Admission
I applied to other branches of iits and nits as well as bits pilani. I got confirmed admission in all the iits except the top three and in all nits as well as in bits pilani.I chose iit kharagpur because of its developed biotechnology program as well its campus. I had to choose among the best in the country and while i was getting iits thats why i didnt accept the nits or bits pilani. among the iits my jee advance rank was not enough to get a good branch in iit bombay delhi or kanpur and since i wanted a top 5 iit i chose iit kharagpur and got what i wanted as my branch which is biotechnology. The admission process to iits involves two main national level exams called jee mains and jee advance.You have to clear the cut off jee mains to appear for advance.In jee advance you have to get a top 0.1 percent rank atleast to secure a good seat in a good iit.Both these exams are very difficult and require huge amounts of preparation. After getting selected there are various forms that you have to submit and your admission is secured.
Faculty
In my department it is almost 3-4 teachers for every subject.apart from which we have a faculty advisor as well different teaching assistants and lab instructors. the faculties are very approachable and can be contacted via emails for any doubt or concern. My favourite professors were vinay sir and mainak sir mainly because of their composure during teaching and the way they taught concepts and cleared doubts. There were a few faculties i didnt like because of their attitude and reasoning towards some stuff. we have two sets of exams:midsems and endsems as well as various class tests. the midsems carry 30 percent and endsems 50 percent.The endsems are fairly more difficult compared to the midsems. The course curriculum is pretty relevant and helpful
Night Life
my favourite hangout spots are the night canteens that are cheap and amazing they are no curfew timings for the hostels.Foe the campus going out is not allowed after 11pm till 4 am. The campus is very safe at any time of the day
