Absolutely satisfied with college life, and the campus is really huge.
Placements: The placements here are really good. The average package ranges from 10-13 LPA. The average package for CSE, MnC ranges from 18-20 LPA. In the electrical engineering department, the average package ranges from 14-16 LPA. For other branches, it's a little bit low, but overall, the placements are really good. You should definitely go for IIT Kharagpur if you can get it.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is decent, and some halls are really good while some are not much good. Most of the halls have 3-seaters for first-year students, and in 2nd year, the hall is changed, then mostly 2nd years also get 2 seater or 3 seater rooms. Only a few halls have single rooms for each student.
Faculty: The faculty members are really good and qualified. Some professors are very good, and they are friendly with students, while some faculty members aren't much friendly. The course curriculum is really good. In the first year, each branch students have to study the same subjects, and from the 2nd year, students have to study the subjects of their courses.

It is one of the best IITs that produces the cream of India.
Placements: The total batch size appearing for placements is approximately 1300 students. The percentage of students who got placed in my batch is 98%. The highest package offered is 30 LPA, the lowest package is 10 LPA, and the average package is 16 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Texas Instruments and Intel. The percentage of students who got internships is 90%. The top roles offered are software engineer and electrical engineer.
Infrastructure: The facilities available in our department are average as the machines are a bit outdated and do not function well, but they keep renovating the labs. As the number of students available in the courses is high, we are divided into groups of 3-4 students to perform experiments. The hostels in IIT Kharagpur are known as Halls of Residence, as we truly say, IIT Kharagpur is our 2nd home, or home away from home. We have around 23 Halls of Residence named in terms of various freedom fighters. Most of the halls have good facilities in terms of food, staying, hall activities, sports, cultural and technical activities, but some halls have a low capacity and lack big halls. We have a dedicated hospital called BC ROY Technology Hospital.
Faculty: To be frank, not all the teachers are very helpful, but some are understanding and helpful. They are experienced teachers, but some are outdated and restricted to the traditional teaching method, with 100% attendance in class. They keep changing the course content to adapt to the industry trends but are not very frequent.
Other: As per my rank in IIT JEE, I was offered IIT KGP in terms of old IITs as I did not want to join the newer IITs, and I am happy to be the alumnus of this prestigious college. I had made great friends for life. In terms of events and fests, I can assure you IIT KGP is one of the best, as we have the largest techno-management festival called Kshitij and the largest social-cultural fest called Spring fest. These two fests are a life line of every student.

There are good placements, really good infrastructure, etc.
Placements: About 80% of the students got placed from our course. Google, Amazon and other MNCs visit here for placements. About 70% of the students get internships from here. Some of the students get placement offers with salary packages of crores. But all these offers are provided outside India only but not in India. You will have a new way of leading life through this amount of experience.
Infrastructure: I have not seen this type of infrastructure in any other Indian college. Green boards are very good, and all the lecture halls are highly air-conditioned. The quality of the food served in the mess is not satisfactory, but you will get good food in the canteen. There is a very good environment for sports, and our college organises inter hall competitions.
Faculty: All the teachers here are very helpful and qualified. They help us beyond our expectations. You can use learned ideas in the project and finding innovative solutions to problems. The course curriculum is very much relevant, but students do not take it seriously. So, students should consider it seriously.
Other: I have chosen this course as there are good placements and internships in MNCs. I think our college should make us learn somewhat coding to improve chances to get placed in MNCs. There is a good competitive environment.

The oldest Indian Institute of Technology is a very good college from all points of view.
Placements: It has a very good placement record. The average package is about 12 LPA. The lowest package drops to 5 LPA and the highest being near 45 LPA. Almost all the students who were interested in acquiring a job got so, others following different M.Tech courses.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi is really good with high-speed internet available to the students 24x7. The Wi-Fi is available almost all over the campus. The classrooms have airconditioning system installed in them. The quality of food in the canteen is relatively bad. The hostel rooms are great too.
Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and always helpful when approached with doubts that students face. The teachers teach quite well. They usually teach from a set of slides. Some hard concepts are also explained on the board. The students to faculty ratio is not that good but sufficient. The course is excellent overall.
Other: IIT Kharagpur is well known for its fests like Kshitij, Spring fest with people coming from around India to attend them. The campus is self-sufficient.

If you go to JEE notice, there is a specific year of a gap after 12th standard after which you can't take JEE exam. Also, there is a maximum number of attempts. So it depends on how many times you have taken JEE, how many years since you finished your 12th class and also you're age.
