You can not directly get admission in MS in IIT kgp. MS in IIT kgp is purely project based.

You need to first appear for project interview of SRIC  ( please see the link : http://www1.iitkgp.ac.in/topfiles/sric_job.php )

If you get selected in project , then after working for 6 months , you are eligible to appear for MS admission test and interview.

And one more thing , there are other interdisciplinary departments in IIT kgp , which offers MS in computer science subjects. But , my suggestion is that please do not go for them , as nobody will recognize later.

And , one more thing , apart from MS (CS)  , other MS dept in IIT kgp , has almost no placement opportunity. 

And if you compare MS (CS) and MTech (CS) , MTech (CS) has undoubtedly best placement there.

Source : my own experience.

Edit : 

Please go through the following google group link in which the MS students of IIT kgp have mentioned how they are discriminated in terms of placement opportunities :

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rs-dept-rep-iit-kgp/IPR2N_Nbr7U

So , in a nutshell , MS <> MTech in IIT kgp at least.
