    IIT KGP Detailed Review

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    IIT Kharagpur, the mother of all IITs and the largest, is one of the most prolific institutes in India. The students here get lots of facilities at the college. The classrooms are all well-maintained and divided into two types- Circular and Rectangular for a better view of students. The Central Library of IIT Kharagpur is India's biggest and most-facilitated Library of India. Sports centers and grounds are available for students to pursue their interests. The mess food is mediocre but eatable.

    Academics

    I am currently studying in the Department of Electrical Engineering. Being a Fresher here, each 1st year Under Graduate student has to learn the same subjects for the current year. Some of the professors' lessons are not so easy to understand, but the books available for the subject make the topic clear. I think the curriculum is updated and includes all the recent developments in the field such as laboratories and machines.

    Placements

    IIT Kharagpur is best known for its placements in major giants like Google, Excel, Microsoft, and many more. About 80% of the students got placed. The highest salary package offered was Rs 2.68 crore per annum to the student with a B.tech degree in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Communication Engineering. The average salary offered was 16 lakhs per annum.

    Value for Money

    My course costs around 3 lakhs per annum. I don't think the course would be worth that money, but the college provides waivers and scholarships for those students who can't afford it. Scholarships are awarded based on one's family's annual income and the student's academic performance.

    Campus Life

    IIT Kharagpur also has the largest campus covering about 2100 acres of ground. It provides a lot of facilities including two stadiums, courts for almost all the sports, two lakes and many more parks for the students to visit. Being so large, the internet connectivity fluctuates a lot.

    Others

    I would recommend this college to the students preparing for their JEE Advanced Examinations. I would also like to mention that seniors and peer groups are very helpful and friendly. There are lots of societies and clubs for students to pursue any of their side interests.

    PROUD TO BE KGPIAN!!!

    College Infrastructure

    Infrastructure and course management are well-known strengths of the IITs. These resources are abundant at IIT KGP.The classrooms are air-conditioned and well equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is available throughout the entire campus.The Tata Steel Sports Complex, which is the center of all sports, is roughly the size of three soccer fields and two cricket grounds. Sanitation and hygiene is given a great attention.

    Academics

    I am a first-year student at the department of electronics and electrical communication engineering. I chose this branch because I am primarily interested in electronics.In the year 2020, our curriculum was revised, and starting that year, we were exposed to new curriculum and learning methods. The faculty is outstanding, and each has a PhD in their field of study. Additionally, we must select an extracurricular activity in our first year that will end in our second year.

    Placements

    Placements have been outstanding this year. 12 students recorded 1 crore plus package. On the first day of placements, only IIT KGP received the highest package amount of 2.68 crore. A total of 45 international offers came from countries like Japan (28), Taiwan (9), the US (3), and others. Additionally, students this year secured 900 internships. 2 domestic offers were close to 1 crore. to gain better placemements, the CDC helps students to enhance their skills.

    Value for Money

    Each semester, the cost of tuition is approximately Rs. 1 lakh, plus Rs. 30k for hostel and mess. Since no other institution offers this many facilities for this price, it is worthwhile.

    Campus Life

    On campus, there is no limit to enjoyment. We have a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and cultural centers. We have annual cultural fest known as spring fest and Tech fest called Kshitij. Numerous companies sponsor our fest. The one downside of IIT KGP is its location. There isn't much outside the campus since kharagpur is almost like a small town.

    Others

    Overall, you'll love the campus because it exudes the vibes and aura you need. You are given a new path to learn things by the people and their actions of approach.

    Academics

    Iam pursuing my B.tech ( chemical engineering). I have a got a decent rank to get into it. And being one of top institute so I opted it in no time. The curriculum is also good . In the first year all students have same curriculum, so it gives exposure to all the subjects.

    Placements

    It has very good packages till date. Last year highest package was INR 2.4 cr. Highest among all. Avg package is around 16 lpa. More than 95% students are placed. And even this year the highest package touched a benchmark of INR 4 Cr.

    Value for Money

    The actual fee is around 3 lpa. But you will get scholarships according to your income . And merit also. If you get MCM you your annual fee will be less than 1 lpa.

