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.
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.
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.

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.
I would any day recommend you to join IIT Kharagpur as it is the oldest IIT and well established today. Here are some strong points that might convince you to join IIT Kharagpur:
Except for CS and ECE, all the other branches get similar treatments during the open to all placements of IIT KGP.
Firstly, it’s important to note that IIT Kharagpur does not offer a bachelor's course in Economics, but rather an integrated MSc course. Indeed, the scope of economics is increasing day by day owing to its high demand in the corporate sector.
After completing a Bachelor's degree in Economics from IIT Kharagpur, there are a variety of career opportunities available to you. Some popular choices include:
Additionally, Economic students tend to have a lot of free time and thus can utilize the same in pursuing a micro or minor course in other departments like CSE or Mathematics. This is helpful only if they are willing to get Finance and Analytics jobs. They can also prepare for exams like CFA which have numerous job prospects.
I have seen a lot of North Indians in a dilemma while choosing IIT Kharagpur mainly because of the food and culture. They are under the impression that being situated in Bengal, it is dominated by Bengalis only. In reality, you will find people from every corner of the country and a rich blend of cultures at IIT KGP.
In fact, the lush greenery is a surprise for North Indians as it’s a luxury for them. As far as the food is concerned, the taste is far better than that of North Indian colleges. The students decide on the menu on their own thus satisfying the taste buds of everyone.
IIT Kharagpur is the best decision one can make irrespective of which part of India you belong to. You get to experience college life like no other and also get to pursue the branch of your choice.
There is no fixed method that can guarantee a 9+ CGPA in IIT Kharagpur. But one can talk to their seniors or toppers and get a little insight into the methods adopted by them to ace exams. My sister recently graduated from IIT KGP with a 9.7 CGPA and shared the simple tips that helped her sail through the tough college years
These simple pointers will help you a long way to secure an excellent CGPA.
You should have a plausible reason justifying your guide change during your Ph.D. at IIT Kharagpur. One such reason can be very slow progress or laid back attitude. There might be any other compatible issues as well that might hinder your progress in getting the required training for a Ph.D. degree.
Once you are certain that your reason is one that needs to be addressed, present your stance to your Head of the Department, who will call a meeting of your doctoral scrutiny committee (DSC). You will be asked to present the case in front of the DSC members and your guide who has to agree to release you from his guidance. Once you have been released, another faculty member of the same department should volunteer to take you under his umbrella.
Concludingly, there are 3 major requisites for Ph.D. guide change
These may look like simple steps but sometimes can be very difficult and challenging.
Most MTech and Ph.D. female students are assigned the following hostels
All these hostels are in close proximity to the main building and entrance thus making it easy for female students to commute to and fro from the hostel.
A typical room in these halls of residence consists of proper bedding, a table, a chair, and a LAN port. Every hostel has its own mess faculty that works under the supervision of the hall management committee or private contractor. The best part is the flexible environment posing no restrictions on girls and no discrimination between boys and girls.
IIT Kharagpur offers the best hostel life with a splash of greenery, tranquility, and a serene environment.
