How is quality engineering in IIT Kharagpur?
There is a Quality Engineering Design and Manufacturing or QEDM program offered at IIT Kharagpur. Some highlights of the course are
- This program is a 5-year dual degree course
- It is flexible and offers a plethora of choices to choose from
- Based on your CGPA, you are allotted a vertical at the end of the first year. This can be either Mechanical Engineering or Industrial Electronics.
- The batch strength is very low in comparison to other core branches
- This course gives you the opportunity to choose a branch of your choice which is hardly possible after clearing JEE.
If you are concerned about placements, let me tell you that placements depend more on the student's performance than the particular branch. One of my friends told me that the entire batch got placed on the first day itself with many bagging core packages.
Is IIT Kharagpur good for CS or any other branch?
Although Kanpur, Bombay, and Kharagpur three are excellent Engineering institutes, it's IIT Kharagpur that steals the show with NIRF ranking of 5.
The director of IIT Kharagpur itself is the ex-HOD of the CS department and thus cares much about the department. Most of my friends and seniors from the CS department are in awe of the experience they had in their branch at IIT KGP.
As far as the other branches are concerned, IIT KGP provides a versatile list of relevant courses such as Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering that have excellent placement statistics and high cutoffs.
Even the integrated MSc in Economics has gained much popularity among IITians. The Mining department of IIT Kharagpur ranks 37th whereas other departments to have decent ranks globally.
What are some great subjects to opt as additional subjects in IIT Kharagpur?
Selecting the right additional subject for you depends on your interests and career goals. It is advisable to speak to an academic advisor at IIT Kharagpur to determine which additional subject would be the best fit for you. You can also seek the course structure of the respective engineering stream on the official website of IIT KGP. Analyze the course that intrigues you the most and check their availability and plan accordingly. At IT Kharagpur, some popular additional subjects especially for CSE are as follows include
- Algorithms and Algorithms Laboratory
- Databases
- Computer Architecture
- Compilers

These courses are not restricted to CS students only and can be pursued by anyone who is interested in programming in general.
Which laptop is required for an IIT Kharagpur mechanical dual degree student?
Every Mechanical Engineering student requires high-speed, smooth, and multipurpose laptops to tackle the complications in the course. Your laptop should be efficient enough to do high-speed work and fulfill all requirements since a major part of your study is based on PDFs and online assignments. You require systems that can handle heavy project loads in programs designed for 3D environments and video rendering.
- Processor: Applications required are basically CPU exhaustive. They have to load huge databases to set up the workstation, and a light processor will make you wait a lot. More precisely, the best choice is i5-6300HQ/i7-6500U. If you are looking for a high-end CPU, go for 7-6700HQ or even i7-6820HK.
- RAM: A high-end processor is useless unless the memory is not sufficient. A high RAM is needed to perform everyday tasks, and if your memory is low, your processor won’t perform as well as it could. A minimum of 8 GB RAM is recommended and the most ideal is 16 GB.
- GPU: Operating heavy programs require excellent speed and resolution. Especially programs like MATLAB and CAD are used for 3D environments and video rendering, and a normal laptop will not be sufficient. Thus you should be choosing from Nvidia GTX 960M, 1050, and 1050 ti.
- Storage: The ideal storage I would recommend should be around 1Tb hdd. SSD is another option but not budget-friendly.
While one can compromise on storage, a Mechanical Engineer’s laptop is expected to have excellent memory, CPU, and graphics that will run heavy programs smoothly.
Which is better, IIT Kharagpur aerospace or IIT Dharwad CSE?
The choice of both branch and institute depends a lot on factors like your career prospects and areas of interest. However, since you haven't decided on a branch yet, I will assume you aren't yet sure of a branch and are open to exploring more branches. Don't worry, as most students clearing JEE Advanced face a similar situation. Personally, I will recommend you to go for IIT KGP over ISM Dhanbad because of 2 strong reasons
IIT KGP gives you the chance to explore and identify your area of interest. Even if you go for coding and later realize you don't like it, you can always go for non-core jobs that are in abundance at IIT KGP. But in the case of Dhanbad, you will have to stick to coding irrespective of your career inclinations. This is a major factor as it is your passion that determines your success rate.
IIT KGP has a more diverse group of individuals that are literal geniuses. Even if you are an above-average student you will face tough competition and thus will always strive to excel and grow. Dhanbad has an average-quality peer group and thus your growth might be restricted there.
I can only guide you to make a good decision, the final authority lies with you.

Is that true that Electrical Department at IIT Kharagpur is very difficult for Phd student?
A Ph.D. student at IIT Kharagpur experiences another side of life at IIT that is way different from the classroom life of a student. You get to use extremely expensive, sophisticated, and fancy lab equipment under the guidance of learned professors who are experts. You can access expensive software and computational equipment free of cost.
Usually, the Ph.D. coursework training is very interesting like any other institute. The distinguishing feature is the exceptionally good faculty members you get to work under. They are quite approachable and guide you throughout in such a way that you are ready to face the challenges of the field in real life.
Comprehensive vivas are extremely tiring and one could get interviewed for hours on end until the DSC committee is satisfied. But the bright side is that the faculty is always approachable and becomes your role model as you pave your way through your thesis. The only thing you require is relentless efforts to score the best and satisfy your faculty advisor.
Which is better: IT at IIIT Allahabad or Biotechnology at IIT Kharagpur? (Considering no special inclination)?

- Irrespective of the branch you choose, you will get similar exposure and campus life as everyone else.
- You can easily crack noncore companies offering excellent packages given that you have a good CGPA
- The extensive alumni pool comes to your rescue at some point in your life.
- It is specifically a good choice for those who aren’t inclined towards a specific branch as they can explore various fields and get maximum opportunities.
- The IIT tag is enough for a brand name that will help you outside the country for higher education
- People consider you geniuses just after knowing about your IIT background and you are expected to excel everywhere
- It’s not an overstatement to say that IIT has the best peer group among other Engineering colleges.
- There is a certain type of bias that makes IITs a much-preferred candidate for the best job profiles.
- Lastly, the Biotech department at IIT has excellent professors, great research opportunities and a few foreign internships offers as well.
