Other colleges I applied for is IIT Delhi because it is nearer to my home and is well reputed college and have a great field in Tech.I opt this college because I am interested in Tech field. I finally chose IIT KGP beacuse it is providing me better branch than IIT Delhi and I got interested in this college beacuse my teacher in myh senior schoo is also from IIT KGP they taught me a lot of stories of there college time and I talked to some seniors of college for admissionb regarding prespective so they advised for IIT KGP.Therefore I chose IIT KGP over IIT Delhi. Admission processs of IIT KGP is quite student - friendly and easier because it is fully online application process via JOSAA platform after passing JEE Mains and JEE Adv. exams and there are few documentation for admission but they are quite easy to issue. cutoff for IIT KGP is not fixed every yera cutoff floats depends on paper level.

Admission:

Since I was interested in getting into an IIT from class 11, and IIT KGP was the only college that gave the best branch to college ratio among all other IITs that I was eligible for based off my rank. The admission process for my college for B.TECH involves JOSAA, a counselling system for all government engineering colleges in India where the eligibility criteria is based off JEE ADVANCED rank. Since you can only select one college through JOSAA, the only one i selected was this as this was the only one I was alotted based off my rank. The cutoff for my college is around 12000 for General Male and 20000 for General Female. This increases for other categories like SC ST OBC etc.

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.

Plan your semesters in such a way that you have available slots for that specific subject.
