    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    IIT KGP is nourished with all the cutting-edge technology which are used in the industries and which are essential for the studies. But taking about the maintenance of the equipment sometimes some departments doesn't have their equipment maintained but those are only a few in number. Taking about the classroom, those are some nicely built equipped with tech for increasing the creative ways of learning. further about the food generally it pretty good but sometimes there are certain problems.

    Academics

    The College curriculum is pretty good .professors have in-depth knowledge and they are actively involved in researches. the certain teacher might have some communication issue but else each and every teacher have in-depth knowledge of their subject.

    Placements

    Placements have been pretty good. Huge tech-giants companies visit our college for placements and internships. One of the drawbacks is for some branches core companies doesn't come in such a great number.

    Value for Money

    College cost per year is about 2.7lac per year for a general category non-ews student but there are some scholarships for people with financial problems.

    Campus Life

    Campus life is lovely. It's awesome there is a society for almost every extracurricular activity, from dance to debate to LGBTQ society. There is literally everything. The nightlife of the college is so good (refereeing to 2.2 )

    Our B.tech course of 4 years costs 1.33 lakh per semester as of now.(1st year) (for general category).The fees includes the semester fees as well as mess and other charges such as connectivity costs, medical expenses, lab charges;etc. Though the fees per semester remains high, we expect it to be worth it at the end of our journey at IIT kharagpur.

    College Infrastructure

    The academic and sporting structure of the campus is pretty good with world class labs and classrooms. However the hostels are old and needs upgradation. The food hygiene also requires some special attention.

    Academics

    I'm pursuing Msc in Economics (5yr). I found the subject very interesting. The qualifications of the faculty and the curriculum is really good. However, it needs a little bit more improvement when it comes to the research side of economics when compared to other branches of IIT KGP

    Placements

    The quality of placement has really been good, one can check the statistics of the same which is available on the public domain. The median salary is above 10L p.a. The college is really supportive and tries to ensure placements for all.

    Value for Money

    I believe the campus experience and the association one gets here can't be compared to any other

    Campus Life

    Kgp is known for its vibrant campus life with facilities and association being extremely good. Talking about emergency situations, it becomes a bit difficult for its rural location.

    It's worth it. ;)

    Everything is so pleasant here !!

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    All the facilities are just excellent here. It is one of the those oldest IITs, so the college building is just astonishing. The campus is something that a student dreams of. WiFi is also available in hostels but the speed sometimes is not up-to the mark. Labs are well-equipped with latest equipment and is also well-maintained.

    Academics

    Most of the professors here are highly experienced and also well-qualified. Also they are easily approachable & very supportive as well. also, My curriculum is updated according to the recent changes in the course. The teaching makes us job-ready but additional skills should be developed by a student on his/her own.

    Placements

    The placements are pretty excellent. The placement rate is also very good. Internships are also provided before the placement drive in order to provide professional environment to a student before he/she faces the actual industry.

    Value for Money

    My fee per year costs around INR 1 lac. I think, it is value-for-money, as the placements are also very good. Also, the facilities provided are quite satisfying. I think you'll never feel that your money is not giving you the desired output.

    Campus Life

    Campus life is the best of them all. If you find a good company, then trust me these 4-5 years at the college are going to be something you'll miss for your whole life. The campus is built in a huge 2100 acres. The campus is very clean and it attracts one's eye because of the tress planted everywhere alongside the college path which seems very pleasant.

    Others

    These years at IIT Kharagpur are the best of my life. I'm missing my college campus which is currently closed due to COVID-19 pandemic. The college life is very good & one will enjoy it from his/her 1st day at college to the last day of college.

    The campus, of 2200 acres is worth visiting for anyone!

    College Infrastructure

    All the facilities are quite upto the mark. Infrastructure is one of the best across India. Only WiFi connectivity is weak in some parts of the campus, but that is not much of an issue as WiFi and LAN availability in hostels are good.

    Academics

    Most of the professors are highly qualified and at the same time, very friendly and easily approachable for any help regarding projects or academics. But again there are few of them who never reply to mails and are not easily approachable and do not answer to queries.

    Placements

    The placements statistics is one of the best across India here, there are over 1000 offers every year in just 6-7 days during placement season in December. The highest package, as most people know is generally INR 1crore+ for some software job abroad.

    Value for Money

    For those not availing any scholarship, the fees per year is quite a lot, as the tuition fees is INR 1lakh per semester. With this much to pay, one may always have in mind that the facilities we are getting is somewhat short of the money's worth. Nevertheless, all the facilities are satisfactory.

    Campus Life

    Campus Life is quite exciting, and during the Covid-19 induced lockdown, everyone is missing the campus life badly. With a peer group consisting of top minds of India, and experiencing the facilities in campus with friends is a jolly experience.

    To summarize I'd say that you should go explore it yourself

    College Infrastructure

    The infrastructure is good. The halls of residence are well maintained although there are many issues with the food in many halls but overall it's good. Labs are equipped and the instruments are well maintained.

    Academics

    In my one year experience, academics didn't quite match with the expectations I had but it's pretty nice. It could be better. If I tell you my experience then it's overall nice some professors are really good and some could really get on your nerves. As of now I can say just that, I have to explore it myself

    Placements

    If you work hard and don't lose your focus then J'm sure you can grab a good package doesn't matter if it is in your core branch or any non core. I haven't done much research in this matter but many people talk about how good these placements are.

    Value for Money

    The fees per semester is around 1.5 lakh which is very high when you consider that it is a premium and government run instituition. What's the point taxes and clearing JEE if we have to give such high fees.

    Campus Life

    If you find the right people, believe me this could be the best place you spend your 4 or 5 years. This is the place where you can have fun and learn a lot. There are places you could go inside the campus because the campus covers a huge land of 2300 acres and the greenery there is the best thing.

    Have a question related to IIT Kharagpur ?

    IS iit Kharagpur agriculture and food engineering good or mining . Student want to go in software in future

    if you want to make a career in software or IT, then both Agriculture and Food Engineering and Mining Engineering at IIT Kharagpur are not directly related to that field. However, students from these branches can still enter the software industry by learning coding, doing internships, and working on software projects. Between the two, Agriculture and Food Engineering may offer slightly better scope for data analysis or tech-related work.

    hi,

    With your SC category rank of 4165 in JEE Advanced, you do have a chance to get admission to the Architecture course at IIT Kharagpur. In the previous years, the closing rank for SC category in the B.Arch course at IIT Kharagpur was somewhere around this range, sometimes slightly higher or slightly lower depending on the year and seat availability. Your rank is quite close to the usual cut-off, so your chances are possible but may depend on how the seat allotment moves this year and how many candidates with better ranks opt for the same course.

    ACCORDING TO TOI IIT KGP HAS STOPPED BRANCH CHANGE BUT HERE IT IS GIVEN WE CAN CHANGE BRANCH WHAT IS CORRECT

    Hello Aspirant,

    According to some recent reports, including one from TOI, IIT Kharagpur has changed its branch change policy, probably blocking or discontinuing the branch change option as we have known it from 2024-25 onward. Although, some official site or previous iteration of the site may still show the previous policy that allows for branch change after the first year based on CGPA. To gain the most accurate and up-to-date information, you would want to look at:

    • The official IIT Kharagpur UG Rule book/academic brochure for the current year.
    • Postings on the official IIT KGP website or admissions website.
    • Direct contact with the academic office or administration.
