IIT Kharagpur review

3.8Helpful

Likes

The KGP campus is really big and beautiful.
The night life in the campus is very good

Dislikes

Hostels rooms are relatively small for single and double sharing
The mess food is not upto the mark in most hostels

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose Instrumentation engineering keeping in mind the current state of semiconductor industry in India.I would say that the curriculum is a little backdated compared to what professionals are looking for today.To improve it,they need to include relevant elective subjects as subject choices before every semester.The frequency of exams is determined by the professor.Generally, there are two class tests and one midsemester and endsemester exams in each semester.

Likes

Very good exposure and infrastructure, with good intership opportunities. Excellent professors, Academic Excellence: Renowned for its rigorous curriculum and world-class faculty. Research Opportunities: Extensive opportunities for research in diver
Legacy and Alumni: Rich history and influential alumni network. Location: Situated in a culturally rich region with access to Kolkata's resources. Global Recognition: Recognized globally for its contributions to education and research.

Dislikes

The mess food is extremely poor with no proper nutrition charts. Being the best in the country we expected more from our college. Also the internet connection is not up to the mark even though it stays online for most of the time it's still problema.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placement after the end of their 6th semester or third year. All though there eligible for internship after the end of 4th semester or 2nd year for on campus interviews. Almost all big companies of the nation and globally visit our campus. High-profile companies like high frequency trading firms like Quad Eye, graviton all visit our campus. The highest package offered for the computer science and mathematics and computing branch is around 2.2 crores while the median package is around 40 lacs. For my branch of chemical engineering the average package is 21 lakhs with median being 19 lakhs. All big tech companies like Google Apple Microsoft Amazon Facebook all visited campus. Placements and internships are never an issue in our college and are the last thing to worry about. If you can get admission here then you will have much more freedom to explore your entrepreneurial skills and pursue your passions as well.

The campus life is brilliant, the best combination of safety and freedom you will get here.
As it's an IIT, you will find the best peer group you could ever imagine.

Dislikes

Early morning classes, which are from 8 am.
Not so great mess food in some halls which is really problematic.

Placement Experience:

Campus placements are brilliant highest packages go above 1cr but median packages lie around 16-18 LPA. Some of the departments have nearly 100% placement some have a little less which is around 70-80%.

About KGP

3.6Helpful

Likes

I liked the campus environment and festivals celebrated their.
I liked that various activities goes on every week from any one of the society

Dislikes

Sometimes the teaching I can't understand they just move the slides
There are societies to participate but initially they ask for lot of skill rather than teach the skill

Placement Experience:

After 6 th semester students get eligible for placements. To many companies come for placements drive but for my course there are very less . But for cs and ece to many every one maximum tries for the software companies so there is lot of competition. That's why sometimes half of the students are not placed.

Some faculties are very good they teach very well

Dislikes

Regarding the infrastructure I have a small complaint about the swimming pool

Course Curriculum Overview:

Agricultural and Food Engineering course include courses such as Soil Technology, Groundwater Hydrology, Post Harvest Engineering etc. But many student don't choose this stream as there career either they go for SDE or MBA. But in government sector this branch has vast opportunity like in FSSAI, FCI, UPSC etc. Labs are very good and innovative which gives opportunity to each student to learn new technology like driving tractor to operate Drone. Exam are mid sem exam and end sem exam. 1 semester is of 6 months and each semester has two mid sem exam and end sem exam also except these there are various class tests and quizzes.

Campus of IIT - KGP is literally insane. IIT KGP has the largest campus with 2200 acres any college Indian ever has.

Nothing, i like everything about this college.
