Course Curriculum Overview :

I had JEE MAIN rank 17k and JEE ADVANCED Rank 9k. So, I could have got some good NITs but choosing IIT Kharagpur was the best idea for my case since it has a much better peer group and coding culture. The faculty is awesome here the student to faculty ratio is 1:180 in first year but it would eventually decrease in subsequent years. The faculty is world class in matters of knowledge and of course they have their PHDs in terms of degree. Even out teaching assistants are PHD scholars.

Class Size : 94Course Fees : INR 125000 per year

Internships Opportunities :

One can have internship in two ways either through CDC or through other means like getting internship from outside campus. There is always a criteria for internship that is a 7.5+ CGPA or some skill that is important but I cannot give 100% accurate details as I am a fresher.

Placement Experience :

I am just a fresher and placement is a matter of third year. I don't have the accurate information but it is undertaken by CDC of campus and they have all the know how to make some students place comms and conduct the process. As per my plan, I plan to pursue my studies further and become an expert in this field to land myself a decent package and learn coding just in case. However, everyone gets placed in our college (almost)

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

The fees is waived for a student if they belong to economically weaker sections of society or if there is a family problem in a student's family and the amount waived is a matter of administration hence I cannot provide a sure answer on it and of course they have lower fees for reserved categories. Fortunately, I don't have a situation wherein I require a fee waiver and also I am not eligible for the same. Also, money is not a matter of a student and IIT does not ever bother a student for it. So, pardon my lack of interest and knowledge for the question.

Campus Life :

Here at IIT we have 2 main fest, that is spring fest and Kshitij. There are alot of societies like Buisness Club, 180 DC, The Scholar's Avenue, SF, Kshitij, Kodein, Computer Graphics Society, MASK, Technology Rap Society and so on. You name an activity there is a society. On the sports front we have indoor court for badminton and state of the art facility for all other sports. There is also a squash court, tennis court, volley ball court, Basket ball court, football ground and cricket ground. There is also a Atheletics ground and a swimming pool. I hope I have mentioned everything. We have a very big library and don't worry about books there is more than anybody could ever need.

Hostel Facilities :

Number of students in a room can be almost three and atleast one. There are various hostels and each have a different menu. We have food that can help in accomodating each every student of varying backgrounds. As for registration everything is taken care by administration.

Hostel Fee : INR 10000 per year

Admission :

The admission is through JEE ADVANCED exam and you have to be the nation's top 1.4% approximately to get into this institution. I have no reservation benefits. I am not sure of the application fees but everything is available on nta and jee advanced website. Only scope for improvement is removal of reservations.

Review of Maulana Kalam Azad University of Technology, WB written by current students

Placement Experience:

From 3rd year students are eligible for campus placement. Companies including Infosys, TCS, Wipro, etc. have visited here with an average of 6 lakhs per annum offered. The highest package was 31 lakh from Amazon. Almost everyone gets placement here but a very low package. I plan to get an off-campus placement after getting the degree.

Good Placements

Placement Experience:

We become eligible from the later part of the third year to sit for the placements as the companies arrive then. Mainly placements are dependent on service-based companies like TCS, CTS, Wipro e.t.c. who mass recruits a whole lot of students with standard 3.5 to 4 LPA packages. Product-based companies like Oracle, Amazon, and trilogy too visited the campus. Oracle recruited a few of the candidates, Amazon too but nobody could clear the trilogy's OA rounds. Oracle offered a package of 15lpa and Amazon around 22 LPA. But a lot of students applied off campus and the highest placement off campus was 72 LPA in Google. The placement percentage is nearly 100% which is mainly due to the fact of service-based companies. I too am interested in IT jobs so am preparing for the same.

Seeing stcet again through my eyes

Placement Experience:

Students from the 4th-year 7th semester onwards become eligible for all sorts of campus recruitments. Cognizant technology solutions are the principal recruiter. Other companies which used to come during this time include Infosys, Odesha technologies, itc infotech, and others. All these companies generally take many students from our campus. During our time around 88% of students got selected from our batch. Out of which many students got double job offers from cognizant and Infosys. Some got job offers in sonodyne, Vodafone, and other companies. The highest package was offered by cognizant which was about 6 lakhs per annum. An average package of 3.5 lakhs per annum was offered by Infosys followed by itc infotech which offered roughly 4 lakhs per annum. After getting the degree I will pursue Ms maybe or maybe I can opt for MBA too. Also, I can sit for ies exam. Let's see what happens.
