Given your profile, you can definitely secure a good internship at IIT Kharagpur. However, getting an internship requires a lot of research and effort.

• The first step is to determine what kind of internship you are looking for. You have two options to choose from: research or industrial training.
• Once you are clear with the kind of internship you want, you can start looking for companies that do not have the CG criteria.
• Another way to look for an internship Is to contact your department seniors because then help you understand how to prepare and what materials or books to follow, how much time to invest in your preparation,etc.
• If you are adamant about working on a certain topic, you can contact the people that work on such projects and get the general idea about what every company works on.
• Start looking for programs if you are willing to go for a research internship.

Lastly, if you fail to get selected in the choice of your program or are rejected because of low CGPA, don’t let that dishearten you because you have an entire year to focus on academics and projects and still can work on your placements.

IIT Kharagpur is always open to consulting companies. However, the top consultants you mentioned don’t visit IIT Kharagpur usually because

• The recruiting in consulting companies is generally done by Partner level executives. These are extremely busy people who are paid hefty amounts for just one hour of counseling. 
• The consultants you mentioned have a small demand which is fulfilled by IIT Delhi or IIT Bombay wherever the main office is.
• Traveling to IIT Kharagpur requires 2-3 days and consultants are not that free
• The profile which goes to some of the local colleges may not be the same which comes to IITs.

But if you look from a positive aspect, although IIT Kharagpur was not visited by top consulting companies, it had more than 130 offers, which is the highest among IITs and packages offered, but at par with other IITs.
