    Working hard as aspirant had finally paid when I came here

    College Infrastructure

    Well IIT Kgp infrastructure is according to me the most well maintained around the nation. Starting with the easiness of one student going to the nalanda building where are class is held the roads and cycle track are well maintained it helps us to reach there without any hurdle. Coming to the next thing that is the classroom is fully air conditioned and I think it is the reason for many to go to class even in summer.Hostel however I will say are not the best but decent.

    Academics

    As I am studying applied Geology which is due to my jee rank ,however even though I took geology as the only option ,the profs here such amazing that they make the class very interesting and that is something which attracts me to class everyday,and not because of the burden of 75% attendance criteria. Yes I feel the curriculum are well maintained time to time however I always feel there should is some scope of improvement in first year like focusing on professional communication.

    Placements

    As I am in my 2nd year ,i may not be the right person to give insight about placement but talking to senior and seeing the stats ,I will say at undergraduate level you won't get better Placement than here , offcourse I mean all the others iit as well . For example the package of my Branch geology was 21.63 median In 2022 which is I guess decent in any case .

    Value for Money

    I don't think this even as a question , because studying here and being a part of this family for next 4 year is something I will cherish my life . Getting the tag of IIT that also of IIT KGP is what many aspirant dream of .

    Campus Life

    I would have given 10 start out of 5 ,mannnn! I think the only thing you will miss after graduation is the campus life of IIT Kgp ,to be honest many people say size of campus does not matter but I think s such a huge campus size makes campus life more beautiful.

    College Infrastructure

    The infrastructure is good with all the facilities lying within the 2100 acres of the Lush Green Campus. The Labs and the Classroom Complex is well equipped with all the modern Requirements. The Halls Of Residences (Commonly referred to as Hostels) also are Liveable, although not that good.

    Academics

    I am currently pursuing B.Tech in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. Yes The Curriculum is up to date with recent technology. Although many people from non circuital branches mainly explore other regions such as Data Analysis, Machine Learning & Arificial intelligence etc.

    Placements

    The Placements depend from Student to Student. There are very few people that sit for the core placements, Most people go for Finance, Consulting and Software Development roles. Although it is not as settled as Circuital Branches but the Placements are overall decent

    Amazing. Love my life here.

    College Infrastructure

    Great. All labs and libraries are well equipped with state of the art facilities. The food in all hostels do not taste that great, specially students from states other than West Bengal do not like it much, but it is healthy and nutritious. WiFi is not available everywhere in hostel rooms, but it is available and is very fast in the academic area. The Gymkhana is also there to cater to the needs of sports lovers. The greenery all around is a treat to our eyes.

    Academics

    The standards are, as expected, quite high, and there is a lot of competition here. The grading system though has room for improvement, but professors are excellent, and students are outstanding. Research facilities are also available for prospective students.

    Placements

    Each year various companies, both domestic and foreign come to take students from our institute for placements, the interview process is rigorous and tough, but most students make it. The highest package offered is always in crores, and the CDC helps students in building their resumes and supports students throughout.

    Value for Money

    Totally worth it.

    Getting admitted into CSE in IIT Kharagpur is the best thing that has happened to me. I am very happy to be here.

    I am studying Engineering here in Civil engineering. The quality of teaching is good enough and the professors are highly educated here. The curriculum is updated regularly and it does include all the recent developments in the respective field.The education here is good enough to prepare oneself for the future competitive exams.

    Placements

    The placements here are of extremely high quality and are of very high packages. Most of the students get placed in the field of programming suggesting that CSE and ECE students get the highest packages. Core field students have fewer packages offered to them. The highest package offered here is 2.68 crore which was bagged by a student. There were a total of 1300 placement offers.

    Good infrastructure non ac campus. There is free wifi which can be used by students and this college has two well- constructed canteens. Food is very good and hygienic. Labs are with good maintainance.

    Academics

    Yes the professors are really talented and they also provide all sort of help needed to the students. They will infact provide you with lots of industry exposure as well. They simply think about you more than you think.

    Placements

    Yes , the placements in IIT Kharagpur are good but a student needs to be worthy for it. Average salary a student can expect is 40000-50000 INR per month. Generally, 95% of the students get placed after graduation. Overall this college will help you to grab a placement but you also need to work for it.

    Value for Money

    I'm doing btech and fees of this college is very economical as compared to other colleges. I'm giving around 150000 INR per year for my course. I feel that I'm totally getting my money's worth because this college gives quality education to the student. Apart from education, this college focusses on overall development of the students by engaging them into societies and internships to make them job ready.

    College Infrastructure

    Our college has all the necessary facilities. But, personally I think that the architecture and design of the buildings is a little outdated. We have wi-fi all over the campus and projectors in almost every classroom. Taste of the mess food is not that good.

    Academics

    The professors are good, but we have a compressed semester. So, the professors are teaching a bit fast. Even if the professors teach slow, the number of people listening to the professor is very low. Also, some professors are not at all interactive.

    Placements

    The placement quality is good. In fact, we have the highest placement this year which is around 2.6cr CTC. But, this year the Career Development Center(CDC) has cancelled the pre placement offers of many students just before placements which was a huge mistake from the College side.

    Others

    There will be some problems in every college, of you want to enjoy your student life and learn and develop your skills, then IIT KGP is the best college.

    Have a question related to IIT Kharagpur ?

    IS iit Kharagpur agriculture and food engineering good or mining . Student want to go in software in future

    if you want to make a career in software or IT, then both Agriculture and Food Engineering and Mining Engineering at IIT Kharagpur are not directly related to that field. However, students from these branches can still enter the software industry by learning coding, doing internships, and working on software projects. Between the two, Agriculture and Food Engineering may offer slightly better scope for data analysis or tech-related work.

    hi,

    With your SC category rank of 4165 in JEE Advanced, you do have a chance to get admission to the Architecture course at IIT Kharagpur. In the previous years, the closing rank for SC category in the B.Arch course at IIT Kharagpur was somewhere around this range, sometimes slightly higher or slightly lower depending on the year and seat availability. Your rank is quite close to the usual cut-off, so your chances are possible but may depend on how the seat allotment moves this year and how many candidates with better ranks opt for the same course.

    ACCORDING TO TOI IIT KGP HAS STOPPED BRANCH CHANGE BUT HERE IT IS GIVEN WE CAN CHANGE BRANCH WHAT IS CORRECT

    Hello Aspirant,

    According to some recent reports, including one from TOI, IIT Kharagpur has changed its branch change policy, probably blocking or discontinuing the branch change option as we have known it from 2024-25 onward. Although, some official site or previous iteration of the site may still show the previous policy that allows for branch change after the first year based on CGPA. To gain the most accurate and up-to-date information, you would want to look at:

    • The official IIT Kharagpur UG Rule book/academic brochure for the current year.
    • Postings on the official IIT KGP website or admissions website.
    • Direct contact with the academic office or administration.
