Remarks

Largest IITin india with great labs and research facility. The agricultural department is bigger than the whole IIT Delhi itself. That gives an idea about the departments in our college. The only bad aspect is the closest city is Kolkata (225 km).

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Faculties are great. Most of them are IIT alumni and have completed their PhDs from universities like the University of California and other great universities. Exams are not that hard to pass if you really concentrate on the classes.

Class Size: 84Course Fees: INR 280000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Almost all the companies that come for placements visit for on-campus internships. The stipend is not that great but its maximum around 40 LPA and minimum can be around 12k pa. You can also apply for off-campus internships but its compulsory to do 2 on-campus internships.

Placement Experience

4.5

If you have a 4 yr course placements start from the end of 3rd year and for 5 yr at the end of 4th year. Highest package is around 2 crores per annum and the average packaged varies for different departments but it's around 25-30 LPA.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees are definitely too much a little less than 3 lacs per year. But the good thing is if your family income is less than 5 lac you get a 2/3rd of tution fees waiver and if its less than 1/3rd its completely waived off and for less than 9 lacs its 1/3rd waiver. And there are several scholarships based on your merit like means cum merit scholarship etc.

Campus Life

Campus life is awesome. It's covered over 2200 acres of lands. Fests and events make it an even more memorable place to be. Our library is one of the biggest libraries in Asia and it's filled with books from different genres. Sports and other curricular activities you have different societies clubs and cells and great stadiums to play in.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

You have a bed a cupboard and a study table some rooms have 2 occupancies some have 3. If you are MTech or PhD students you may also get 1 occupancy rooms. Food is okay somedays they make special dinner which is very hotel-like so its a good chance. Hostels are definitely very affordable.

Hostel Fee: INR 60 per year

Likes

Supportive Faculty - The professors are highly qualified, approachable and always willing to help students
Free wifi support - There are free wifi support for both student and faculty
Fee Structure - It is very affordable and low compared to other colleges in the region

Dislikes

Placement support is below average, and most studnets have to apply for off campus jobs independently, which is really pathetic in the era of ai where getting a job as a fresher is so difficult
There is no dedicated support or placment cell initiative to help studnets land meaningful summer internships or any kind of internships

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements starting from the 7th semester. For placement drives, we have to visit the main campus, Techno Main Salt Lake (TMSL). Since students from other Techno India campuses and branches also participate, the competition is extremely high. In the 2025–2026 academic year, fewer companies visited. Only two companies, Dronahost and WishCare, visited our specific campus directly. The remaining drives—mostly service-based companies like TCS and EY, along with a few startups—were conducted at the main campus. The remaining drives mostly service based companies like TCS, EY etc and quite a few startups has visited to main campus. The package they offered mostly in between 3.5lpa - 6 lpa. Furthermore the selection process of those startups is quite rigorous often consisting of upto 5 rounds of interview, two technical rounds with two technical interviews, and HR round My plans after getting the degree is either pursue an MBA or preparing for govt jobs

Campus life: Hype vs Truth

Likes

The discipline is followed very strictly.Also you have access to library which is good,teachers are helpful and no ragging policy which is strictly followed and has a decent environment.
Thery conduct seminars which encourages students.Many faculty members are knowledgeable experienced in their respective subjects and helpful willing to solve doubts beyond the classroom also.
The college has decent infrastucture including classrooms,labs and library .

Dislikes

While the curriculum is decent ,it lacks sufficeint practical implementation.More hands on projects,real world application and industry exposure would improve learning significantly.
Campus life can sometimes fell limited in terms of active student interaction.Opportunites for clubs,networking and collaborative activities could be improved.
The college comes under St tHomas School so the campus is not great it is compact and has a canteen.

Placement Experience:

I heard it from seniors that before lockdown it was pretty decent but after lockdown the company visits are not that much comapred to before lockdown.Cognizent, Accenture, Mindtree, PQ360 which is a startup company of our senior alumni etc. visits.

There are many fun events that happen in the college

Dislikes

The campus area is too small. The library is not good
The societies are fully controlled by students so huge partiality goes on.
Some of the teachers are mean and are not good.

Placement Experience:

From the 3rd year onwards , students become eligible for internships and stepping in 4th yr , students get eligible for campus placement. Techno provides decent campus placements according to your marks. Good marks also with skills get you better salary. Minimum 7.5 cgpa is mandatory to have you sit for campus placements. The lowest package is 3.4 LPA and highest vary but students also get 14LPA easily. Wipro, tcs ,cap ,gemini, amazon , ibm etc.

EXPLORING THE LEGACY OF IIT KHARAGPUR

Actually, I apply for IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, IIT Delhi, and IIT Kharagpur but I am getting IIT Kharagpur because of the JEE advanced score. I chose this college even though I am getting admitted to some other IITs like IIT Kanpur, IIT Patna, and many more because this IIT average salary is higher than other IITs also the academic curriculum is better than other available colleges. I am only applying for IITs therefore I am not getting rejection from any colleges. If I talking about the admission process then you all basically apply here by your JEE advance score. The cutoffs of the exams vary every year according to how many students appeared in the exam and their performance in the exam. Usually, the cutoff for general category students is under 90-100 marks out of 360. The cutoff for OBC and EWS students is under 80-85 marks out of 360. The cutoff for SC/ST and PWD students is under 40-50 marks out of 360....Read More
