the professors explain really good but you just have to go to classes diligently and revise at room too. The course material is pretty old so that can be modified according the technology right now especially departments like chemical can focus more on the upcoming trends like environmental engineering, green energy and nanotechnology
