Proud to be Kgpian and being an IITian.
Placements: This year the average package was 16 Lacs and the highest was 92 lakhs. You cannot find core companies for biotechnology, so most of the students get placed in non-core companies. But, if you are passionate about Biotechnology then you can go for higher studies for research.
Infrastructure: Coming to the infrastructure, IIT Kharagpur consists of world-class facilities. Even though IIT Kharagpur is one of India's oldest colleges, it is comprised of great infrastructure. Every year renovation takes place and new constructions are going on. Biotechnology has got a newly constructed building which gives you a world-class feel equipped with well-maintained labs and classrooms.
Faculty: Faculty at IIT Kharagpur are highly experienced and have depths of knowledge in their respective subjects. Most of the professors are cool and student-friendly, So never hesitate to clear your doubts with them. And the academic curriculum is easily manageable, and you get a lot of time to explore new things.
Other: I chose this branch because I have a passion and interest in research and also IIT Kharagpur was always my dream campus. The campus life here is the best. You cannot find any pubs/malls but you have a great 2200 acres campus with all the necessary facilities and a great peer and alumni group. Fests like Kshitij and Spring fest are conducted every year, where you will get to connect with a lot of students.

Overall, it has been a great experience in terms of exposure we get in this institution.
Placements: Around 80-90% of students were placed, of which half of the students got placed in software, finance and consulting companies. The other half are placed in academia or research-based roles in healthcare companies. 100% of students are offered an internship either in industry or academia. Companies like Elucidate and Optum recruit for the core field, and companies like Gartner, Goldman Sachs, etc., for non-core fields. Many students are offered fully-funded PhD positions or Masters at prestigious institutions across the globe, including institutions like Harvard University, Cornell University, University of Illinois, University of Pennsylvania etc.
Infrastructure: 24*7 Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus. It has well-organised labs with dated equipment. Classrooms are large and have all the required teaching equipment. The library is one of the biggest in India, with access to several up-to-date books and journals. The old hostels are not maintained properly. But the new hostels are good and have a good infrastructure. Canteen food tastes good, but mess food has a mediocre taste. Medical facilities are okay. Sports and games are high quality and competitive.
Faculty: All the professors are well qualified and teach very well. The course curriculum is relevant to academic research. However, students who wish to gain industrial experience have to put in the extra effort. Exams are moderate, and the pass percentage is 90%.
Other: Apart from the excellent and elaborate coursework, there are numerous opportunities to pursue extracurricular activities. The students are actively involved in social and cultural activities, technology development and sports. There are lots of opportunities to pursue any career in any domain, be it within the scope of your course or something completely different from your field of study.

I wanted to do biotechnology course in which I am interested there is nothing negative to point out.
Placements: Approximately around 70-80% of students will be placed every year the highest package is around 80 Lacs - 1 crore per annum and the average package is around 12 - 14 Lacs per annum top recruiting companies are google, texas, microsoft, tcs, domora, amazon around 60-70% of students get intern every year.
Infrastructure: In terms of infrastructure, IIT kharagpur is one of the best colleges in India matching international standards. It is one of the few colleges in India which has upgraded its classrooms to facilitate teaching through modern tools an techniques. The college has centrally air-conditioned classrooms with wi-fi enabled lcd projectors .
Faculty: Yes we assume that the lecturer has enough time to lecture to the average student all the topics in the course plan before the final exam. This will be the case generally established course. The design of the curriculum packs in material to meet the capability only of the average student.
Other: We have lot of clubs and fests where we can explore a lot.

IIT Kharagpur a place to explore yourself.
Placements: Around 90% of students got placed. The highest package was 2cr per annum and the lowest was 6LPA meanwh the average CTC was 14LPA. Top recruiters included Google, Amazon, Adobe, Microsoft, BCG, Brain, Mckinsey, etc. Internship percentage was pretty less around 20% of the course enrolled student. Top roles were data scientist, Business Analyst, Software Developed, and Consultant.
Infrastructure: Department is in a awesome building with fully AC departments and Wi-Fi connectivity across campus including Labs, Classrooms, and Library. The hostel is not good at all with very basic facilities in rooms. The mess food is good with dedicated sports grounds, music room and TV room and Library in each hostel.
Faculty: The teaches are very helpful and graduated from prestigious foreign universities like Harvard, Stanford and MIT. The faculty is very qualified in their respective fields. The course curriculum is very well designed with electives and specializations available to all students. This makes them ready to pursue different roles. The exams are held twice per semester and are moderate difficult. Pass percentage depends on the subjects and range from 60% to 100%.. .
Other: I chose this course to pursue Ph.D. in Biotechnology. The best thing is the use of Biology in course which became very relevant after Covid-19 pandemic. The software courses could be taught more as they are more relevant to today's world. The springs fest is held per year in January which is the biggest cultural fest in east india. Kshitij the technology fest is also held which helps us learn more about teach. Campus has 50 societies in cultural and teach domain with sports grounds for each sport.
