Remarks
The admission was done through GATE exam. Some IIT like IIT Kanpur had in person interview. There was a counselling process based on which it was allocated based on GATE exam rank. I had a gate rank of 144 in the year 2009 and I got the MTECH in VLSI in IIT Kharagpur,
Course Curriculum Overview
ECE department is one of best in the IIT Kharagpur with very esteemed faculties. Also, you will have access to takshasheela VLSI labs for your second year MTECH projects if you want. You will also be take many of Computer Science department courses if you want. Also, the Library is very big and has huge books collections.
Placement Experience
IIT KGP has one of best placement rate in the country, specially for MTECH students. I got places in INTEL technology India private limited at first chance from the campus placement and it was very good experience overall. Same holds true for other specialty too.
Fees and Financial Aid
Fees was quite moderate during my time of 2009-2011 MTECH VLSI courses. MTECH students also used to get good amount of scholarship which helps to take care of most of the academic and hostel costs. You can also apply for some other scholarships like sports etc if you want.
Campus Life
Being little far from main city of Kharagpur and being a huge campus , life was quite good in the campus of IIT KGP. My hostel was MMM which was better than most of the hostels. Classrooms are little old for the ECE department but VLSI lab where I did my MTECH project was top of the class.
Hostel Facilities
My hostel MMM had multiple floors and rooms were much better and newer than than older hostel, there was 1 bathroom shared between 2 room or 4 people at the max. But the food overall was quite average except the special occasions like Diwali where special menu would be there like chicken and sweets.
