Based on the past records, it's evident that those who have maintained their academic score (CGPA) above 7.5 in any of the disciplines and participated in various extra-curricular activities at IIT Kharagpur, get an average salary in the range of 9-12 lakh per annum," Atal Ashutosh Agarwal, the students Vice President of IIT Kharagpur, said.

He said that a good rank in the joint exam could ensure a good department, but good placement would depend on the CGPA score.
