The college has a good infrastructure and environment.

Placements: Approximately 90% of students got placed in our course. Top recruiters are Graviton, Optiver, Goldman Sachs, Adobe, Dream 11, and Amazon. They recruit students from our department for quant research, software development, data analysis, data science, etc.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for my department are average somewhat lower than the departments like CSE and electrical. The quality of the facilities of the hostel is quite good including mess and canteen. Sports equipment is also available for use.

Faculty: Teachers or faculty members are helpful, highly qualified, and knowledgeable. The courses are more oriented towards core mathematics and quite helpful for higher studies. Semester exams are difficult in some courses and the pass percentage is relative to the performance of other students.

College is well known and best college as compared to others.

Placements: In my course, almost all of them are placed; the highest package is about 1.5 crores, the lowest is 7 lacs, and the average package is 20 lacs. Top recruiting companies are WorldQuant, Google, Microsoft and BCG. About 60% of students get the internship in all the above companies. Top roles offered are software and finance consultant.

Infrastructure: We all get the free Wi-Fi in the hostel; it is old and the classrooms are of two types, old and new but all have AC rooms and there is a big library known as the PK Kelkar Library. Rooms have no ACs. We have a mess secretary among us so the quality of the food is not bad and the canteen is open from 2 pm to 2 am. And the medical facilities are 24/7 and free. And have a student activity centre for games and sports.

Faculty: The teachers are very nice and helpful but the grading is so bad in our batch and all the teachers are postdoctorate and more knowledgeable. The course curriculum is so much more relevant. The semester exams are the toughest in comparison to other colleges. Pass percentage is 70%.

Other: Because according to the JEE Advanced rank, I got this college. The best thing about my course is that normal people can not sustain it and I would suggest you please improve the grading policy of the course. The fests are so good. 4 fests have been held for students with extraordinary and financial problems.

Absolutely satisfied because of the environment and lifestyle of the college; best placement in 2022

Placements: 100% students placed in Maths (90% if you take non-willing). The highest 1.2 Cr Rubrik USA, the lowest 10 Lacs, something average 20 LPA. All software companies and high-paying HFTs (Alpha Freo, Graviton, etc.) are open for Maths (based on GDP/CPI) as it is a circuit branch. Internships on campus were 60-70%, but off-campus almost everyone, and again in startups, and in MNCs mostly startups. Roles include Software Engineer, Quantitative Analyst.

Infrastructure: Best facilities including PK Kelkar Library, computer center, student lounge with high-speed internet, and all comforts to study peacefully. New classrooms which were built are more infrastructurally well-equipped with the latest teaching devices as compared to the classrooms where Maths classes take place. Good quality food and the mess secretary is always there to resolve any dispute related to the menu and quality. Medical facilities are awesome; on-demand ambulance service is even available at midnight. Sports and games are well encouraged; there is even one FEAT which our institute organizes for sports, that is, Udhghosh. Canteens are open 24/7 during exams.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. One of my teachers, from whom I studied cryptographs, was a pioneer in his field and received a golden prize equivalent to the Nobel Prize. Even professors of mathematics are highly knowledgeable and conceptually apt. Exceptions are everywhere, as some teachers are not that good in their teaching skills, although there is no doubt about their academic skills. In my course, it makes you research-ready, but there is a facility in our college to choose courses via open electives to study courses of your choice and career-friendly courses. So, it is a more student-centric curriculum. Since in our college, there is relative grading, so no clear percentage at times. Exams of some courses were so hard that the highest marks were only 40-50%, that too with a large standard deviation. Some courses were too easy that every student got an A, so it is basically a professor-centric curriculum.

Other: Seriously, after giving JEE Advance, whichever top college, top branch I am eligible for, I opt for it. As I come from a humble background, I don’t have exposure to what all to do and how to do so. I just go with the flow. Social life was truly amazing at IITK with its Asia’s one of the largest fest, Antaragni, to one of the finest alumni networks who are more enthusiastic to help you than you asking for help. Scholarships are also given to many students from various means such as alumni fund, alumni sponsored, and some college sponsored.

It's not a private college. It's IIT Kanpur. No doubt about anything.

Placements: In our batch, there are 64 students, out of which 40 got placed with an average package of approximately 40 Lacs. Others either pursued higher studies or work in other fields. There are many types of math courses, which are very different from any other branch. All IT companies recruit here.

Infrastructure: Labs and classrooms are too good. Good professors provide everything they have. Classes are held regularly. We have a good departmental building. Hostels are also excellent, with nice messes and rooms. Cleaning is done regularly. All other facilities are available.

Faculty: Teachers are the top in India, so no comment on their qualifications. Teaching is okay. Yes, it is a necessary course in today's world because math is involved in every aspect of work. Semester exams are very hectic. To pass, you need to study every day.

Review of IIT Kanpur by me.

Placements: Last year, almost 92 percent of students got placed. Companies like Quant Box and Google come to hire our students. The average package was around 28 lacs per annum, the maximum was around 3 to 4 crores and the minimum was around 14 lacs. Almost all students who work hard get placed.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of IIT Kanpur is amazing and it is one of the best IITs, and the hostel is too amazing to be able to explore such things and get past all the difficulties that you can face. It helps you build a bond you will never forget and it is worth living there.

Faculty: IIT Kanpur is known for its academics and the best faculty provided to the students. Almost all the professors have done research in the best field they teach and exams are quite tough to pass through them. It is to teach you not to give up and face difficulties in the future.
