KGP Time

This college is full of Opportunities which is challenging students to grab it through their hard work.

I took JEE for entrance in 2008. I scored 210 and got AIR 4595. Initially I didn't have idea what I wanted to do science or engineering. But I got int. MSc. in Physics at IIT Kgp. I didn't go for another options (NITs, BIT) where I could have got engineering branches because I wanted to get admitted in best colleges in country. There was no interview.

In first year we had same courses for all the branches which was to make our base strong in general science and technology. After second year we had core courses which even become advanced courses in final year.

I did my internship at research institute NCRA, Pune. They use to give 7000 pm with accommodation. Apart from this I have internship in university at Israel. Where I got $ 1000 pm.

Campus life is just awesome. You have a lot fun with friends discussing about interesting topics and playing with them. Apart from academics institute has a huge number of activities which energies you during time of your tiredness. I have earlier mentioned all the activities we had. There are so many options available so that you can go in whatever activities you want to do.

The hostel are quite old except few new ones but they have all the facilities like washing machines, heaters, wifi and playing grounds. Food is quite good as menu is decided in students meeting themselves.

Alumni network is too strong. Campus organises Almuni meet in which alumni meet with students ans share their nostalgia. During this time students interact with them and get idea for there career. Alumni provides fund to colleges which is used in welfare of students like abroad internship, summer schools etc.

Intensity of Exams and labs decrease with increasing year of study. Still in first few years being too busy with our labs , classes and exam we were able to find time for relaxing and do a lot of extra academics activities.

Only 5-6 professors are really good among 30. So only few courses are taught very well. Standard of any course taught by these 5-6 faculties was at the peak but others courses were miserable. Courses I which I liked: Statistical Mechanics, General Relativ
