IIT Kharagpur All Questions

Hello Aspirant,

For IIT Kharagpur there is no requirement of JEE-Main score because is based on the JEE-Advance score but to sit for JEE-Advance you need to qualify JEE-Main and JEE-Main qualifying cut-off is released along with the result of both the sessions of JEE-Main 2022.

As the cut-offs are released along with the JEE-Main 2022 result so for now you can get an idea from JEE-Main 2021 qualifying cut-offs that are enlisted below :-

==>> Common Rank List (CRL) - 87.8992241-100.0000000 Percentile

==>> GEN-EWS - 66.2214845-87.8950071 Percentile

==>> Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) - 68.0234447-87.8950071 Percentile

==>> Scheduled Caste (SC) - 46.8825338-87.8950071 Percentile

==>> Scheduled Tribe (ST) - 34.6728999 87.8474721 Percentile

==>> PwD - 0.0096375-87.8273359 Percentile

Note that in above table it is not the actual cut-off for JEE-Main 2022 but previous year's cut-off.

You can check out previous year's cut-off trends from the link given below :-

https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-cutoff

As we go through the latest cut-off of 2021 then it shows that the closing PwD rank was 19 for CSE branch in IIT Kharagpur.

See it is quite difficult to tell you about exact marks to score because for JEE-Advance no maximum marks are fixed but yes with regards to JEE-Advance 2022 if you secure your PwD rank in JEE-Advance under top 15 then there are good chances for you to get CSE branch in IIT Kharagpur .

You can check out the latest cut-offs from the link given below :-

Note that the above prediction is made on the basis of latest cut-offs available on official website of JOSAA and the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors such as the number of candidates appearing in an examination, the number of candidates qualifying an examination, difficulty level of the paper, and so on.

Hello Sai Dhanush Sayam. Thanks for contacting Careers360 and we hope we will be able to answer your query.

I am afraid that you cannot get into IIT Kharagpur through NATA. The basis for admissions into IIT are as follows (for B. Arch):

1. Clear JEE Mains and then clear JEE Advanced.

2. After this, the IITs will conduct a Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT) on the basis of which the final admissions are made.

I would also advice you to visit this link for more information:

Hope this helps you and all the best! 

Hi,

In my opinion, you should go for IIT Kanpur.

The Aerospace Engineering department at IITK has four subsections- Aerodynamics, Flight dynamics and control, Structures and Propulsion. Each subsection has their own computational and experimental laboratories. Various laboratories in Aero IITK are: Computational Fluid Dynamics Lab, Computational Structures Lab, Computational Flight Machanics , Computational Propulsion, Virtual Instrumentation Lab, Unsteady Aerodynamics Lab, High Speed Aerodynamics Lab, Propulsion Lab, UAV and MAV laboratories, Advanced Structures and Materials Lab, Structural Analysis Lab. Besides, we are the only IIT to have a large closed circuit Wind Tunnel . We also have open circuit wind tunnels meant for UG lab courses and High speed wind tunnel with design Mach number as high as 2–2.5 . Thus, Aerospace Engineering is a great place to explore your research potentials. You can even get a few papers published in respected journals in your Undergraduate programs if you work hard enough.

As far as foreign universities are concerned, great many students from our department go for summer internships and higher studies abroad. I have many friends from my batch alone who are doing their summer internships abroad in US, Russia, France, Italy. Even I am an SN Bose Scholar doing my summer Internship at University of Southern California this summer. Many of my seniors have gone for MS and PhD programs to esteemed Universities like University of Maryland, Stanford, John Hopkins, Purdue, Georgia Tech and so on. Getting into foreign universities entirely depends on how hard you work in you Undergraduate life and has nothing to do with which IIT you get into.

As far as placements are concerned, IITK has a slight edge over IITM due to its location and the working of the Placement cell. Since most of the government and private aviation and aerospace research organizations are located in South India, recruiting from IITM becomes easier.

Being one of the oldest IITs, the student life at IITK is great. The atmosphere here is dynamic and conducive for both academic and extracurricular. IITK has great sports facilities with large number of tennis and basketball courts, large hockey and football ground and Olympic sized swimming pool. The student body, Gymkhana is very active throughout the year, There are large number of clubs and hobby groups. You can join any number of clubs and hobby groups and explore your interest and broaden your horizon while having good academics. Since most of the activities in IITK are managed by the students, you get to build good managerial and professional skills. IITK organizes three main inter college festivals- Antaragni(Cult fest), Techkriti(Tech fest) and Udghosh(Sports fest). All these fest are completely organized by students and receive great participation and response. The PORs (Position of Responsibility) range from Event secretaries to Festival coordinators. Besides, we also have Inter hall competitions- Galaxy(cult fest), Takneek(Tech fest), Inferno(sports fest). The atmosphere during these Inter hall competitions is quite electrifying and the best experience during your entire stay at IITK.

Besides this, the faculty student interaction is great. The professors are very friendly and humble. You can easily get to work on projects under any professor in areas of your interest. It is easy to get good recommendations if you maintain even a decent enough relation with the professors.

The student life at IITK is wholesome and something you will cherish even after your graduation from this great place.

Hope this helps.

All the best.

Hello Krishna,

M.Tech Food Processing Engineering in Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and International Joint Master of Technology (M.Tech.) degree (IMD) in Food Science and Technology offered by Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati and Gifu University, a national University in Japan are best at there places. Among the both Joint Master of Technology in Food Technology course in Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati is preferred as this type of program is launched newly in India and may have good scope. Where are M.Tech M.Tech Food Processing Engineering in Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur is a regular Masters course you can find in any other College.

But here are only 5 seats for Indians and another 5 seats for Japan students for Joint Master of Technology in Food Technology course in Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati which has high competition.

Hello Subbu,

Food processing is considered as a lower branch in all the colleges and if seen from the practical aspect , in india there is very less scope in the food processing stream or in the horeca buisness.

If you want to pursue this career then i would recommend you to kindly look for abroad colleges for your post graduation and if possible kindly change your branch.

But also keep in mind if you are not able to change your branch then it doesn't mean it's a waste doing this degree. After all you are in iit and there are many companies which allows for non core stream even from this branch.

Hi Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great.

I am sharing with you the eligibility criteria and admission process of IIT Kharagpur for MTech in food processing.

Eligibility criteria is that you must have passed Bachelor's Degree in Engineering/Technology/Architecture/M.Sc or equivalent professional degrees (AMIE etc.) and having a valid GATE score. You need to make sure that your GATE marks are above the cut-off marks of your category and GATE paper.

Admission is based on gate score or gate score( 70% weightage) and then a personal interview round. A personal interview is necessary because it tests motivation and aptitude for the Programme, suitability for the department/center, Skills in basic science, engineering, and relevant areas. And one more thing is that the personal interview will be conducted at IIT Kharagpur only.

Hope this helps.
