The verdict

Strong fit

If you have a relevant B.Tech and a solid GATE score, this is a no-brainer. You get the IIT Kharagpur brand, a cutting-edge AI/ML curriculum, 90% placement rates with average packages touching ₹20 LPA, and all of this for a fee that's lower than a single semester at most private colleges. The catch? You need to survive the academic rigour — but that's what makes the payoff sweet.
