B.Tech. in Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2028
4.4
5Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money
Honest overview of IIT KGP.
Placements: The Department of Artificial Intelligence at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur was established this year. My 4 year B.Tech batch in Artificial Intelligence is the first AI batch at IIT KGP, therefore, no placement information is available for my course. However, the average placement package for CS at IIT KGP is 24 LPA. We can expect a similar package for AI.
Infrastructure: Hostel facility quality varies. All first-year students are accommodated in Lal Bahadur Shastri Hall of Residence, which has a capacity of 2000+ students. It has clean washrooms and spacious triple-sharing rooms. Almost all hostels have triple-sharing or single-sharing rooms. An interesting feature is that if the hostel/hall has triple or double-sharing rooms, you can have roommates of your choice. Meals also vary among hostels, but they are properly planned according to nutritional requirements and are better than expected from a hostel. The hostel registration process is simple, takes less than a few hours, and is done offline on campus. The fee is nearly 1 lakh per year, including mess and everything, and you must live in a hostel. PG/Room options are unavailable. Nearly all classes are within a large complex called Nalanda, where there are many halls. All classrooms have a centralized cooling system and accommodation for 50 to 300 students. IIT KGP has one of Asia's biggest libraries, accommodating thousands of students daily. Timings are 9:00 am to 11:40 pm, and it remains open 24 hours a week before end-semester or mid-semester exams. The library also has digital libraries and provides access to all paid platforms required for accessing e-books, journals, theses, and research articles. IIT KGP has enough facilities for undergraduate learning and research.
Faculty: The student-faculty ratio is 14 faculty members (teaching assistants and professors) per student, which is more than enough. The faculty members and TAs are approachable. Debraj sir of Physics is very dedicated, trying to include each student and ensuring they understand every topic. However, other TAs don't have much knowledge regarding teaching or understanding student problems; they only know the solutions to the discussed questions. Regarding exams, there are two main exams each semester: the mid-semester, accounting for 30% of the total grade, and the end-semester, accounting for 50%. The other 20% depends on the course, mostly 75% from tests (usually twice a semester, with the average taken) and 25% for attendance and other factors decided by the professor. For labs, the marking system varies substantially.
Other: I chose AI at IIT KGP because of its focus on AI basics and depth compared to other IITs, where AI departments are diluted with data science courses. The courses here are industry-oriented and will help you land a job if you follow them properly. Although many first-year courses are useless for certain branches (like engineering drawing for AI), the courses are generally tailored to industry needs. The number of courses per branch per semester should be reduced, and depth should be increased. For example, in the first-year "Physics of Waves" course, interference, refraction, quantum mechanics, vector mechanics, and electrodynamics are taught superficially, making it useless for branches where further "Physics of Waves" will not be taught. The frequency of exams is twice a semester, with tests almost every week (which most students don't take seriously as cheating is easy). The difficulty level is slightly above JEE Advanced for courses with relative grading and at the Advanced level for courses with absolute grading. The campus is huge, so traveling takes a lot of time and will cost money if you don't use bicycles or prefer to walk.

IIT of joy - IIT Kharagpur.
Placements: As per last year's statistics, 68.75% of students get placed with the highest and minimum package of 33 and 8.5 Lacs, respectively. The average package was 17.96 lacs, and the median package was 16.50 lacs. Companies like Nestle, Britannia, etc. come every year for placements. Approximately 30 to 40% % students get internships in companies like Nestle, Britannia, etc.
Infrastructure: IIT KGP has great infrastructure with all facilities; my department has AC classrooms with modern projectors to teach. Wi-Fi is available on the whole campus, and at the same time, library facilities are also good. We have a central library that has all the useful books. Free bus and medical services are provided inside the campus. The hostel provides all required facilities, including sports, proper electricity supply, furniture, etc. But mess food is below average.
Faculty: All teachers are helpful; you approach them first and are well qualified. A few teachers are involved in some research. They thought so as well. Yes, the curriculum is relevant for my industry but a little modification is required. Marking is relatively new, so their are no fixed passing criteria. Their are two major exams in a semester, mid-semester and end-semester. Some courses are very tough and some are medium. Overall, the semester is above average.
Other: I chose this course because it is related to my culture and I was looking for the top 5 IITs while counseling and as per my rank, I got this. The best thing about this course is that it is not a loaded branch, so we can get a lot of free time to skill up ourselves. A new and advanced farming method should be thought of. Various events and extra activities happen yearly, like Malhar, NSSC, shaurya, Indian case challenge, etc. Two major festivals—Kshitij, a technical fest and Springs Fest—happen in January every year.

My college is good in terms of infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: In my department, it is enthusiastic people about aerospace. So many of them choose higher studies in foreign countries. In my course, if you want a job, at least you have to do M.Tech. Companies related to the core are Rolls-Royce, Airbus, BNB, and many others. But if you are a good skilled engineer, you can apply off-campus and easily get a good job.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure was so good. We have recently added a new building. It has so many labs; I don’t know the correct number, but it has nearly 10 labs in the core course, and we also have some labs from other departments to improve our knowledge in other fields and use them in our branch.
Faculty: The facilities are good, but aerospace engineering is a bit of a hard course. It requires a lot of time, effort, and passion to complete this course. Professors are very skilled; they do a lot of research in their field, but sometimes you may face problems understanding professors because their level of knowledge is high. So, sometimes it's hard to understand them.
Other: Campus life is so good. We have so many societies, clubs, and cells that engage you in so many activities. They help you to find your passion. Very good facilities are available for sports, culture, and teaching. People are taught and there is a lot of competition to enhance their skills.
