IIT Kharagpur and its Mechanical Department

Mechanical Engineering is a very diverse branch. It opens the gateway for many opportunities in India and also in abroad. Also, the Faculty advisors and the head of the branch here in my college are cool and helpful professors. Faculty Student Ratio is very good. You will get 150 students per Professor. and there are Teaching Assistants also, they are very helpful too. Faculties here are researchers, they have a lot of knowledge about the subject. but they dont know how to give it to students properly, they teach using slides and it keeps on becoming boring and eventually, students find themselves sleeping. But some are very good and enthusiastic. class tests and quizzes keep happening. there are two major exams. the mid-semester exam and the end-semester exam. the two major exams are difficult but studying via professor's notes makes it easy.

From the 7th semester, students become eligible to sit for placement. A lot of tech companies like Mercedes, Rolls Royce, and Tata, making a lot of offers to the brilliant students studying here, The highest Package is 1.5Cr and the average package is 30,00,000. Around 70 - 75% of students get placed every year. I am planning to go for in-campus placement after the degree.
