- Being an older IIT, IIT KGP has a much broader alumni base than Roorkee which in turn proves to be useful for higher education.
- In case you lose interest in Core geology you are always open to sitting for non-core placements which are in abundance at IIT KGP because of the alumni network.

How are hostel rooms allotted at IIT Kharagpur?

Can any one enlighten me regarding the MS(by research) program at IIT Kharagpur?
While many confuse MTech and MS as similar, both programs have extremely different perspectives. Hence their worth and demand cannot be rightly compared.
The two major points of difference are that
- MTech has a fixed duration of 2 years whereas MS has no fixed duration and is completed whenever your professor decides.
- MTech is a good option for those looking for high packages whereas MS is for the ones passionate about research.
MS is usually completed once all your research work comes to an end in addition to the first year's coursework. Most people opt for PhDs from top foreign universities. Admission to such universities becomes easy if you have some valuable publications under your name.
Job prospects: Once you have completed your Ph.D. from a reputed university, you can enter teaching professors in top universities. Another option is the R and D section of some elite companies of the world. So we can safely conclude that both MTech and MS have their own individual benefits.

Which is better IIT Guwahati CSE or IIT Delhi EE or IIT KGP CSE 5yrs?
In my opinion, an IIT KGP CSE dual degree is a better option than IIT Guwahati CSE. Here’s why
- You get an additional degree in just one or two years
- You don’t have to sit for another entrance exam like GATE
- Companies that open profiles for BTech also open the same profiles for Dual Degree students.
IIT Guwahati is also a good option for CSE. However, one should opt for IIT Delhi EE only if
You are confident that one will be able to change branch within a year. This is because you will end up studying CS courses with external coaching.
To secure a job, the best options are CSE or MBA. For MBA, your branch does not really matter, only your institute does.
What is criteria for taking minor at IIT Kharagpur?
Applying for a minor is possible only at the beginning of the 3rd year autumn semester provided that your CGPA is 7.5+. But I suggest you start taking courses related to your minor from the 2nd year autumn semester itself.
- Make sure your CGPA is 8+ by the end of each semester, else your minor will be canceled.
- On the basis of the requirements given in the minor curriculum list, make a good choice of courses.
- You can change your departmental elective by approaching your faculty advisor for the same. He/she will login to his/her ERP and add the desired subject to your list.
- One needs to take at least additional 3 or 4 courses to earn a minor in another department.
- You are required to maintain your ACGPA (additional CGPA) as well as CGPA (additional SGPA) 6+ once you have registered for minors.
Plan your semesters in such a way that you have available slots for that specific subject.

So you eventually had to resort to the canteen within the campus to satisfy your South Indian cravings.
