Kolkata: One of India's premier institutes, IIT Kharagpur, has launched a campaign to woo students to join its campus which has impeccable placement records and academic environment.

The institute, though a website and YouTube channel, is offering a campus tour video where the overall view count has reached 23,000.

The institute highlights its placement record, flexible curricula and exposure through the website urging students to opt for IIT-Kharagpur

The campaign will solve student queries.

"Most students have the same question related to placement. 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," said Atal Ashutosh Agarwal, students Vice President of IIT Kharagpur.

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

The first round of seat allocation for admissions to 87 institutes, including IITs, began on Sunday and the second round will be held on July 11.
