Recommends this college
Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur is one of the finest engineering institutions in India. My four years of college here have been a great experience for me as they are full of academic and extracurricular activities that fulfill college life. The environment of IIT KGP is great in all respects either in hostels or campus or teaching. Everything is perfectly balanced.

Campus Facilities: The campus is very large and greenish. There is a Nalanda Complex with a capacity of over 15000 students simultaneously, where all the major classes are operated while few classes happen in the department only. Every department has its laboratories. All the sports facilities are available including a swimming pool, gym, sports complex, playgrounds, athletics tracks, stadiums, and many more. College culture is very good and helps for the self-development of a student and also helps to interact with others.
Campus Life: Overall it's a good experience and the college environment is also pretty good. One thing that feel is a little problematic here is the connectivity with the other cities as it is on the remote side of the city so here outside campus are not many things to do.
Faculty: Faculty to student ratio is around 15:1 maybe less. Faculties are very friendly and always ready to take any input from the students regarding the course. There are 2 exams per semester one is the mid-semester exam and the other is the end-semester exam, other than this there are fa ew tests per subject in each semester.
Placements: Internship opportunities here are good enough to help you to get at least one internship per student but if by any chance you don't get an internship through college then you can apply it for off campus. Similarly, placements are also very good and lots of students are placed with very high to pretty decent salaries this year. The average salary is around 17 lpa which reflects the excellent performance of students availing for placements.
Salary Package: 16 - 18 Lakhs
Start Up Incubator: Yes IIT Kharagpur has its incubator named Entrepreneurship Cell (E- Cell) which helps a lot of the students aiming for startups. Our college alumni also help startups by funding them if they find it useful as well as the college has other programs which help emerging startups
Safety Measures: Anti-Ragging Cell, Anti-Drugs Cell, Women Safety Cell, Other
