Overall Rating
As a premier institute of science and technology, IIT KGP is equipped with the best amenities for studying. All the classes are air conditioned, attached with projector and computer for smart study. We have a hospital and a market inside the campus. 3 banks have their branch inside the campus, along with a few ATMs. Also, sports and recreational facilities are also here.
 

Academics Rating
I entered this course via JAM 2023 exam, this exam is hosted each year by one of the various IITs and IISc Bangalore. One must have a B.Sc or B.Tech in the relevant stream. Students usually join this course to either pursue higher studies or for placements in various financial/data/edtech companies. I personally wish to pursue my Ph.D.
 

Faculty Rating
Most of the faculties are friendly and you can ask them for help about your doubts and such. If needed they may also give you an appointment at their personal office to understand a topic better or simply for other academic discussions. They mostly start from the basics and then reach topics which require higher understanding.
 

Placement Rating
Placement Cell is present and regular sessions/seminars are conducted for the students who will sit in the upcoming placement drive.
 

Hostel Rating
Hostels are equipped with basic amenities, each student receives a bed a chair and a table. Washrooms are ample in quantity. Common geyser outlets and water purifiers are also present.
 

Infrastructure Rating
Infrastructure of all the sections are pretty good, whether it be departmental or central. Each department has individual offices for each teachers, a few classrooms, since all of the classes are held in a separate complex called Nalanda Complex. Bus services are available throughout the campus for classes.
 

Campus Rating
Campus life is pretty vibrant. Be it day or night, you will enjoy your each and every moment here. Sports and recreational facilities are all over the campus, clubs of every interest is present here. You can join your friends in night time and visit canteens and have the best moments of your lives. From Illumination to Spring Fests, students have the best memories of these fests.
