Placement Experience:
Placements are good. Top companies like Apple, Microsoft and Google do offer placements and PPOs to students. Students are eligible for placements in their final year. Highest offers go up to as high as Rs. 2 Cr or 4 Cr. About 750+ offers including PPOs were made during first few days of the start of the placement season this year in IIT Kharagpur. Overall placement percentage as been above 85%. Profiles of placements vary, including a good mix of both core companies and tech companies. I intend to pursue MS in Economics or MBA, depending on future interests.

- Number of Societies/clubs: Name an interest, there is a society for it. There is full freedom to explore your passions.
Dislikes

Placement Experience:
Students become eligile for placements in their final year. That is the second to last semister. The placements of our college is pretty good. This year stats are out. According to Awaaz IIT Kgp, 1353 offers were given to 1277 students with the highest on campus placement being a whopping 1.69cr/yr package. There are no details of the overall average package, but details are out for branch wise packages. For Economics, the highest package was 50.7 lakhs/year with the average being 20.6 lakhs/year and median being 17.4 lakhs/year. I currntly have no future plans but I want to stay in India and work for my country.
