Review of VGSOM IIT Kharagpur - Vinod Gupta School of Management.

Placements: The campus placements are good, with multiple offers in multiple domains. The average package offered is around 17 LPA, and the median is around 16 LPA. Many students get placed in consulting and analytics. The course curriculum is designed in such a way that such offers become feasible to candidates. The college has been achieving 100% placements consistently for the past 4 years and has also added some big brands like ITC, Amazon, Akzo Nobel, Jio Saavn, Dell, RBI etc.

Infrastructure: We used to indulge in various activities like swimming, and we had a proper gymkhana where we used to work out. It was well-equipped with all the latest machines. Apart from this, the college has a proper seminar hall. The hostel is good and well-maintained with ventilated rooms and 24-hours water and electricity supply. Apart from this, the hostel has a good and friendly environment, which actually helps us to fit in very quickly.

Faculty: We are taught various aspects of managerial concepts like managerial economics, financial management, and operational management. Along with this, there was a mandatory dissertation report which was supposed to be submitted during the final year. The college offers a micro specialisation in analytics which is its forte, However, finance courses are not generally taken up by students here.

I'm totally satisfied with university as placements are best.
