The Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur or IIT KGP) is an autonomous engineering, technology and management oriented institute of higher education established by the government of India in 1951. The first of the IITs to be established, it is recognised as an Institute of National Importance by the government of India.


IIT Kharagpur has been ranked the best engineering college by Outlook magazine in 2009 and 2010. IIT Kharagpur has been ranked amongst the top engineering colleges in India by education surveys such as India Today, Hindustan Times, OutLook and DataQuest.

The institute was established to train scientists and engineers after India attained independence in 1947. It shares its organisational structure and undergraduate admission process with sister IITs. The students and alumni of IIT Kharagpur are informally referred to as KGPians.

Here in IIT kharagpur there is a way for each of your extra academic talents to grow whether you talk about social and cultural activities or you talk about various sports. Professors are pretty nice which are ready to help you with your course content as well as in getting deep knowledge of other areas. Infrastructure is great with a lot more constructions still going. There are demerits too. No city life. Outside campus far below the average in terms of development. The problem of eating the Godly mess food(thank God there canteens in the campus). In short nice place to stretch your wings and take a ride into the world.
