A quick thought on the Indian IITs with a perspective on IIT Kharagpur.

No amount of words will be enough :
1.Entrance test - Possibly the toughest in the world
2.Networking opportunity - Excellent and creates awonderful peer circle
3.Academics - The most popular are IITs in Bombay,Delhi , Kanpur, Kharagpur,Madras .The Khargpur education has a high level of applications and less of theory.It is said this IIT produces engineers while the others produce scientists.
4.Higher Education-The first 4 mentioned are better in terms of getting schols from US Ivy Leagues
To make it to the IIMs all IITs are equally good , but since IIT Kgp provides a good mix of non-IT jobs ,it might have an edge.
5.Job Opportunity- IIT Kharagpur produces more robust personalities suitable for Indian factories and markets .
6.Extracurricular Activities- IIT Kharagpur leads in terms of sports and other literary and cultural activities.
7.Quality of life - Most IITs are in cities and provide a good quality of life on weekends.Kharagpur and Kanpur are like Cornell where distractions are few and you can pursue research and extracurricular activities.
