From the seventh semester of college students are eligible for college placements. The highest package offered at the Indian Institute of Technology is 2.68 crore for the academic year 2023. Companies like Google, Microsoft, and many more visited to campus.
Admissions are taken based on jee advanced for the Indian Institute of Technology. First, you need to qualify for the 12th boards through the science stream and joint entrance examination(jee) to appear for jee advanced.
Read Full ReviewAfter 6th semester students become eligible for campus placements. All MNCs that come to college offer very nice packages. Last time highest package was somewhere around 2 crores+. And the average package was somewhere around 16-20lakhs. Almost all the students get placed.
IIT are one of renowned engineering in INDIA. JEE ADVANCE is the entrance exam for the IITs. According to your ranking you will get course according to your preference. You can find the application for the JEE advance in NTA. This exam is conducted by IITs. Every year one IIT take responsibility to conduct the exam. I got Gen-EWS reservation to get into this college. This quota not that much better as OBC but It is better than General merits. It helps little bit. After the exam results, there around 6-7 round of counselling takes with takes around 2-3months to complete the process. I don't think any improvements needed in the admission process of the college.
Read Full ReviewThe students become eligible for campus placements after the 7th semester . Companies like Google, Microsoft have visited in the past years and have offered roles in various domains such as SDE, Data, SWE .The highest package in domestic goes around 70LPA wheraes the average goes around 15-16 LPA .According to a recent data , it shows that that 87 percent of students are placed whereas others go for higher education . My plans are mostly to target a specific domain such as data and land up a job in a firm
I had to appear for the JEE Exam soa as to be eligible in my college for admission . The application forms were released on the website of NTA which conducts the exam . We can avail various type of reservations based on category, disability etc. One improvement I would like to see is the process of verification should be more clear regarding the documents submission
Read Full ReviewI chose this course (mechanical engineering) because it lies within my interest in study. The faculty-student ratio in the mechanical engineering department here in IIT KGP is high, that is there are many students in one class.
For admission in this course or any IIT, the candidate needs to qualify for JEE Advanced and secure a good rank. I got a seat in IIT KGP through JoSAA counseling. The seat allocation is done online and can be very confusing for people who do it on their own.
Read Full ReviewStudents are eligible for internships in the pre-final year and for placements in their final year. The placement rate at IIT Kharagpur is about 90%. About 200 companies visit every year making around 2200 offers for B.tech, M.tech and PhD students. The highest package till now is 2.2 Crores per annum and the average package is approx. ?15 lacs per annum I am willing to join a core company in Electrical Engineering and aim for a good company in the college placements.
I took the JEE(Advanced) Exam in 2021, and for this, the eligibility criteria was to qualify for the JEE(Main) Examination. The application form, fees, and dates can be found on the official website for JEE(Main) and Advanced. The Reservations are also available as per govt. rules as it is a govt. examination. I was under the general quota, so was not able to avail any benefits from this reservation. The admission process was a bit of time and the whole counselling and admitting to college took almost 1 month, I think this can be reduced by the government.
Read Full ReviewFinal-year students sit into placements from December 1, between their last 2 semesters. There are around 300+ companies who visit our college. Some others do not take part in placements but invite students to their offices, not a typical off-campus offer. I'd say almost everybody gets placed.
You would have to qualify for JEE mains, conducted by NTA, and then get a good rank in JEE Advanced. The details like form, fee and application dates keep changing. I would advise students to keep checking the NTA and JEE Advanced websites for updates and more information.

Almost all IITs are excellent engineering colleges providing the best education and amenities. Yet there might be some comparisons that can be drawn based on common aspects like choice, infrastructure, and geographical location. Eventually, it’s a matter of your preferences and not the institute's worth.
For example, if you are someone who considers Academics the most important factor to determine the credibility of an institute, then IIT Kanpur is the best choice for you. It has the toughest grading system and the entire focus is on studies. So if you are excellent in academics, you will remain at the top here.
Both institutes face a certain level of locational disadvantage but IIT Kanpur is still slightly better in this aspect.
I suggest you not to score below 6.5 as CGPA 7 is a must to get admission in a good foreign university. However with a CGPA of 6.5 you can go for Government jobs. I know a friend who did not focus on CGPA and played football and today is struggling to get a good job.
It is all the more difficult to get a good CGPA after low marks in the first semester because the professors evaluate you on the basis of previous grades sometimes. However, you will get placement into a decent private company so you don’t have to worry much.
Basically, even after getting admission at a good institute like IIT KGP, you have to keep struggling to score high marks.
