Inside life at IIT Kharagpur

Overall Rating
IIT Kharagpur in my opinion is most known and loved for its amazing campus life. Build around two thousand acres with a lush green pollution free campus, makes it a great place for night outs and general roaming around with friends. IITs are also known to have one of the best educations in India, so it was a no barrier for me to take this course at IIT Kharagpur. I have personally chose Manufacturing Science and Engineering course.
 

Academics Rating
I am a part of the Manufacturing Science and Engineering course here, which is mostly just an out shoot of the Mechanical Engineering Department. For entry, we require at least 75% in 12th boards, qualified JEE Mains and qualified JEE Advanced. The rank cutoff for this specific course went to around 6k rank this year. Manufacturing Engineering is a great branch of study having great and updated syllabus, with computer assisted courses and certain compulsory AI and ML courses which aid a lot in any branch as a tool.
 

Faculty Rating
All professors here at IIT Kharagpur are PhD scholars and very good teachers. They not only teach, but also try to explain points and link with real life applications. The only con here I would like to provide is that due to the large class size, its sometimes very difficult to approach professors for doubts within the classes, but they are always willing to help if approached by mail and generally respond within 24 hours.
 

Placement Rating
There is a Career Development Center here at IIT Kharagpur and it tries its best to aid the students here not only in placement but also in internships. With internships they try to aid you in developing your resume in a certain field of your desire. It tries to approach even foreign universities for research internship opportunities. The placement percentage here is around 70% and an average package is around 15 LPA. Most people who don't receive a placement go for higher studies or even entrepreneurship.
 

Hostel Rating
I am a boarder of LBS Hall here at IIT Kharagpur. The LBS Hall consists of all the fresher students and some seniors. There are triple sharing rooms here which are pretty spacious with essentials provided like bed, desk, chair, shelf, etc. The other halls here are well equipped as well. At the end of first year, students are split across rest of the Halls, which tries to funnel them into double sharing rooms and eventually single rooms. Halls have gyms, table tennis tables, some courts, and libraries.
 

Infrastructure Rating
There is really great infrastructure here. There are multiple academic complexes here and mostly AC classrooms with projector facilities. Digital libraries help a lot and have around 2.75 lakh books. The Wi-Fi and LAN speeds here are also great. Buildings here are generally well regulated and maintained. There are also multiple auditoriums where screenings, seminars, and such events are held.
 

Campus Rating
The campus life generally feels like a homely experience. There are more than fifty societies and clubs here. The seniors in these clubs will provide great information about the campus, staying here, and general advice. These societies also help in development of a person in communication or certain niche in which they are interested. There are also many fests here, but the two most important ones are Spring Fest and Kshitij Fest. Inter IIT sports competitions are also organised very seriously, with amazing sporting facilities and tutoring as well.

    I was always the topper of my class, but JEE preparation humbled me. But, I dreamt of something and had to achieve that at any cost. I still remember the day when I knew I'll be studying in one of the best Institutions of the country, I was on cloud nine and super excited.

    Being from a middle class family I have dreamt about getting into this Institute from Class 11. I didn't get much exposure to Engineering before, so I was very much excited. It is one of the largest campuses having a jungle spread on half of its area. One will not get bored as there many things to do. On every weekend, there are some programs going on at Gymkhana. There is excellent senior junior interaction; most of the seniors are very helpful. There are many societies as well which you can ge... Read Full Review

    The overall experience e here is very good, as we live like a family here and the locals of the residential area inside the campus are very kind and polite. The Academics, Societies, Sports Facilities, extra-curricular everything is excellent here except few things for which you might have to compromise. For others I would say the IIT Kharagpur will be best choice for them as the academics curricula is also very interesting and Professors are highly qualified as well, and their teaching method m...
