Before it was India's most storied engineering campus, it was a prison. The Hijli Detention Camp — built by the British in 1930 to jail freedom fighters — became the founding home of India's first IIT on 18 August 1951 [¹]. That origin story still runs through KGP's identity: grit, history, and scale. At roughly 2,100 acres, it is the largest IIT campus in the country — a self-contained township of 15,000+ residents [¹]. Cultural life runs equally deep: Spring Fest (1960) is the oldest college cultural festival in India [²], while Kshitij is Asia's largest techno-management fest [²]. Halls like RP Hall, RK Hall, Patel Hall, and MMM Hall carry decades of rivalry and lore. The alumni roll includes Google CEO Sundar Pichai (B.Tech Metallurgy, 1993) and entrepreneur-philanthropist Vinod Gupta — proof that what started in a detention camp went on to shape the world [³].

Frequently asked.

• How long does shipping to IIT Kharagpur take?

  IIT Kharagpur is located in Kharagpur, West Bengal — roughly 120 km from Kolkata. Orders typically arrive in 4–6 business days from our warehouses. If you're ordering to a hall address on campus, use the full hall name (e.g., Rajendra Prasad Hall of Residence, IIT Kharagpur, Kharagpur 721302, West Bengal) for smooth delivery. Orders to Kharagpur town addresses follow the same timeline.

• When is IIT Kharagpur's annual convocation?

  IIT Kharagpur holds its annual convocation in July. The 71st Convocation was held on 15 July 2025. If you're placing an order for graduation, we recommend ordering at least 10–12 days before the ceremony to be safe — standard delivery is 4–6 days, bulk orders take 10–14 days.

• Do you sell official Spring Fest or Kshitij merchandise?

  We don't sell official Spring Fest or Kshitij event merchandise — those are managed by their respective organizing committees. What we do offer is IIT Kharagpur-themed apparel and accessories you can wear year-round: tees, hoodies, and more with KGP branding. Great for gifting or repping your campus pride beyond fest season.

• Can I place a bulk order for my hall or department?

  Yes — for orders of 15 or more items, bulk pricing applies. Allow 10–14 days for production and delivery (longer than the standard 4–6 days). Drop us a message via the Contact page with your quantity, preferred designs, and delivery date, and we'll sort out the details.

• Can I customise a product with my hall name or department?

  Absolutely. Popular customisations at KGP include hall names (RP Hall, RK Hall, Patel Hall, MMM Hall, and more) and department shoutouts (Metallurgy, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, etc.). Use the Studio or reach out via the Contact page to discuss your design. Custom orders generally need 7–10 extra days.
