From Pharma Companies to research laboratories and FMGC conpanies like Britannia, ITC, HUL ane various others need chemical engineers. So, when such hige corporate groups ink a deal with IIT KGP students its no less than 1 lakh per month as in some cases its even higher too. Placements are nearly 100% as its IIT KGP.

Placements of the college even during recession shows a lot of potential. Highest package was of the Computer Science department and was around 2cr annually for an international company. And average salary of all departments reaches to 9-11 lpa. Companies like Amazon, Tata, Flipkart, Gail all do look for the finest engineers at iitkgp

Campus placements are quite good , 90 % will be placed and the remaining 10 % will also be placed unless they have no skills or cg , it is also quite luck based and unpredictable , my plans are doing mba in iim or go into pharma through core

I have taken 3 courses this year and the courses I have taken is as Transform calculus as this subject is mainly about math and linear alzebra. 2nd one is of Thin film and this is course of chemical deopartment \. and 3rd one is sports and well being.

While preparing for jee, I was a good in physics and chemistry subject. After qualifying the exam when I need to set my priorities , i consulted with various seniors and relatives of mine and decided to choose chemical engineering at IIT Kharagpur. One big misconception among everyone is that Chemical engineering involves chemistry only so it's a big lie. Chemistry is a different department in my college. Chemical engineering involves mostly physics and some maths and some chemistry. Subjects like fluid transfer ,heat transfer, thermodynamics, transform calculus , chemical reaction engineering, instrumentation engineering and many more involved a major physics part involving mathematics calculations so its not what people think. Chemistry is involved very less in chemical engineering. Some subjects are having syllabus which is very vast for getting completed in a semester so it should be regulated according to the time available as student has a limited time to complete syllabus for all subjects which sometimes create a burden on his head. Some digital methods used in foreign countries colleges can be adopted too like some small practical while teaching to make subject more interesting. In every semester we have midsem and endsem with a gap of around 2 months. Exams are a hectic period for everyone and are slightly difficult as competition is high as everyone have qualified a toughest exam of the country so you will not get a very easy paper.

Students can register for placement in two consecutive windows, one in July and one in January. After , the students are eligible for the placements through CDC(Career Development Centre).

Top recruiters are:- Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Intel, Qualcomm, Apple, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Wipro,etc Almost 93%of people were placed.

Many get placed in the non core sector mainly in the finance and consulting. The highest package was around 55 lps and the average was 20lpa . Almost 85-90% students get placed in college placement.

B.tech student are eligible for placement after 6th semester and dual degree after 8th sem. Very less percentage get placement in start but are filled slowly in phase 2 and 3. Google Microsoft NVIDIA Texas Instruments visits our campus .

In 5th and 6th semester you can apply for internship and can get PPO's . companies like microsoft,google,amazon many consulting furms like mckensie,accenture,goldmansachs etc. they hire based on their skills not on their departments, so lower branches students also get equal opportunities . last year highest package offered was 2.68 crore to a mnc student . average package is around 18 lakh p.a. almost 78 percentage of the whole batch got placed last year.
