Brilliant infrastructure and campus life.

Placements: Placements were really good and the package offered to students was quite impressive. The maximum package offered was 30 Lacs, and the average package size was 14 Lacs per annum. Internships were available for students in every semester and above 75% of students got placements from the campus. The placement cell is very responsive.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very good, and the hostel premises have an amazing environment. All types of facilities like Wi-Fi, well-equipped labs with computers, modern architecture, and all other facilities were provided to students. Sports and medical facilities were also available for the students.

Faculty: Faculty at IIT Kharagpur were well-educated and sophisticated, but they were quite rude towards the students and didn't help them with their problems regarding the curriculum. Teaching quality is good, but students need to purchase extra courses for qualifying exams. Semester examinations are tough, and questions are application-based.

Placements are the best factor.

Placements: Internships are offered by various companies here. Many students apply for gsoc and other such opportunities while some apply for internship at foreign universities. Most circuital branches have a good record of internship while core branches do not have a good internship score. Students get eligible for placements from their last year. The highest package offered are up to 2 crores for some candidate.

Infrastructure: Some hostels are not up to the mark here. Food quality in hostels is bad to the point where students prefer having maggi to eating at the mess. A typical room has all the facilities you can except in the hostel room. The registration process is short and doesn't take much time.

Faculty: Exams are difficult as we have to study hard to score good marks. The exams occurred every now and then in my first semester and they required good practice of concepts covered to ace them. Faculty members are very experienced they all have their working projects and active projects. There is lots of things to learn from the faculty members of our college. We can also work with them by taking their consent.

Glimpse of IIT Kharagpur in 2025.

Placements: Approximately 60 percent of students are placed in the civil department. The highest package is around 40-50 lacs per annum, the average is approximately 12 lacs per annum, and the lowest package is around 4 lacs per annum. Around 20 percent of students get on-campus internships.

Infrastructure: In this college, Wi-Fi is available and runs very well. The lab room is old but all the instruments in that lab are new and work very well. The classroom is very well. In the main library, all types of books are available. One special thing is that at IIT Kharagpur, all types of sports are played and available in a good space.

Faculty: Some teachers are very helpful and some teachers are very rude. I think this course curriculum is relevant. When I talk about difficulty in semester exams, in some subjects, you will feel it is very hard and in some subjects, you feel it is so easy so it is dependent on the subject. Approximately 50 percent of the students pass in some semesters but in some semesters approximately 80 percent of the students pass.

Other: After taking this course, we take the examination to get IES and IAS and we also apply for core and tech also.
