IIT Kanpur College review.
Placements: Every single student who went for placement ended up getting a spot in coaching institutes like Physics Wallah and Prutor, with packages typically ranging from about 6 to 7 LPA. When it comes to math, it seems like a lot of folks are looking to pursue their Ph.D., whether in India or overseas, if we are talking placements, Statistics is actually doing better than Mathematics in our department.
Infrastructure: Talking about the colleges infrastructure, it includes all the basics, clean water supply, spacious Science labs, an auditorium for cultural events, and a playground for sports, there is also a well-stocked library and tidy classrooms. Students can take advantage of transportation and on-campus housing if they do not have their own rides, the mess is kept clean, and while the food is pretty good, I think adding more choices that students like would be a bonus.
Faculty: The faculty and staff do a solid job here. First-year classes felt a lot like high school, which made the transition smoother, the college does a nice job recognizing academic achievements and really goes out of its way to celebrate the top performers.

Placements: Honestly, when it comes to placements for this course, it’s pretty much non-existent. Hardly any companies show up for recruitment. Now, if you look at other courses, though, the situation is much brighter. They actually have solid placement opportunities. And here’s a little silver lining: students from this course can still throw their hats in the ring for placements in those other programs. On average, the packages can reach anywhere from 10 to 15 LPA.
Infrastructure: The college has pretty solid infrastructure and decent amenities, You know, the on-campus housing is actually quite comfy and well-managed. A lot of students choose to live there. As for the food service, it’s okay, meets the basic standards, nothing fancy.
Faculty: The faculty here is just fantastic. Every single member really knows their stuff when it comes to their field. They’re super accessible and are always ready to lend a hand to students, the way they teach works well, giving students a solid grasp of the material, the curriculum is modern, and the test questions strike a nice balance, not too easy, not too hard.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and labs are average and not cleaned on a daily basis. The quality of food available in the mess and canteen is not acceptable. Wi-Fi facilities are only for faculty members. The hostel rooms are not so comfortable and very small. Sports and medical facilities are available.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and knowledgeable but they are not much helpful. They became angry if students asked about their doubts. The teaching quality is good but the behaviour of faculty members is not acceptable. Only few curriculum activities are conducted.

The big names hiring include Microsoft, Intel, Flipkart, and Saplabs, among others. As for the roles, we are talking about SDE, data scientists, and cybersecurity engineers.

In addition to this, students may use the residential facilities and dining halls. The hostel accommodation is generally considered satisfactory. The food in the mess is middling, and the health center is staffed with medical professionals who are there to help if someone falls sick.
Faculty: The teaching staff comprises faculty members who possess good qualifications and have sufficient knowledge. They are very creative in their activities, and this attracts listeners. They are using the method of storytelling and participating in discussions to explain the concepts. The curriculum is on point and perfectly suitable. Otherwise, students who are well-covered in the concepts are mostly good at finding ways to clear the exams.
