Is placements good in IIT Kharagpur for communication stream(Mtech)

Hello ManojKumar Binkena,

Well, I can answer this question as I recently attended the interview of M.Tech in Instrumentation and Signal Processing at IITKGP. This specialization comes under Electrical Engineering department where total 12 seats are there for EE/IN people under Major degree and 6 seats for EC people under Minor degree. Before going to IITKGP for interview, I consulted to one of my seniors regarding the placement scenario of this specialization. A person with good coding background can do pretty well in this specialization as knowledge of Python and Matlab is quite essential to handle the core subjects of signal processing and these people normally get placed as DSP engineers in companies like Qualcomm, TI, Cisco etc with an average package of 15 LPA. Anyhow, the one who is not quite comfortable with programming can also get placed in automation companies which offer 12 LPA on an average as core subjects for instrumentation profile are also there. Students from this branch also get placed in some VLSI companies as they have the freedom to choose subjects on the basis of their interest and these companies usually offer 17–19 LPA. In that conversation, I also get to know that last year three people of this branch under Major degree got placed in VLSI companies by choosing electives wisely. So, In my opinion IITKGP Instrumentation and Signal Processing specialization is worth opting...

P.S.-The only constraint with the people opting this branch is the “Non coding background” which can often be seen in EE/IN people who are interested in Core profile of their branch from the very beginning.
