IIT kharagpur - The dream of youth.

Placements: Students who want to take placements can easily secure them after some exams. The average package is 12 lakh per annum, while the highest package was about 1 crore per annum. Top recruitment companies include Google, Microsoft, PwC, etc. Almost all students get internships, and the top roles for my course are as researchers.

Infrastructure: There's a fantastic hostel facility at IIT KGP. You can choose a single room or a double-bedded room with a fan, one bed, one study table and chair, and one cupboard in every room. Some of the rooms also have AC facilities. There is free Wi-Fi for every student, and the food is fantastic and delicious. You will also receive free healthcare. Additionally, there is a library and study room in every hall.

Faculty: The professors here are highly qualified, with almost all of them holding foreign degrees. The course is entirely relevant to industry standards. The exams are quite difficult, so you need to study consistently every day to score good marks. However, you will receive a lot of help from the teachers.

Other: I chose this subject because I love it and want to pursue further studies and learn about it deeply. There are many sports and competitions happening every day. The campus environment is fantastic.

A short review for upcoming M.Sc. students in IIT Kharagpur.

Placements: I am a student of M.Sc. . Mathematics at IIT Kharagpur (batch of 2025). Generally, placements in the mathematics department are very good because M.Tech in CSDP is also included in the mathematics department. But 90 percent of M.Sc. students in mathematics who opt for placements get placed in various EdTechs or IT sectors, depending on there interest. In Edtechs Sri Chaitanya, Unacademy, Byju's, etc., students get placed there for around CTC 10–12 LPA. Some of the motivated students (including my seniors and batchmates) study data science, data analytics, and software development on their own and get placed at IBM, Google, TCS, Siemens, Amazon, and various HFTs for CTC 15, 20 LPA. But most of the placements in our department happen in the EdTech industry. Lastly, we have a mandatory 2-month summer internship program. Many of our seniors got internships in the IT sector, while others opted for academic internships. You can have a paid or unpaid internship, depending on the institute or company.

Infrastructure: You can do anything on your mind, and you will get top-notch facilities here. Cricket, football, swimming, tennis, squash. It's basically a never-ending list, and the craze for GC (competition between hostels) is immense. Also, we have a tournament called SHAURYA, where various institutions from West Bengle participate, and IIT KGP hosts the tournament. Facilities are not limited to sports only; you can also join instrumental music, sing, dance, play or anything else and also participate in inter-IIT competitions. And you can also join various clubs in Gymkhana. In short, you name something and you will find that there are many restaurants on campus as well. In new hostels, you will get single rooms with centralized AC, washing machines on every floor, centralized toilets, and bathrooms that get cleaned every day. In old hostels, you won't have access to AC, and you also have to share rooms with one or two roommates (depending on your luck). The quality of food in canteens is good; some of the night canteens are very famous for there food (JC Bose, VS, RK, etc.). The taste of mess food is basically a lottery case; some days it's good and some days it's terrible. But they use quality products that's ensured by boarders who have to do there mess duties. And you will find many restaurants on campus. And you will get free medicine from Frank Cross Pharmacy with the prescription of BC Roy Hospital (inside campus) if you are ill.

Faculty: Every teacher is highly qualified in IIT's and it reflects in there lectures. They are very helpful, and you can have discussions at any time with their convenience. They teach us what is helpful and relevant for our future (various exams or a PhD). You can not complain much about faculty members at any IIT (with a few exceptions, obviously). But exams are on the tougher side for every paper and the grading system for every teacher also varies. There are midterm and endterm examinations and you will not be given any study leave or gaps between exams.

Other: I was motivated to study mathematics; that's why I came here. You have access to one of Asia's biggest libraries and some of the best teachers in our country, that's for sure. Also, the campus life of IIT KGP is awesome; everyone knows about Springfest, the biggest fest in Southeast Asia and the biggest Techfest in India, where you can participate in various hackathons, robotics, AI competitions, etc. If you are an M.Sc. student, you can get an assistantship of 1000 INR per month, or you can apply for any state scholarship (Domicile of West Bengal) or central scholarship.

Infrastructure: IIT kharagpur has given the option to first year students to attend online classes from the campus from the next ontsh.

Faculty: The undergraduate courses at iitkharagpur are known for their academic depth and professional learning flexibility, imbibed with options to earn minor or extra credits. Having an apt mix of basic sciences, engineering sciences, management project work and electives.

Other: To summarise life in one word, life in iitkgp is peace, irrespe active of whether you are a boy or a girl. Sex ratio is not soo good (1:12), but independence you get to be yourself is just great. In the first few months, hostels have a deadline 10 pm for the first years. But you can always inform and go out side for genuisne reasons.

A honest review from my end.

Placements: Last year, 3 students sat for the placements and three of them got placed in good companies. You can sit for various roles like software developer, data analyst, tutor in prestigious coaching institute and private colleges also. A good package was offered here last year, i.e. 18 LPA.

Infrastructure: There is no doubt that IIT has best infrastructure. Hostel facilities are good but as it is one of the oldest IITs, so there are some old hostels with small rooms and there is no AC at all in any hostel. Also, they have so many issues with accommodation right now as they are not able to finish the construction of new hostels so they have forced 4 students to live in a single room. Wi-Fi is present all over the hostel.

Faculty: The course curriculum’s pressure is so hectic. Recently, they have changed the curriculum and added so many interesting things which are going to help in us during placements as well as during competitive exams.
