IIT Kharagpur - Indian Institute of Technology Answered Questions

IIT, Kanpur in no way is a better choice than IIT, Kharagpur due to various reasons.
IIT, Kanpur students enjoy lots of freedom and can feel independent as the college administration makes you feel mature enough to take rational judgements whereas norms are strict at IIT, Kharagpur.
IIT, Kanpur has an average placement of 12 LPA and highest reaching up to 23 LPA whereas in IIT, Kharagpur it is 10.5 LPA, highest reaching up to 19 lakh.
Although, the labs and all other equipment related facilities are remarkable in both the institutes but still, Kanpur campus is more vibrant than Kharagpur consisting a pool of talented minds in it.
Now, in terms of sports facilities, both the institutes provide sufficient equipment and sports related accessories but, the court at IIT-Kanpur is better and much modern than IIT, Kharagpur which is reflected in the inter IIT sports meet.

If you are taking up the branch of manufacturing science and engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur just because you are not eligible for getting any other branches in the same college then one thing is sure that you will end up with a minimum placement of around 7 to 9 lacs, in some of the corporate companies, IT firms that show up for the placement drive in the college.
Although if manufacturing science engineering really excites you and you are passionate about the branch then you might consider pursuing the same at the college.
But if you are expecting a number of high-quality core placements then you will be in for a great amount of disappointment that the college being an Indian Institute of Technology fails to provide with good core placements in the field. But if you want to increase your prospects of getting want to increase your prospects of getting placed inner core manufacturing science company then you must consider doing your Masters from overseas.
Hope you do well.

This year's placement stats of every IIT were influenced by the Make in India campaign of the Indian Government and because of this campaign, not only the number of core companies increased but it also embarked enthusiasm for core companies among students. This initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi meant that the institutes give early slots to core companies over non-core ones.
The placement for Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering Department of IIT-Kharagpur increased from 38% in 2015 t0 46% in 2016.

If aerospace is what excites you I would recommend you take up neither. IIST is the right place for you as it paves a way for you to go to ISRO.
Regardless, if you still wish to go to one of the IITs, IIT Madaras is a lot better place for you to take up aerospace engineering, only because of the advanced laboratories and the spectacular reputation of the faculty members at IIT Chennai.
Again, take up aerospace engineering only if you are really interested in the field, as there are not many core companies to recruit undergraduates in aerospace, and if that happens, you'll probably end up in any IT company like TCS, which will be a complete waste of your degree.
Although it is the best place for you start at if you intend to study further for MS/PhD. It gives opportunity for the top 10% percent students of the batch to get admission in the ivy league of colleges in USA, which is the entry ticket to the major core franchise present all around the world.
I hope you make the right choice.
Cheers!
