Highly satisfied with the placements and campus, though classrooms could have been better.

Placements: The placements for my course are very nice. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Zomato, etc., come for placements and internships in the course. More than 90% of the students of my course get placed every year, which in itself is a good number. Students also go for roles in other sectors.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is old as compared to the newer IITs. The Wi-Fi connectivity is disappointing as it is not good at various places. The hostel rooms are good, but the quality of mess food is okay. The sports facilities in the campus are excellent. The medical facilities are also good.

Faculty: The faculty for our department is excellent, though some courses taught in the first year seem irrelevant. The professors are highly friendly and helpful, which is a very good thing. The difficulty of the semester exams depends completely on luck, sometimes it is tough and sometimes easy. Despite this, the overall pass percentage is very good.

Other: The extracurricular activities in the campus are amazing. The culture of societies and clubs helps us make new friends and very good connections. The seniors are also very helpful.

Faculty: The teachers are very qualified and knowledgeable. They have good teaching qualities. This course is curriculum relevant, but students are not industry-ready. The semester exam in my college was very difficult. The pass percentage in the exam is 40% in all subjects.

Satisfied with the faculty and placements, campus life is good, and overall a solid 4.5/5.

Placements: Placements, of course, are appreciable and assuring. The number of students placed every year is one of the highest in the country. Last year itself (2023), about 90% of students were placed from my branch (Instrumentation Engineering) with an average of about 20-25 LPA, while the highest being 70-80 LPA. Of course the pay can vary from branch to branch, but overall placement opportunities are very assuring here.

Infrastructure: As far as the infrastructure is concerned, IIT Kharagpur provides one of the finest facilities in the country. There are 13 boys and 3 girls in the hostel here. The rooms are spacious. Security is good as well; there are cameras all over, and guards stay on guard 24/7. The only reason I am giving this a 4/5 rating is the mess. Though the food is not completely unbearable, the hygiene seems to be compromised a little.

Faculty: Faculty indeed is top tier. As far as the curriculum and exams are concerned, the opinion might vary person to person. Though I think everyone will agree that the curriculum is pretty burdening. Well, what would you expect from an IIT after all? Competition is high; exams are accordingly difficult. However, the CGPA is distributed relatively, so that mustn't be a concern if one starts studying at least a week before the exams commence.

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.
