It may not be the best of reviews but worth a read

Exam: State / National Entrance Exams
Placement: There’s limit scope for internships and placements in my field of study but there’s a lot of research going on abroad.
Faculty: Prof. Koeli Ghoshal (Math). Simply because she makes us visualize what the theorems and postulates actually mean. Also she makes us understand the physical significance of it. Like how is it used in real life. So math seems interesting.
College: It’s a really good platform for all students irrespective of their streams. IIT Kharagpur is second best rated institution of India and there’s no denying that as the results(interns, jobs and PPOs) are evident. It doesn’t just focus on academic growth of a student but also helps to enhance an individual’s overall personality. Society and hall culture specially contributes to this factor as they teach you how to work in group. It’s all in one package!
