Remarks :

I applied for the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore but didn't get selected there. I didn't avail any quota for admission. For admission to PhD in IIT Kharagpur, I had to compulsorily qualify Gate exam and had to have a CGPA above 8 (since I applied for a direct PhD after B.Tech). The admission process was smooth. We were told to report to Kalidas auditorium where our documents were verified. After that, we were told to go to our allotted Department to confirm our admission.

Course Curriculum Overview :

I always dreamt of becoming a professor and thus I joined the PhD course. In our department, we have 20 faculty and about 400 students including Undergraduates, Postgraduates and Research scholars and thus a faculty: student ratio of about 1:20. All the faculties are PhD holders and the teaching method is a mixture of conventional and modern techniques. The exams are held timely and require an above par level of knowledge to pass.

Class Size : 50Course Fees : INR 65000 per year

Internships Opportunities :

There are a number of companies that offer internship opportunities to students with a decent stipend. The companies include Reddy Laboratories, TATA Steel, American Express etc. I have not applied for any Internships as of now.

Placement Experience :

The students are eligible for campus placements in the pre-final year of their course. A large number of companies visit our campus which includes Google, Microsoft, Samsung etc. The highest package offered was that of 1 crore while the average package is about 7-8 lakhs per annum. The placement is close to 100%. After getting a degree, I will sit for campus placements as well will apply offline to Academic Institutions.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

The cost to study vary across courses. For my course, the cost is about 65000 Rs per year. I get a stipend of 35000 per month. Apart from this, I also received full financial assistance for attending an International Conference in Poland.

Campus Life :

The annual fest is called the SPRING FEST while the tech fest is known by the name KSHITIJ. Both the fests are held in the Winters in the month of January. We have one of the largest Central Libraries where almost evry book and journal are available either online or offline. The classrooms have projectors for presentations. There is a lot of scope for sports and extracurricular activities on campus. Some of the groups run by students include PRAVAH (Hindi Dramatic Society), ENCORE (English Dramatic Society), Business Club (to harbour entrepreneurial activities) etc.

Hostel Facilities :

Our hostel room has decent facilities which include a table, fan, chair, light and a bed. The mess food is below par. The registration process for Hostel was smooth as we were already alloted a hostel room before our final admission. I rented a hotel room just outside the campus near Hijli Railway Station when I came for admission.

Hostel Fee : INR 25000 per year

IIT Kharagpur from the perspective of a PhD student.

Placement Experience:

In the UG courses, the placements start from the 6th semester, while for Ph.D. students, it is generally in their final year when they get eligible to appear for the placements. IIT Kharagpur has a very strong alumni network and generally, all the big shot companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Honeywell, Scheider, BCG, Barclays, and several PSUs visit for the placements. The average package is around 7-14 lakhs p.a. and the highest package of 1 crore is offered every year and almost 90-95% of students from the various programmes bags a placement. For Ph.D. students, generally, some core companies offer placements, while most of the students opt for becoming faculty in prestigious engineering colleges of the country. Although. after completing my curriculum, I will be joining a post-doctoral programme at a foreign university.

Admission:

For PhD admission, there will be initial shortlisting based on B. Tech and M. Tech marks. Then candidates will be called for the written test. Shortlisted candidates will be allowed to sit in an interview. The final selection is based on academic records, written test marks, and interview performances.

Over 90% of students from BTech get jobs. The company list and their intake are given every year in the Institute website. Salary reaches above 1 cr INR. About 70% of MTech got the job. Few PhD also get the job in the college placement drive.

College Information

Remarks:

First of all this college infrastructure is good enough.More focus should be laid on sports as well as on the provision of new equipments in all the laboratories. The political side is also be prevented. The campus is ragging free. Lift facilities are available.The college is decent but with more care and support it has the capability to achieve greater heights

Remarks:

Management sometimes becomes really poor we recently heard a lot of chaos about the fee hike especially M.Phil and PhD students do not get much benefit when it comes comparing with other universities in case of the monthly stipend they earn. As i have men
