Have a question related to IIT Kharagpur ?
hi,
With your SC category rank of 4165 in JEE Advanced, you do have a chance to get admission to the Architecture course at IIT Kharagpur. In the previous years, the closing rank for SC category in the B.Arch course at IIT Kharagpur was somewhere around this range, sometimes slightly higher or slightly lower depending on the year and seat availability. Your rank is quite close to the usual cut-off, so your chances are possible but may depend on how the seat allotment moves this year and how many candidates with better ranks opt for the same course.

Hello Aspirant,
According to some recent reports, including one from TOI, IIT Kharagpur has changed its branch change policy, probably blocking or discontinuing the branch change option as we have known it from 2024-25 onward. Although, some official site or previous iteration of the site may still show the previous policy that allows for branch change after the first year based on CGPA. To gain the most accurate and up-to-date information, you would want to look at:
- The official IIT Kharagpur UG Rule book/academic brochure for the current year.
- Postings on the official IIT KGP website or admissions website.
- Direct contact with the academic office or administration.

No, you cannot get admission into IIT Kharagpur (IIT KGP) through the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE).
IITs, including IIT KGP, accept admissions solely based on scores obtained in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced.
The WBJEE is a separate exam for admission into state-level engineering colleges in West Bengal, not IITs.
GOOD luck!!

Hello there,
With a GATE Electrical Engineering (EE) score of 630, getting admission to the M.Tech program in Instrumentation and Integrated Electronics at IIT Kharagpur is unlikely.
Key points:
-
The closing GATE score for this program in 2024 was around 608 for the general category.
-
For reserved categories, cutoffs are lower (OBC around 573, SC around 337, ST around 248).
-
Admission depends on GATE score and sometimes an interview.
Recommendations:
-
You can consider applying to other IITs or NITs where your score may meet the cutoff for similar courses.
-
Explore other reputed institutes offering M.Tech in Instrumentation and Electronics.
-
If this field is important for you, consider preparing to improve your GATE score for the next attempt.

Hello,
For the long run in the industry, MBA (Analytics) from IIM Kashipur is generally considered more beneficial than an MBA from IIT Kharagpur (KGP), especially for those seeking a career in business analytics or consulting. While IIT KGP offers a strong technical foundation, IIM Kashipur provides a more balanced approach, blending analytics with business management, which is crucial for leadership roles and bridging tech and management.
-
If you prioritize a career in business analytics or consulting, IIM Kashipur's MBA (Analytics) program is likely a better choice due to its focus on blending analytics with business management.
- If you prefer a career that requires a strong technical foundation and a blend of technical and business skills, IIT Kharagpur's MBA program might be more suitable.
I hope you got the idea about your query. However you can also check for more details in the official websites of these colleges which are mentioned below.
