About IIT Kharagpur

IIT Kharagpur is considered one of the best engineering Colleges in India. It has the largest area of 2100+ acres comprising of 19 departments. As everyone knows that you have to clear JEE advanced and based on your rank you will get admission to the college. During the admission process or the josaa counselling, one has to fill the choices in the form according to their interests. And considering the choices filled by you as well as your rank, you will get the colleges. I had preferred choosing IIT Kharagpur because it is considered as one of the oldest and prestigious institutes in our country and also because I had heard that the educational environment here is the best among all IITs.

Most people try to get into courses like computer science, mathematics and computing, electronics and telecommunication, electrical. But you require a decent rank for these courses. If you fail to get a decent rank you may have to compromise with your dream branch. Though none of the branches is lower people decide on a decent branch and a lower branch according to the placements of that particular branch. Professors teaching at IIT Kharagpur are very well qualified, most of them had done PhD in their particular subjects. Though you won't get school feeding here. But many of the professors will encourage practical knowledge. The professors are very punctual and the curriculum also.

I don't have much idea about internships right now. But many good companies visit the college to offer internships. Also if you do good at your internship there are chances that you will be hired by the same company for the job.

I don't have much idea about placements right now but the placement ratio is good as per the articles published by the student's media body of the college. The highest package of the college can go to 1 crore but only one or two people get this package.

The fee structure is divided according to the economical conditions of various groups. You will have to take a tuition fee of 1 lacs per semester if your yearly family income is more than 5 lakh. For less than 5 lakh family income you will have to pay some 60000 per semester. Per family income less than 1 lakh the tuition fee per semester is zero. Other than the tuition fee you will have to pay 33000 to 35000 for other expenses like hostel rent, mess, Wi-Fi, Gymkhana, etc. There are various scholarships available for students having family income less than 5 lakh. Scholarships based on caste are also there. All the information related to scholarships and college is available on the site of IIT Kharagpur iitkgp.ac.in.

Kshitij and spring fest are the annual face of IIT Kharagpur. Kshitij is the techno management fest, Asia's largest techno management fest. Spring fest is a socio cultural fest. The central library of IIT Kharagpur is Asia's largest library. You will be highly encouraged for sports as well as extracurricular activities on the campus. There are many clubs and societies in the college and all of them are run by the students of IIT Kharagpur.

Living at the hostel is compulsory. In the first year, 3 people have to live in one room. It can later be changed to two people in one room or one person per room. But it's rare in the case of girls. I had not been to college yet that's why I didn't taste the food.