    Campus Life

    It's very exciting to be here . The peer groups and the seniors are helpful and friendly. Students can take part in many of the societies to develop their skills. Staff is also very helpful and understandable. It is safe and also near to the railway station.

    Others

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    IIT Kharagpur, unlike other IIT's, is located on the outskirts. But DON'T BE CONCERNED! All the necessary facilities are available here. Despite the fact that IIT Kharagpur is one of the oldest colleges in India, it has a fantastic and world-class infrastructure. The library is one of Asia's largest and is well equipped and well maintained. You can even find a digital library where you get access to digital resources and e-books. Coming to WI-FI, you may face issues in your halls.

    Academics

    The faculty at IIT Kharagpur are highly experienced and highly qualified, with outstanding knowledge in the subject area. So, never hesitate to clear your doubts with them. If they are not available, then teaching assistants are always there to help you out. And the academic curriculum is manageable, and you get a lot of time to explore new things and your interests.

    Placements

    This year there has been a breakthrough performance of IIT Kharagpur with fastest to climb 1000+ offers in just two days among all IIT's. The maximum number of offers has been made to the department of mechanical engineering, followed by ECE and CSE. You can refer to metakgp or awaaz for more statistics.

    Value for Money

    I belong to OBC category and my family income is in between 1-5 lakhs, so my tuition fee is 33000 per semester and if you are someone who belongs to SC/ST category, then there would no tution fee at all. Our money is completely worth it. At IIT Kharagpur you will be surrounded by world class infrastructure, well-equipped labs and great sports facilities. And you are amidst great peer group and alumni.

    Campus Life

    Campus life at IIT Kharagpur is the best!!! You can find various societies according to your interests like TFPS for photography, SPATS for astronomy etc. You can join various clubs and improve your communication skills and time management skills. You can find students roaming all around the beautiful 2200 acres area during weekends and doing night outs. You cannot find theatres/malls/pubs, so you have to make a great peer group and enjoy the beautiful campus and explore new things.

    College Infrastructure

    The college have a very high speed WiFi connections with sometimes it reaches to 1GB/s even but the thing is we cannot use whats app or telegram with that WiFi and cant download movies even,the class rooms and laboratories are awesom,sports facilities depends on the hall, big halls like LBS have all sports grounds within the hostel it self,the food will be clean and hygien but it depends on the hall,same menu but some halls cook them well where as some halls doesn't ,bathrooms are enough clean.

    Academics

    I am a mechanical engineering student,I took the course on my own interest only, the faculty of mechanical are mostly friendly expect few sirs who are too strict, they recently updated the curriculum in 2020, here we have an option of breadth i.e we can take a 1 course of other department which we like to do,so it will be useful for us at the time of placements, and there will be a lot of flexibility in the curriculum.

    Placements

    The placements here are awesome frankly speaking the mechanical engineering dominates all the other departments while placements,every year although CSE have the highest and average packages but MECH dominates with most number of offers every year,for more clear statistics of the placement data look at the AWAAZ,IIT KGP groups posts in facebook which is a student run body which updates you always about the college affairs.

    College Infrastructure

    The campus is Wi-Fi enabled. Bloomberg lab with 12 fully equipped terminals is provided. The library is available with books from multiple functions including analytics, finance, marketing, human resources and various other management books. Classrooms are newly built and well designed. Double occupancy rooms are available in the hostel. Mess food is bad, and medical facilities are decent. Sports facilities are also bad.

    Academics

    The course is very productive and will surely help one learn and go in-depth with the subjects offered. The faculty are well-educated and are youth mostly, so you can connect with them more. I liked the subject combination as well. They look into the practical aspects more, which helps us develop the mind frame to that of a professional. So, it's an advantage for us.

    Placements

    Almost 100% of the students got placed. The highest salary offered is 27 LPA, and the lowest salary offered is 8 LPA, and the average salary offered is 14 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Goldman Sachs, Pidilite, ICICI Lombard, and HDFC Bank visited the campus. Top roles offered are general Management and product management. Almost 100% of the students got an internship.

    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.
