Is it necessary to take a laptop to IIT Kharagpur?
No, it’s not necessary at all to bring a laptop for studies at IIT KGP. While it is true that most professors use PPTs and PDFs to teach, you can always access them on your mobile phone. Some subjects might require programs like PDS, and you can go to the digital library and use computers.
A laptop might help you a bit but not having one will definitely not affect your scores or academic performance. In fact, a laptop might even become a source of distraction and might involve you in gaming.
So rest assured and enjoy IIT KGP campus life rather than spending your time in front of the laptop screen.
Which is better for EE, IIT Roorkee or IIT KGP?
Both IIT Roorkee and IIT Kharagpur are well-renowned institutions for electrical engineering studies. It all depends on personal preferences and priorities. Some students may prefer the academic focus of IIT Roorkee, while others may prefer the research opportunities at IIT Kharagpur. Both institutes have equally good labs and research facilities. However, IIT KGP being the oldest has a slight advantage over IIT Roorkee.
- IIT KGP boasts a massive and beautiful campus
- It has numerous international collaborations
- 2/*7 wifi facility is available within the campus with an average speed of 7–9 Mbps.
- Every hostel room at IIT KGP has 3 LAN ports with 70–80 MBPS speed.
- DC++ is available at IIT KGP
- IIT KGP lets students explore their interests through a wide variety of clubs.
- IIT KGP brand name will make you employable in the international market.

All these points prove that IIT KGP is a better option than IIT Roorkee for EE.
Is IIIT Hyderabad CSE as good as IIT Kharagpur CSE?
CSE department of both IIT Kharagpur and IIT Hyderabad is top notch offering the best coursework and coding culture.
But here’s the thing about CSE, it consists only of coding. In case you later find out that you are not really interested in it, joining IIT Hyderabad might prove to be a wrong decision. On the other hand, IIT KGP has many branches to choose from and also has noncore companies for Finance companies visiting the campus. One can pursue their area of interest and does not have to stick to the branch he chose.
Another reason why people prefer IIT Kharagpur over IIT Hyderabad is the better peer group in terms of JEE Rank. This is because IIT KGP has a cutoff lower than IITH thus inviting only the best.
Thus, IIT KGP has a slight advantage over IITH as far as alumni network, peer quality, and variety of branches are concerned. IITH is a good option only if you are confident that you are interested in nothing but coding. Else IIT Kharagpur is always the better choice.

BITS Pilani CSE or IIT Roorkee Electrical or IIT Kharagpur MnC or IIT Bombay Civil. What should I opt for?
There is no right option as it all is a matter of preferences that varies from person to person. So the answer is generic and can be helpful for someone who hasn't yet decided on a branch. My preference order will go from the safest to the riskiest option.
- Safest option-IIT Bombay: Without any doubt, IIT Bombay is the safest option among the three. The brand value and tag are more than enough to remove any risks in your life. A majority of students chose IIT Bombay just for the tag and end up with Finance roles or go for MBA.
Pros
- The IIT Tag will help you get a higher salary and package than others
- You get more exposure to industries because of the locational advantage
Cons:
- Students who choose a branch for the IIT tag and not because of interest in it may end up regretting it later. This will affect your overall performance thus making you regret the decision.
- The second safest option-IIT Kharagpur MnC:
This branch is highly suitable for those interested in both CS and Mathematics. This option is safe in the sense that an average CGPA might get you a non-core job while a good CGPA then this branch has a high employment rate and will work in your favor. Its graduates are highly demanded today.
- Most Risky - BITS Pilani CSE: This option should be considered only if you are cent percent sure about CSE, else you will be stuck here. CS enthusiasts may find this option even better than IIT Bombay.
Pros: You get the chance to pursue the most coveted engineering branch at an extremely reputed institute.
Cons: You will suffer a lot if you are not able to meet the performance standards of the branch. Moreover, you will have no option to go for Finance roles or higher studies which most IITians who are unable to do well in their core branch do.
Thus we can conclude that being an IITian guarantee more success mainly because of the tag and the vast options available.
- IIT Bombay Civil - Entrepreneurial Spirit, Life Quality, Safest Option
- BITS Pilani CSE - Course of your choice that is highly coveted
- IIT Kharagpur MnC - Interest in Mathematics and the IIT tag
The pros of each branch above can be considered to make a more informed decision.
