Likes
- All the big brands and big tech giants come to the campus for great opportunity opportunity for students you can apply for placements from the fifth semester itself.
- College provides a lot of scholarships like merit cum means scholarship, inspire scholarship, and fee waiver scheme.
- The faculty members are really good as they are great researchers in their respective fields.
Dislikes
- But, if we talk about scholarship then it's a bad news that there is no institute scholarship for unreserved students but u can get it for other organisations like nsp.
- The hostel rooms are also not good enough and lack cleanliness sometimes and have broken chairs/ tables, etc. at times.
- The academic workload can be sometimes demanding, not always but sometimes, leading to stress and pressure among students.

- The campus is very big and beautiful. It is fun to explore a campus like IIT Kharagpur. There are various horror Rumours about Hijli school and Old Architecture building which are fun to explore at night
- There is no restrictions in going out of hostel. One can go and come anytime. Literally anytime!!
- There are so many clubs/societies here one can know for what he/she is made for. These clubs give opportunities to look inside and you.
Dislikes
- Mess food, not only mess food, everywhere the campus the food is like yuck. There are only some canteens which give good food.
- What Profs. teach only they knows. I don't know about others but going to some classes are like waste of time for me. Because it had to read that all again from YouTube or NPTEL after coming to hall.
- Campus is vast, it's also a bad thing. Like if woke up at 7:30 and you have classes at 8:00 AM. You just can't go to class
Placement Experience:
Students are eligible for CDC in 3rd year and eligible for placement in 4th year. The average package of mechanical engineering department is 20LPA. Around 90-95% students get placed every year(of course who are eligible for placements). Many of the students go for Tech companies and also take PPO. I am planning to go for Tech companies.

Dislikes

- Very poor connectivity with any long transportation medium like airport or good railway station
Course Curriculum Overview:
Course curriculum is really best as it provides in dept knowledge of courses along with industry experience which is very much required in this competitive world to get a good job and building careers. Even though it is so good it's load is very less with five hour classes daily for five days a week. Just a tab of Bachelor of Science is what we do not like..

- I met very talented people inside the campus and was exposed to a variety of fields.
Dislikes
- It is in a remote area so you cannot find many things like in other iits which are at urban locality
- If you are not from west bengal than outside campus you might find difficulty in conversation
Placement Experience:
After 4th semester companies coke for internship and in 7th sem you are allowed to sit in placements. This is the average package was a bit lower around 20lpa but for cse it was 42 lpa. Aroud 600 700 companies came and usually make 1400 1500 offers and about 80 percent of the students are placed oncampus and the others if they have skill get offers offf campus also

- I like the students quality with me and the quantity and variety in which they are, its the most beneficial i feel
- I like the way i can join any course i want to study, at whatever i want to join by consulting with the respective professor.
Dislikes

- I disliked that in few mess the quality of food isn't upto mark
- I didn't exactly disliked but yeah i sometimes don't like the working staff.
Course Curriculum Overview:
The course curriculum is relevant as its the college where evry department is somewhere connects with the modern demand of tech, having almost departments in a single place give you the opportunity to find what you love and want to create a new future intigrating them. Exams are after 1.5months generally and its not as much loaded in terms of other activities. The best place to learn and live in short.
