IIT Kharagpur Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

For placement and internship we have CCD ( Career development center ) and it ensure that students are getting all the opportunities for interview with top companies like Microsoft, google, Goldman Sache amazon and so on. students can apply for internship in 5th semester and can sit for placement in their 8th semester, other than campus placement students can apply anywhere for off campus placement if they are meeting thier crieteria.

Placements in the campus are good. Most of the tech companies allow all the branches to sit for the tests. Eligibility criterial for many companies is around 7 CGPA. The average package is around 15 LPA. 90%of registered students get placed

There are none to inspire me i just came like this is the highest priority of all the IIT aspirants There is no real world application problems connected to the curriculum I guess they should keep something that we use in job into curriculum

Placements start in your final year i.e. 5th year of IDD (Integrated Dual Degree) (IDD has been stopped), 4th year BTech/BS students, 2nd year MSc, 2nd year MTech, Research Scholars who have done their defence by February, etc. The placement process starts in August, & first, you have to make your CV. The companies' tests start in October. By December 1, the company's interview process starts, and many people start getting offers and by Dec. 14, placement Phase 1 is over. Then, in January, nearly from the 14th, phase 2 starts. About 2800 students sat for placement season 2024-25. About 1400 students have been placed in Phase 1, and by the end of Phase 2, about 1900 students will be placed through campus placements. This data includes everyone across departments and across courses, including PPOs. However, it doesn't include data from VGSOM (Vinod Gupta School of Management). The highest offer was nearly 2.5 Cr+. This time, it was from the CSE Department, but in the last two years, the highest was from the ECE department. The average is nearly 18 LPA. Profiles that are offered include core roles ( every department has its core roles like Law Schools have Corporate Lawyers or Patent Agents, the Chemical Department has a core role as a Chemical Engineer, the Mechanical Department has a Mechanical Engineer, etc.), Product roles (Product Management, Product Analyst) (*This year product roles were very less), Consulting roles (Management Consulting), Business Analyst roles, Finance roles (Corporate Finance, Investment Analyst, Equity Researcher, Quantitative Researcher, Trading, etc.), Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Data Engineering, Software Development roles, etc. The maximum number of roles is for software, about 40%. I am trying to establish a business.

Students are eligible for placements for during their pre final semester and it happens during the month of December. Many of top companies around the world visit the campus (Microsoft, Google, P&G, Nvidia etc) and around 1500 offers are made every year. The highest package is around Rs 2 Crore for Glean(US) and on average Rs 15 Lakh is there,around 70-80 percent students get placed in the recent slowdown, in normalcy around 85-90 percent get placed. My plan is to geta job in IT industry.

Placement opportunities depend based on your interests whether you would pursue core or non-core options. I would say non-core options are slightly better than core. But you can always pursue higher studies both in our country and abroad

I choose my course that chemistry because of the fact that I had got the rank that came under it and another reason is chemistry department is quite old here even if kanpur chemistry department is better for core, you will get chance for non core too here. Courses now deal more on chemistry related stuff. No need for course improvement Frequency is near end and mid sem there will be exams mode

The applications for placements generally start from the start of the graduating year. The core companies that visit are- schlumberger, exxonmobil, reliance, and other ONGC companies. For non-core placement almost all of the notable companies like fakebook, google, microsoft, goldmann&sachs and many more come. The highest packages can be as much as 1 crore. But median package is around 15-16 LPA. 70% to 80% of students of all branches get placed. Placement ratios in BS courses and lower branches are comparatively lesser. My plan after getting this degree would be to do MBA from any of the top IIMs. Otherwise if the subject really suits my research interest I can go for research in foreign universities.

The placement is good in IIT KGP in comparison to other colleges. People are eligible to sit for placements in their fourth year can sit for placements through CDC. The placements are held in two phases. In session 24-25, we have seen 1000+ offers to students in first phase. After getting degree, I would also go for doing job.

Curriculum is easier than different iits but student learn. A lot by involving in societies an it also do help in developing personality. Exam there are mid sems and end sem and i guess if a students studies for a week he could easily pass exam
