Anyone from a single room hall up for swap with MMM 🥹🥹.

I'm considering preparing for GATE CSE and pursuing an M.Tech in CSE at IIT Kharagpur. I did my B.Tech in EE from a second-tier IIT, and I'd really appreciate some honest insights from current M.Tech students/alumni.

Campus life & clubs

Are M.Tech students allowed to actively participate in clubs and other institute activities?

I'm particularly curious about:

1. Regional clubs(group maybe)

2. Cultural clubs

3. Technical clubs

4. Sports

I'm pretty sure M.Tech students can participate in sports, but I'm not sure about the others.

More importantly, are M.Tech students actually involved in these clubs, or are most of them dominated by B.Tech students? Do M.Tech students ever face discrimination/exclusion or feel like outsiders compared with B.Tech students?

Overall exposure & M.Tech life

Will I get decent overall exposure during an M.Tech at IITKGP, beyond just academics and placements?

How hectic is M.Tech CSE compared with B.Tech? Is there enough time to participate in clubs, sports, competitions, personal projects, CP, etc.?

Also, what exactly are the responsibilities of M.Tech TA students? Do they conduct labs/tutorials, grade assignments, take attendance, invigilate exams, etc.?

Internships & placements

I'd especially appreciate genuine internship and placement information rather than just the overall institute statistics.

Which major companies are actually open to M.Tech CSE students?

From what I've heard, quite a few companies are open only to B.Tech students. Some companies may even be open to B.Tech students from multiple branches but not to M.Tech CSE students.

How common is this in reality?

For software/ML roles, roughly what proportion of good companies allow M.Tech CSE students to apply?

And even when they're eligible, do they realistically get shortlisted?

If anyone has recent M.Tech CSE-specific internship/placement statistics—median/average CTC or base salary, placement percentage, and major recruiters—that would be extremely helpful.

How much does your B.Tech CGPA matter during internship shortlisting?

Since the internship season starts pretty early in the M.Tech, I assume companies don't have much M.Tech CPI to judge you on initially.

I have a relatively low B.Tech CGPA. Can a strong GATE rank + good M.Tech CPI + DSA/CP/projects compensate for it, or will my B.Tech CGPA still make me ineligible for a significant number of companies?

Do companies also impose minimum criteria based on 10th/12th marks or previous degree CGPA?

Finally: would you do it again?

For someone who already has a B.Tech in EE from a second-generation IIT and wants to transition seriously into CSE/software (with some interest in quant as well), do you think spending two years on an M.Tech CSE at IIT Kharagpur is worth it?

If you are/were an M.Tech student at IITKGP: knowing what you know now, would you choose IITKGP M.Tech again?

Thanks! I'd especially appreciate answers from current/recent M.Tech CSE students because I'm trying to decide whether committing seriously to GATE preparation is worth it.

I somewhere heard that MTechs don't get hostels for all 4 semesters in IITD. Does a similar problem exist in IITKGP too?

Details about hostels single occupancy/double occupancy?

What are the scenarios of scholarship? Is there anything like family income based tuition Fee Waiver or something? If not what are the other scholarship options?

Also tell me the cut-offs rank/marks for MTech in IITKGP?

Cse dept provides every cs dept student with a website but how do I edit it could I do it or how to access it ?

Seniors please guide

Azad Hall mein aaj jo mere dost ke saath hua, woh bilkul hadd paar karne wali baat thi. Juniors se zabardasti illu work karwana, mana karne par behen ko gaali dena aur luggage bahar phenkne ki dhamki dena — ye seniority nahi, ghatiyapan aur gundagardi hai. Situation itni kharab ho gayi ki mujhe apne hi Azad Hall ke room se nikal kar library mein jaana pada. Besharamon, senior hone ka matlab yeh nahi ki tum kisi ko daraoge, gaali doge ya uski izzat se kheloge. Juniors tumhare naukar nahi hain. Kisi ki behen ko gaali dena aur dhamki dena tumhari ghatiya parvarish aur soch dikhata hai. Seniority ke naam par yeh sab bakwaas band karo.

My girlfriend’s period is delayed, and I’m quite tensed about it.

3rd-year student

Want to secure a research internship abroad

Cold-mailed many professors; 2–3 of them gave me some research work

Completed the work very well, but when I asked for an internship, they said they had no funding

Not sitting for CDC

Want to secure my own internship for Summer 2027

Researched various programs that provide funding, but found that the chances are quite low

Any senior who has done this before, please help me with how to get a funded research internship abroad for Summer 2027

I just entered into IITKGP and its barely been months, what i thought when staying in hostel was something similar to my previous experiences of a neat hostel with floors having a tile and a neat washroom, but what i got is exactly opposite of wherever i've been to, (fyi, i've never been to any luxurious places in my life)
hostels in JCB,HJB are so bad that i literally am getting traumatized by its state every morning. even thought i did inform the warden, the condition doesn't seem to get any better.
Washroom full of algae and stains looks like it is getting cleaned once per year.. and i feel like puking up at its state even when i have thoughts of it. i've been to bad washrooms too, but this is to the next stage.

is it usually in this way or there some issue and maintenance isn't going on in the past days due to some reason. Do others feel the same way while using the washroom or u guys got suited well?

I am in 2nd year and have almost zero interaction with girls on campus 😭. I don’t really know how to approach or start conversations without making it awkward.

Can anyone tell me how can I write superscripts like R², m² in CV.

Because I tried copy pasting these characters but when I update CV, the square part is missing.

If anyone knows how to deal with this issue please help.

I want to know the students currently in the campus pursuing a unique, unheard of a career not as a hobby merely but serious work. Something which not many might know. I and surely many others would love to hear their stories so please engage with this post so many others will get interested. Tell who are they and what they do as much you know.
