IIT Kharagpur Reviews

The largest IIT in the country!! And obviously the greenest too!!

It's like a walk through the garden of life.Proud to be a part of such legacy.It is the meccah for engineering in India.Hope to see it among the likes of Massachusetts,Stanford and harvard in the field of research one day.Every engineer in the country should go on a hajj to kgp or his life is incomplete.Jai hind.
Dedicated to the service of the nation.The only IIT to have been established with the money of exchequer of this Republic. Want to keep writing about amazing experiences of mine in this beautiful paradise called kharagpur.A complete research oriented institute.
Batch of 2011-Btech in Biotechnology and Biochemical engineering.

The largest IIT of the lot and has such good placements. The best university in the state. It holds the largest techfest of Asia - Kshitij. There are students all over the world and has a very rich diversity in all aspects. The canteens are great and so are the hostel and halls. Worth paying a visit as an engineering student.

its has a gigantic campus ... the atmosphere is really well.. everyone is very supportive..

One of the best IIT in india,Many legends are passed out from IITkgp

Sprawling green campus with a lively environment...having excellent facilities of learning,living and enjoyment !!!

This is a great Institute.Name of this Institute is IIT(Indian Institute Technology). This is a renowned institute for Higher education of Indian Student.To take admission in this Institute,You have to Attend JEE Main(Joint Entrance Examination)and Next too JEE(Joint Entrance Examination) Advance. The cut off of this Institute is very high.You have to score 90 percentile in JEE Main then you have to attend the JEE Advance. It is a Government Institute. Government gives the education fees of every student. The students of this Institute were placed in Multinational Companies just like Google, Microsoft,Tata, Mahindra, Amazon, TCS, Samsung etc. At the end, I told that It's Great.

It is great feeling that I am writing a review for IIT Kharagpur, on Google, whose CEO Sundar Pichai is from the same University. The pride of our WB and India. Whenever people search for Google CEO they can see our IIT Kharagpur. And living in the same state and city gives more and more proudest feel.

The history of the IIT system dates back to 1946 when a committee was set up by Hon'ble Sir Jogendra Singh, Member of the Viceroy's Executive Council, Department of Education, Health and Agriculture to consider the setting up of Higher Technical Institutions for post war industrial development in India. The 22 member committee headed by Sri N.R.Sarkar, in its report, recommended the establishment of four Higher Technical Institutions in the Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern regions, possibly on the lines of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, with a number of secondary institutions affiliated to it. The report also urged the speedy establishment of all the four institutions with the ones in the East and the West to be started immediately. The committee also felt that such institutes would not only produce undergraduates but they should be engaged in research, producing research workers and technical teachers as well. The standard of the graduates should be at par with those from first class institutions abroad. They felt that the proportion of undergraduates and postgraduate students should be 2:1.

With the above recommendations of the Sarkar committee in view, the first Indian Institute of Technology was born in May 1950 in Hijli, Kharagpur, in the eastern part of India. Initially the IIT started functioning from 5, Esplanade East, Calcutta and very soon shifted to Hijli in Sept. 1950. The present name 'Indian Institute of Technology' was adopted before the formal inauguration of the Institute on August 18, 1951, by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. IIT Kharagpur started its journey in the old Hijli Detention Camp where some of our great freedom fighters toiled and sacrificed their lives for the independence of our country. The history of IIT Kharagpur is thus intimately linked with the history of the Hijli Detention Camp. This is possibly one of the very few Institutions all over the world which started life in a prison house.
There were 224 freshers and 42 teachers in August 1951 when the first session started. The class rooms, laboratories and the Administrative office wer ehoused in the historic building of the Hijli Detention Camp. The Institute started its academic programme with only ten Departments. On March, 1952, Pandit Nehru laid the foundation stone of the New Building.

The layout of the present campus and the design of our buildings were carried out by a host of engineers and architects under the guidance of an eminent Swiss architect Dr. Werner M. Moser. A large amount of financial help was available for procuring a number of machine tools from the ministry of industry and supply. The Institute Workshop was supposed to be one of the best in the country. The Institute was fortunate enough to have Sir J.C.Ghosh, an eminent Scientist as its first Director under whose able stewadship the Institute grew in its formative years. The first Board of Governors was constituted with Dr. B.C. Roy, as the chairman and Mr. N.R.Sarkar, Sir Jehangir J. Gandhi, Dr. Tarachand, Mr. K.R.K. Menon, Mr. T. Sivasankar, Dr. S.S. Bhatnagar, Mr. H. Kabir and Dr. J.C. Ghosh as memebers. Some eminent scholars from Europe had joined this Institute in its formative years and the first two of them were Prof. R.A. Kraus and Prof.H. Tischner, who was incidentally the first Head of Electronics and ECE Department.

On Sept. 15, 1956, the Parliament of India passed an act known as the Indian Institute of Technology(Kharagpur) Act declaring this Institute as an Institute of national importance. The Institute was also given the status of an autonomous University. From this modest start in 1950, IIT Kharagpur has been engaged in a steady process of development with about 18 academic departments, five centres of excellence. the vast tree-laden campus, spreading over 2100 acres has a self contained township of over 15,000 inhabitants. Currently we have about 550 faculty, 1700 employees and 9000 students on the campus.

Very huge college with 2100 acres of campus and has a separate Lane for cyclists

My experience is very good. But outside of iit our experience isn't good. If govt do something to improve those villages that will be very good
