Question 1

Why is IIT Kharagpur Electrical Engineering department so deadly? How do they differ from others' IIT Electrical Department?

Accepted Answer

My brother had offers from IITs to choose any branch except CSE and chose Electrical Engineering in IIT KGP. To date, he does not regret his decision. There are ups and downs in every Institute; it just takes time to adapt yourself to such situations.

It is true that some professors overdo it and push you to the extreme, but if you look at this in a positive manner, it’s their pushing that eventually helps you succeed. There are many seniors who might make fun of your tiny efforts in the labs but trust me, today when they will look back, they will surely be regretting the time they wasted watching movies or series.

My brother told me that Electrical Engineering gave him so many friends and experiences that make him yearn for college life today. The labs are old-fashioned and lack much activity in contrast to a SigNet lab/ Power Systems lab.

Curriculum: The primary aim of the course curriculum offered in Electrical Engineering at IIT KGP is to impart to students tools and skills that will make it possible for them to excel in departments such as Electronics, Communication, Computers, Aerospace, and Energy.
Job prospects: An important point to note is that Electrical Engineering does not prepare you for a job but for higher education in the respective areas. Many people from the department pursue M.S. in Aerospace and Material Sciences.
Faculty: While many may not agree, the faculty is excellent except for a few. The cream faculty include Prof. D Das, Prof TKB, Prof S Patra, and Prof S Chattopadhyay among others. Interacting with them might change your opinion regarding the IIT KGP faculty.
Research: The research is obviously not at par with that conducted in CS or EC, but it surely does justice to the department itself.

I think it’s high time people clear misconceptions about Electrical Engineering and develop a positive opinion about it. We should stop running after jobs and companies and in turn let companies seek us.

Question 2

How is the MSc in economics in IIT Kharagpur?

Accepted Answer

The Economics branch is slowly becoming one of the best branches of IIT Kharagpur. Integrated M.Sc. (5 years) in Economics opens with JEE rank 3615 and closes at 5439 as per JoSAA 2022. However, it’s not necessary to evaluate a course on the basis of its opening and closing rank because you can get your branch changed on the basis of your performance in the first year.

A student has to obtain around 8.73 CGPA in order to get their branch changed to Economics. You will have to work very hard to get a high CGPA for branch change.

Curriculum: I have entailed some topics covered over the semesters. For a detailed list, you can visit the official website.

Indian Economy
Public Finance and Policy
Regression and Time Series Model
Economics of Growth
Applied Economics
Banking Theory and Practice

You can easily go for Finance and Consulting jobs provided that you study well during these 5 years. The coursework of this department is always industry relevant to cope up with recent trends.

Question 3

What are the tuition fee and hostel fee for 1 year for CSE at IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur and IIT Kanpur?

Accepted Answer

The semester-wise hostel and tuition fees for 1 year at CSE at IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, and IIT Kanpur have been tabulated below

Institute	Tuition Fee	Hostel Fee	Total Fee
IIT Bombay	INR 1,19,750	INR 13000	INR 9,50,000
IIT Delhi	INR 1,12,142	INR 12,175	INR 1,84,536
IIT Kharagpur	INR 1,48,700	INR 25,100	INR 10,00,000

Question 4

What are the best branches at IIT Kharagpur?

Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, the best branches at IIT Kharagpur are considered to be CSE and ME. The choice of a branch depends on many factors and is mostly a matter of personal preference rather than the demand of the branch. Irrespective of the branch you join, IIT provides the following to any IIT student

Infrastructure
Academic environment
Course-structure
Choice of subjects
Geniuses in the form of peers

All these things that groom are given to an IITian irrespective of his branch and makes him worthy either of employment to any industry or a good candidate for higher studies in top foreign universities. This is mainly because of the IIT tag.

There are many instances where students from Agricultural & Food Engineering (the least demanded branch) were able to get admission to Robotics’ at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), or the MS program of the University of Rochester, New York to study Computational Linguistics.

Ultimately it’s not your branch that determines your worth but

Your academic performance
Knowledge and skills gained through productive activities done by faculty and peers
Communication skills developed during your time at IIT.

These are much more important and come before your branch preference.

Question 5

What is the scope of a 5-year integrated Economics course from IIT Kharagpur?

Accepted Answer

The integrated economics Course from IIT Kharagpur has a wide scope. This course comes under the umbrella of the humanities and social science department. Some of the many prospects offered by this course are

Higher studies: A student who is inclined towards higher studies can opt for Masters in Economics from any prestigious college in India and abroad and can even get a PhD degree provided that he has sufficient knowledge of economics, a stable GPA and some excellent publications.
Government jobs: The scope of the score spreads to the government sector as well with jobs like RBI, Indian economic service or civil services that help you serve your country. The best part about these jobs is that you can also apply for study leave and pursue higher studies on official holidays.
Software developer: Unlike the general misconception that only CS, E,C, EE students can become software developers, this course too can help you become one. While it is true that the top companies like Google and Microsoft won’t let you sit for placements, you can become a software developer for average banks. Later, you can target technical giants that don’t judge employees on the basis of the branch.
MBA: This is a very common combination. Many economic students target IIMs or other business schools to pursue MBA. Moreover, with a non-engineering background, you can always have an upper hand in B-school admissions.
Data Analyst/Scientist: This is the most common job profile of IIT Kharagpur students who have done an economics majors. Moreover, with the increased demand for AI and machine learning, this has become one of the most appealing fields today.
Finance: The integrated economy course at IIT Kharagpur has many subjects related to finance and mathematics. This makes the student suitable for finance roles and you are likely to become a quantitative analyst.
Consulting/operations: Consulting and Operation roles are available to random students, irrespective of their branch.

The best part about the economics degree is that you have a lot of free time at your hand and can explore other fields, unlike engineering students who are always busy with their coursework. Moreover, if you’re not sure about any particular branch, then Economics can definitely be a good choice.

Question 6

Which is better - metallurgy at IIT Kharagpur or electrical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar?

Accepted Answer

As a Metallurgy student at IIT KGP, I consider this a better option in comparison to Electrical at IIT Bhubaneswar. IIT Kharagpur is an older IIT. It offers more networking opportunities.

If you do not have any particular branch of interest, you should opt for IIT Kharagpur. As a student of metallurgy at IIT KGP, you can put in some effort to learn coding and gain knowledge of trending fields like AI, Machine Learning, etc.

This will enhance your employment chances and open doors for you in the IT industry. The stronger alumni network and industry connections of IIT Kharagpur will help you during placements.

Here are some factors to compare IIT KGP and IIT Bhubaneswar-

Parameters	Metallurgy at IIT Kharagpur	Electrical at IIT Bhubaneswar
Course Fee	INR 9.39 lakhs	INR 10.34 lakhs
Highest CTC (2023)	INR 18 LPA	INR 17 LPA
Average CTC (2023)	INR 9 LPA	INR 13 LPA
Recruiting Companies for 2023	Tata Steel, American Express, Capital One, EXL Services, etc.	Bosch, TCS, Philips, Havells, etc.

Electrical engineering involves a lot of Mathematics along with Physics which makes it difficult. Metallurgy on the other hand, uses Physics and Chemistry. Thus, Metallurgy is comparatively easier. This will help if you wish to learn coding on the side.

Based on all these factors, I would suggest you choose Metallurgy at IIT Kharagpur.

Question 7

Which dual course is better, IIT Kharagpur’s manufacturing science and engineering or IIT Bhubaneswar mechanical engineering?

Accepted Answer
