Admission:

I also had selected the IIT BHU CSE and IIT KGP MNC but my rank didn't cross the threshold for these so that's why I chose the best for me which was IIT KGP B.Tech. in E&ECE. I was also getting CSE in IIT Dhanbad but I do not have that much interest in CSE, but obviously if I would've got CSE in colleges like IIT BHU, I would've certainly chosen it due to their placements and exposure. The Admission process in IIT Kharagpur is similar like other IITs. First of all crack JEE Advanced and get a good rank to clear the cut-off rank for the Dream Branch you're willing to get (Take previous year ranks as reference), like for E&ECE in IIT KGP Last year closing rank for general in round 5 of JOSAA Counselling was 1448. Apply for Seat allocation on Josaa lock the seats you prefer the most. Once you get a confirmed seat You will get provisional offer letter from josaa, download that. Then collect all the documents needed for Admission in IIT Kharagpur like Xth Marksheet, XIIth Marksheet, Caste Certificate(if applicable) etc. you can check these documents in UG Admission Module given at IIT KGP website. Then Come here in the campus and get the Physical Document verification completed and also one of the halls like LBS for Freshers will be allotted to you and here you now officially you're a kgpian. In my case the Josaa just created some problems like payment updation on websites otehrwise the document verification was very smooth.

IIT Kharagpur: 18 Answered Questions

What is criteria for taking minor at IIT Kharagpur?

Senjuti Guptastudied at IIT Kgp

Applying for a minor is possible only at the beginning of the 3rd year autumn semester provided that your CGPA is 7.5+. But I suggest you start taking courses related to your minor from the 2nd year autumn semester itself.

  • Make sure your CGPA is 8+ by the end of each semester, else your minor will be canceled.
  • On the basis of the requirements given in the minor curriculum list, make a good choice of courses.
  • You can change your departmental elective by approaching your faculty advisor for the same. He/she will login to his/her ERP and add the desired subject to your list. 
  • One needs to take at least additional 3 or 4 courses to earn a minor in another department.
  • You are required to maintain your ACGPA (additional CGPA) as well as CGPA (additional SGPA) 6+ once you have registered for minors.

Should I take food and agriculture engineering at IIT Kharagpur?

Neha Grover
Senjuti Guptastudied at IIT Kgp

In my opinion, Food and Agriculture Engineering course offered at IIT Kharagpur is indeed a good option for those inclined toward this field. Here are a few pointers as to why choosing this program is worthwhile 

  • Before making the final decision, go through the course structure and check if it aligns with your interests. If you like it then go for it as it offers a plethora of opportunities in the field of food processing and agriculture in India as well as the USA.
  • This is the perfect branch for research enthusiasts as this sector needs a lot of research to be done on increasing food production and its proper storage.
  • Another great aspect is that you are not required to pursue your branch only. You may apply for interdisciplinary courses like minors, micro specialization, etc in other branches of your own choice. This will not restrict your job prospects to the specific branch only. 
  • You are always open to changing your branch at the end of the first year if you feel that the branch you chose is not for you. However, for this certain conditions need to be met like an 8.5+ CGPA. Trust me this is not that difficult all you need is some consistency and determination.
  • This course is a splendid opportunity for those who are planning to pursue MBA in Ahmedabad as it provides a course in Agri-business Management. This program is highly coveted by many and guarantees excellent packages.

All the above opportunities are lucrative and can appeal to anyone who is genuinely interested in the branch. Moreover, IIT Kharagpur placements are also decent for the branch because most non-core companies allow the students of this branch to sit for placements.

How much does the Work experience, test score, other factors matter for admission in PGDBA course hosted by universities IIT Kgp, IIM C , ISI Kolkata?

Rishabh SinghLives in banglore

The section-wise weightage for final PGDBA shortlisting is not revealed by these colleges. They analyze all these aspects and a candidate’s interview when putting out the final offer. The interview helps them assess what a candidate brings to the table. Even if they start announcing the section-wise weightages some day, that should not affect your test preparation. Your work experience and past academic record are unchangeable factors, but your entrance test score is in your hands. 

Study for the entrance exam with utmost sincerity, and stop worrying about other aspects of your profile that you can not change.

I will complete my MSc in applied geology next year from IIT Kharagpur. What should I do to opt for a PhD program at IIT Bombay/IIT Kharagpur?

Rishav Gangopadhyay
Advait JoshiLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

The first step in the journey of getting a Ph.D. degree is giving either of these exams; GATE, NET, CSIR, or UGC. Next, you have to decide on a particular field in which you will be conducting your research. After this, you have to look for a faculty advisor that has experience in the kind of research work you are looking for. His teaching style should necessarily align with your learning style. Conduct extensive research on the topic you will be working on. 

IIT Bombay: Here, you are required to do some coursework on the topic you have chosen. Choose the course that will give you more opportunities than others. Most Ph.D. students take some courses only to make up the required credits. This is not right as you will miss the opportunity to learn so much from every department. The most preferred courses are CS and Modelling at IIT Bombay.

One can even upgrade their skills in Mathematics and Statistics. Other courses that might help you in research work are fluid mechanics, soil mechanics, inorganic chemistry, solid-state physics, and thermodynamics.

Basically, you should choose your coursework not only for credits but to get knowledge of the research work you will be doing. Seek help from your advisor on the same.
