How is IIT Kharagpur?

IIT Kharagpur is a premier engineering and technology institute in India, being one of the oldest and most reputed institutes of technology in the country. It is well known for its high-quality education, research, and innovation. The institute boasts of a strong academic curriculum, excellent faculty, and a diverse student body. Its Central Library speaks highly of its top notch infrastructure.

However, some of its labs are in bad condition. The development at IIT Kharagpur is very slow with only one market within the campus. 

• Food is delivered on campus through Zomato and Swiggy.
• Shopping can be done by traveling to Kolkata. For urgent needs one can visit either Gole Bazar or Big Bazaar or Reliance Trends situated outside the campus.
• For entertainment, Bollywood/Bengali movies are played inside the campus in Netaji Auditorium on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Apart from it, one movie hall (Bombay Cineplex) is also situated near Big Bazar/Jagannath Mandir.
• IIT KGP has zero transport facilities and the most difficult part is commuting from one place to another. The auto rickshaws are extremely old and create air pollution. Students cannot really travel after 8-9 pm.
• The mess food needs special attention because the quality of food served is very substandard. It’s unhygienic and unhealthy compared to the food served at other IITs.

The only positive aspects of IIT KGP are its technical and cultural fests like Springfest that is East India’s biggest fest. Apart from this, IIT KGP definitely needs to focus on outside development.
