IIT Kharagpur Faculty

The faculty at IIT Kharagpur is highly qualified, with most members holding PhDs from prestigious institutions and having extensive research experience. There are approximately 600 faculty members, and the faculty-to-student ratio ranges from 1:10 to 1:200, depending on the department. While many professors are knowledgeable and approachable, some students find the teaching style less engaging, with a focus on research rather than effective teaching methods. The course structure involves two main exams: mid-semester (30% weightage) and end-semester (50% weightage), with additional tests and assignments contributing the remaining 20%.

Faculty members are generally approachable via email, with teaching assistants available for additional support. The feedback system allows students to provide anonymous opinions on faculty performance each semester.