These colleges don’t reveal the separate weightage break-up for work experience, test scores, and other such factors. For the final shortlist, institutes such as IIT KGP, IIM C, and ISI Kolkata take these factors into consideration along with your performance in the interview. These institutes assign a good volume of weightage to the entrance examination score. So, try to improve your test score as much as possible.
A few of my friends were Institute toppers and I asked them about their study method. Most of my topper friends study just 2 days before exams in the library and then teach their friends and clear their doubts.
Another topper friend solved all the previous year question papers of the subject and uploads the solutions on the Facebook group a day before the exam. She never missed any class, had great handwriting and prepared great notes.
So basically, toppers , prepare for the exams way before most of us even begin. They are kind, selfless and are ready to help anyone who is unable to cope up.
Ultimately, every student has his unique way of studying.
There are a number of things that distinguish IIT Kharagpur from other IITs. My answer entails such attributes only.
- Movies at subsidized rates: There are only 2 cinemas in the whole of Kharagpur, the better one obviously being inside the campus. As a result, many district people come and the fee is INR 100/- semester irrespective of how many movies you watch. This crazy deal attracts many.
- Fastest and unlimited DC++: This is a software that allows sharing of files over LAN. This amazing software makes it possible for you to download a file faster than copying it from someone. A variety of things can be downloaded like books, question papers, software, games, movies, TV Series, etc. There are no download limits too unlike some other IITs.
- Illumination: This is a unique phenomenon one can witness in IIT KGP during Diwali. Each of the 20 hostels participates in a competition wherein the students of that hostel have to portray a scene/message using Diyas. Rangoli was also made in this competition.
- Bond with seniors: IIT KGP has a harmonious ambiance and seniors are extremely friendly and approachable. There is this trend wherein seniors write to their juniors about how they feel, and any advice on scrapbooks, chart sheets, etc.
- Night routine: The students have crazy sleeping habits with some of them only sleeping for an hour or two at around 7 am only to wake up at 8:5O to rush to classes.
- Mess Food. The food, especially North Indian food is decent and not like that served in IIT MG or IITM. The quality of the food has seen a steady improvement with a 4 meal plan per day. The mess serves Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks, and Dinner.
- Canteen: IIT KGP has 20 hostels (14 boys, 6 girls) and every hostel has its own canteen which runs from 3-4 AM every day. Some halls even serve their own specialty.
- College Fests: A number of cultural and technical fests are held at IIT KGP. Spring Fest is the Cultural Fest of IIT Kharagpur which is the biggest festival in eastern India whereas Kshitij is the Technical Fest of IIT Kharagpur, Asia’s Largest Technological-Management Fest.
- Eateries: Inside IIT KGP you can find Subway, CCD, Rooster, and Baskin Robbins offering food at affordable prices whereas outside you can find Dominos Pizza and a restaurant Flavors.
Life at IIT KGP is filled with fun and exciting activities.
One of my friends had the absolute delight to appear for the PGDBA interview conducted by a multifaceted panel. He shared his interview experience which might help you a bit.
Before the interview began, he was taken for a Verification Round wherein, every detail of academics scores or other profile-related information was cross-checked on the IIMs format. Once they received an IIM-verified document they were escorted to the interview venue.
The interview room had 3 panels; one from each institute obviously.
They asked for his brief introduction first. On hearing about his interest in Data Analytics, panelists probed him further with questions like
- What is Data Analytics
- Difference between analytics and analysis
- Contemporary Data analytics and ML
They further asked him why he chose Analytics. He told them that the increasing demand for the same in Europe and China made him realize how much India lacks in this aspect and thus he wanted to invest his efforts in Data Analytics.
Next, he was tested on his knowledge of Statistics and Mathematics with questions like
- Difference between mean, mode, Media
- Skewness
- Relationship of mean, mode, and median in a positive Skew graph
- Hypothesis Testing
- What is Anova
The next panelist took the reins and gave him a problem from SPC quality control. He asked him how do you know that his process in electric bulb making is as per customer Norma and is statistically controlled. My friend was able to answer most of the questions confidently and even solved this problem through charts.
Lastly, he was asked about his extracurricular activities and hobbies. The discussion ended with him asking about GST and the difference between GST and previous tax. Even though he gave a common answer, he managed to convert the interview.
ISI Kolkata is the best option for MSc in Maths, followed by IISc. IIT KGP is reputed in the technology domain, but for core science subjects, it’s not a good option. If you are interested to pursue pure Mathematics, choosing ISI is the best option among these. It specializes in the field. You will get better career opportunities and exposure in the field.
