The placements at IIT Kgp are one of the best in the country. There is a career development cell, which manages and conducts placements each year. The average package is 16 LPA.

The campus life is really amazing and vibrant over here.

One can join any of these as per their interest. the institute conducts 3 fests annually: cultural fest 'Spring Fest', techno-management fest: 'Kshitij' and sports fest 'Shaurya'. Inter IIT competitions, General Championship and open IIt competitions make the life even more interesting.
Hostel Facilities
Old hostels are not very good,while the new ones are fully furnished and fully centralised air-conditioned. We are provided an almirah, a study table, a chair, and a bed. It is compulsory for everyone to stay in hostel accomodation. Each hostel has its own mess and the quality of food varies from mess to mess
Admission
I did not apply for any other college because when JEE advanced results got out I knew that i would get into an IIT. IITs are the best in the country that's why i decided to go with it. To get admission in IIT kgp one needs to qualify both jee mains and jee advanced but the departments are alloted only on the basis of the ranks of jee advanced
