name: Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
description: 'Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur / IIT KGP) is a public technical and research university
  in West Bengal, India, and the first of the IITs, ranked #222 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public digital
  footprint centers on machine-readable scholarly infrastructure rather than a formal developer program: the Central Library
  operates a DSpace-based Institutional Digital Repository (the first IR among the IITs) and the institute maintains an IRINS
  research-profile portal hosted by INFLIBNET that ingests data from ORCID, Scopus, and Crossref. Operational systems such
  as the ERP/SSO platform are gated to enrolled members and expose no public API documentation. No official institution-wide
  developer portal was found; this profile catalogs the publicly reachable, standards-based endpoints only.'
