IIT Kharagpur Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Placement of the college is decent. Students usually get placed by the 7th semester and they can also opt for internship after the 5th semester that is in the third year. The placement statistics are department dependent but allover placement is decent.

I have wanted to take this course since i gained an interest in genetics and such.I love learning about everything that defines human health and progress into diagnosis and cure. the course now is pretty relevant and has been taught from basics to get proper understanding. the curriculum is designed to make us ready for the real world jobs abd everything that is required for it the class tests are conducted once in two months are fairely easy.The mid semester exams asks for difficult questions related to your understanding and what is taught in class.The end semester 4exams are teh hardest and questions come from what is taught in the entire semester.

Actually I want to say that if u want to choose this branch then IIT Kharagpur don't choose.here some professors are so bad like they give low grade and give too much F grade in few subjects and teaching style is so bad.

While preparing for jee, I was a good in physics and chemistry subject. After qualifying the exam when I need to set my priorities , i consulted with various seniors and relatives of mine and decided to choose chemical engineering at IIT Kharagpur. One big misconception among everyone is that Chemical engineering involves chemistry only so it's a big lie. Chemistry is a different department in my college. Chemical engineering involves mostly physics and some maths and some chemistry. Subjects like fluid transfer ,heat transfer, thermodynamics, transform calculus , chemical reaction engineering, instrumentation engineering and many more involved a major physics part involving mathematics calculations so its not what people think. Chemistry is involved very less in chemical engineering. Some subjects are having syllabus which is very vast for getting completed in a semester so it should be regulated according to the time available as student has a limited time to complete syllabus for all subjects which sometimes create a burden on his head. Some digital methods used in foreign countries colleges can be adopted too like some small practical while teaching to make subject more interesting. In every semester we have midsem and endsem with a gap of around 2 months. Exams are a hectic period for everyone and are slightly difficult as competition is high as everyone have qualified a toughest exam of the country so you will not get a very easy paper.
