B.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering - Batch of 2025

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Great infrastructure with unfairly hard academics.

Placements: 77.8% students were placed in my course. Median package offered was 18LPA. Top role offered was that of software engineer in IT by MNCs like Adobe, Microsoft and Amazon, consulting roles were offered by Accenture along with core roles by Airbus and HAL. Around 30% students of my course were offered on-campus internships in mostly technical, consulting and trading roles.

Infrastructure: We have 5G wifi available across the campus. There is an expansive library and a multitude of classrooms. The labs are spread across a large academic area with all the modern facilities available. We have a wind tunnel facility, an airstrip, flight lab and 3 working aircrafts. There are 14 student hostels with a maximum capacity of 650 students. Mess facilities are available in each hostel with food served 3 times a day and canteens are open for a duration of 12 hours. We have multiple grounds spread across the campus, a PE ground, a football ground, an event ground and an audi ground. There are also voleyball, badminton and basketball courts in each hostel. Also, there is an olympic sized swimming pool, a badminton court, tennis courts, a yoga hall, volleyball courts and two gyms with all the required facilities available.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable but some are aloof and careless. The teaching quality varies. While all the teachers are Masters in their respective subjects, many lack the patience and skills to explain and relate to the students. The course curriculum is relevant with many new and exciting topics. I would say that the courses do prepare the students, o content wise, for the industry. The subjects range from very difficult to easier ones. Overall, the semesters are difficult but not extreme. The passing percentage is usually around 90% but I have taken subjects which had 40% pass percentage.

Other: I chose this course because I thought the name was cool (Aerospace Engineering). The best things about my course are the various labs and active areas of research. While some labs have the state of the art technology, a couple have equipments not upgraded from 10 years ago. Also, I wish the course would also include subjects with more 'space' part in them.

Never ending IIT journey .

Placements: Total students in my course were approximately 120, and the highest package is about 35 Lacs and the lowest is 12 Lacs, and my top recruiting company is Core in Dr. Reddy and many more, and max 90 people go for the internship, and roles are in a varied variety of data analysts, software development, and so on.

Infrastructure: IIT has every facility to live in there; they have sports facilities, Wi-Fi, a computer center, a swimming pool, badminton courts, basketball, and every hostel has it too; they also have gyms. Also, a lot of the things are more cool stuff and all are in perfect condition .

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful in college; they tried to explain each and every concept related to the subject, and they want you too get to explore deeply in the subject. IIT has a fast semester of 3 months, and papers are held that get finished in a week, so it is more relaxing.

Other: I choose chemical engineering because of the interest in chemistry, and also because placement is good, and I was very much free and can explore in every field because it was not too hectic. Course papers also come easy, and the faculty is too good, and the events held in the department and festivals happening in college are also too good.

Review of Earth Science Course, IIT Kanpur.

Placements: No good placements are available in my course as it is almost the last priority for companies. The highest package is around 30 Lacs, the lowest is around 0 to 3 Lacs, and the average is around 10 Lacs. Almost no core companies come to my college for placements and internships. Roles in my course include Geologist, Earth Scientist, and some others. Getting an internship is very hard in my course as it is a low-priority course.

Infrastructure: Labs have AC and are well-equipped. Classrooms and the library are shared by all students and have good infrastructure. The hostel is decent, but my room is small, though adjustable. The food in the mess is good but can sometimes be bad. We have good medical facilities here, and a bunch of free medicine is provided. Many sports and games are available.

Faculty: Teachers are good to some extent in teaching. They are helpful. The course is relevant for core profiles. More effort should be put into internships and placements, but it is hard for BS students to get placed in core companies. Exams are mainly subjective, which can make them feel a bit challenging. The pass percentage in my course is generally good.

Other: I chose this course because of IIT Kanpur. There are no exceptional aspects about my course regarding placements, internships, or guidance. You can connect with campus students by joining clubs, societies, etc. Events frequently happen through clubs, societies, and cells. Fests are technical, sports, and cultural. College scholarships are available, and you can also get scholarships from outside the campus.

Review of Computer Science Engineering, IIT Kanpur.

Placements: Almost 95 to 99 percent students will be placed in CSE. The highest package is around 2 crore, the lowest is around 15 Lacs, average is around 40 to 45 Lacs. Top recruiting companies are Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Graviton, and many more, with no limit to software and quant companies. Around 90 percent students will get internships. Roles will be software, data analyst, web developer, etc.

Infrastructure: Obviously, CSE has well-infrastructure labs. We have a separate building for CSE students named HR Kadim and RM Building. From the 2nd year, many classes will be held in the RM Building. The library is common for all students. The hostel is common for all students, and my hostel is an old one with a bit small rooms. Food in the mess and canteen is good. The health center is available here, providing a bunch of free medicine and good facilities.

Faculty: Teachers are very good and have high teaching levels. They have done PhDs in foreign countries. The course curriculum is important and very relevant for internships and placements. Courses are well and good, but extra reading should be done for internships and placements. Semester exams will be hard as all students are talented. Pass percentage will be based on proof, and some might be strict.

Other: I have chosen this course because of the good branch in a good IIT. The best things are we have a big building, benefits for internships, placements, etc. Everything in my course is good, with no worries. Many events happen in a year from many clubs, societies, etc. Cultural, sports, and technical fests occur in a year, and more crowd will be present on the campus at these times. The campus surroundings are good, and we have metro access. I don't know much about scholarships. Clubs, societies, fests, and cell are many extracurricular activities.

Review of Material Science Engineering, IIT Kanpur.

Placements: More than 60 percent of students in my course are placed. The highest package is around 40 Lacs, the lowest package is around 0 to 5 Lacs, and the average package is around 15 Lacs. There aren't many core companies that come for placements at IIT Kanpur, so students often take internships with non-core companies like software, data, and consulting. Few roles are offered in core fields.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, AC, and drinking water are available in classrooms, labs, the library, and department areas. Classrooms have projectors and switchboards. Mess food is good, the canteen is also good, and the quality depends on the hall you live in. There is a health center on campus that provides free medicine and good facilities when we become sick. There are many sports and games available, and you can access all of them.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, but some are not suited for teaching, so students often rely on reference books or YouTube. The course curriculum is relevant, but I feel some courses are not useful. You need to study extra during free periods to be industry-ready. Professors decide the difficulty level of exams, and the pass percentage in my course is more than acceptable.

Other: I chose this course because I got a better branch in a good college. There aren't many standout features of my course compared to other courses. Labs could be better equipped, and the department building could be improved. There are three fests a year, and there are 1,200 students in a B.Tech first-year batch, so the campus is quite crowded. The surroundings are near the outskirts, and you can see pan parag outside the campus. Scholarships are available based on eligibility. Extracurricular activities include clubs, societies, and fests.
