Hi, The average package of electrical at IIT KGP is as follows EE(4 year) 15.25 lpa(2016), 12 lpa(2015) EE(Dual degree) 14.5 lpa(2016) , 14.5 lpa(2015) Around 61% students were placed this year in first phase, the low %(which is not so low :-p) shows that in EE, students generally choose research field , so goes for higher studies. Almost every department's package reduces this year. One of the main reason is that All India Placement Committee banned newly start-up's from the placement process . According o previous data's regarding security of job, the job security is very low in newly growing start-ups. Second reason might be demonatisation. And beware it's just average , if you are a 9 pointer , your package in electrical will be around 30-40 lpa . :-) All the best.

Hello, let's talk about the branch first, in most IITs, the name electrical engineering means that the students will be taught both electrical and electronics. But in Kharagpur, electrical engineering students are emphasized to learn about electrical machines only. There are other courses such as control systems and embedded systems but their course content is neither well developed nor sufficient to get an industry job in it. Especially embedded systems. To know about the list of the past recruiters who have visited IIT, Kharagpur for placement season 2014-15. 2015-16, and also 2016-17 click on the link given below:- http://why.iitkgp.ac.in/sites/default/files/ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.pdf. Also, the companies who provide internships to students include Airbus, ABB, Jindal Power, Reliance, etc. To know about the list of recruiters for internships, click on the link given: http://why.iitkgp.ac.in/sites/default/files/internships.pdf. Every year, around 1000 to 1500 students appear for the placement process. In terms of the average salary offered, generally, the figure is around Rs 9 to Rs 12 lakhs per annum with the highest package being offered around Rs 40 to Rs 50 lakhs per annum. I believe it is possible to get a high paying job in CS/ECE/EE these days just out of college. However money is not the only thing you should look for in your career start, ideally, you should look for career growth. Hope this helps! All the Best!

More than 1000 students were placed in the first season of the placement drives in which about 185 companies ordered PPO (Pre Placement Offer) and 129 offers were accepted by the students. Companies like ABB, ADOBE, TATA, MICROSOFT, L&T, SAMSUNG, etc. International offers in the company like:- NTT JAPAN, GOOGLE USA, CISCO, SHELL, DELLOITE, etc. With the batch of about 58 students about 43 students got a package of 12 Lacs at an average and taking about dual degree, they got a package of 14 Lacs on an average. Many students didn't appear for the drives they opt for CAT, GMAT, IAS and other govt services. So these statistics indicated that placement is very good in the year and have received hot mark expectations from the premium level Institute. ABB JINDAL POWER Air bus engineering Mahindra Reliance Power are also the prominent recruitment agency of the institute. Average package- 12 Lacs in the batch of 58 students this year. Rest were opting for other studies and service in the country. It was the best!
