My sister was a student at IIT Kharagpur and had a few suggestions that could be made to improve the academic situation of the Institute.

  • BS/EVS: Either the BS/EVS should be removed from the compulsory list of the course that should be taught in the first semester year. A student in his final year is already busy preparing for his internships and has no time for extra subjects. Moreover, the course is very demanding with everchanging professors and a vast curriculum.
  • Slide reading: The use of slides has resulted in the lack of touch of blackboard teaching. Students pay little attention to slides especially when these slides are played without any explanation. Slides are just meant for animations, statistics, pictorial diagrams, structures, and maybe examples. The entire syllabus should be taught over slides.
  • English Communication: There is little focus on English commutation between students and professors or even among peers.
  • Inequality of marks: Different TAs give different marks and thus students belonging to different groups suffer as a result. This means that if you belong to a group that has a rude TA then you will suffer while others belonging to a group with a lenient TA, will end up scoring more irrespective of their abilities.

If such changes are made then definitely the few loopholes in the academic efficiency of the Institute can be taken care of.
