4.4

Short review of IIT Kanpur curriculum.

Placements: The percentage of students placed in the year is mostly around 85 percent, and the highest package is around INR 38 LPA and the average is around INR 19 LPA. The top recruiting companies are in research, and then come non-core placements for which you need a good CGPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. There is one library that has a good, clean and helpful environment. There is free Wi-Fi on the whole campus, and classrooms also have a centralized AC system and have maintained decorum. The hostel life is good; you will remember it the rest of your life.

Faculty: The exams are mostly the most difficult, and the grades of the course vary from one proof to another. The course curriculum is relevant to the research. And also, there are labs held twice a week to help you understand the practical importance of the subject. Overall, it is good.

Other: Take courses if you have an interest in the subject. The campus is well connected, and the IIT Kanpur cultural festival is the biggest in Asia.

IIT Kanpur Detailed Review. ( ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW).

Placements: More than 75% students were placed in 2022-23 placement session. The highest - 30 Lacs, the lowest - 15 Lacs & Average - 20 Lacs. Deloitte, TATA Consultancy Services & more visit here. About 60-65 % students got internship last year.

Infrastructure: We have many facilities provided in our department and campus. Physics Labs with high precision instruments and devices. Centralized air conditioned library with more than 50000 books. The academic area has many lecture halls for the classes and the lectures halls are highly furnished and centrally air conditioned. Quality of food in mess and canteen are on average level. The rooms which are provided in the hostel are sufficient spacious.

Faculty: Teachers in our campus are very helpful and qualified from the most prestigious institutes in our country. Their Teaching quality is very good. Yes the course curriculum is very relevant to survive in the industry and it also make your mind more creative and to think in the right direction. # Since it is an IIT, the semester exams are tough but not that much difficult. If you attend all the lectures and do assignments then you will definitely did good in the exams. Pass percentage for the exams varies subject to subject but it did not exceed more than 30%. .

Other: I chose this course because I was very interested in study Physics. # The best thing about course is that you can relate what you studied in the class in real life. I don't think so there is need of any change in the course. Events happens regularly in the campus like movie screening, motivation session and Real Life Talks. # There are basically 3 main fest happens every year namely Antaragni, Techkriti and Udghosh. There are many scholarships offered in the campus every year but there is eligibility criteria which you have to fulfill.

It is an amazing college.

Placements: IIT Kanpur is a very good college for research. Especially in research, this branch is research-oriented, but you can place in non-core companies like tech and finance, which you can apply with appropriate CPI.

Infrastructure: IITK is known for its infrastructure. Wi-Fi is awesome with a speed of up to 40 Mbps, and classrooms are fully projector-based. The library is composed of almost all books, and I always found books which I looked for. There is CCD in our college where we have 60% offer on everything we purchase. Its simple cost is Rs. 33, and in the local market, it cost 120. In Kanpur, wherever you go, you are given a 10% discount because of IIT.

Faculty: Academic is quite tough here. You have to focus on your studies. Otherwise, it leads to bad consequences. Courses are well-constructed. There is a mixture of both practical and theoretical knowledge which is pretty good. The teaching style is good, but not that good. However, I have enjoyed studying physics here. Faculty members are very good and very helpful.

Other: Events and fests are awesome.

Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, Inside-Out

Placements: 85% of all students who applied to the students placement office got placed in the first round of placement. placement was higher in bachelors than masters, But masters placement has improved over last few years. The top placement branches were of course CSE and EE, but the highest placement of 1.56 crore CTC was grabbed by a CE student. Many of the famous recruiters came to the campus some of which were Microsoft, QUALCOMM, INTEL, Google, and snapdragon. The average package was sort of 8-9 LPA though I am not certain for that fact. There are many seniors who have received internships, and many have also received PPO's. The highest internship was about 50L.

Infrastructure: All of the facilities are mostly equivalent across all the courses, We have state of the art classrooms and labs, all the classrooms are fully equipped with all sorts of teaching aids, Air conditioning and WiFi. I would say we have one of the best classrooms available in the country. The labs are similarly best equipped as they can be, many of our equipment are imported(Phywe). I could just keep bragging about IITK and then too it wouldn't be enough, we have tonnes of facilities, our library (THE PK Kelkar library) contains over 3 lac volumes. we are the only college in India to have an airstrip of our own, A wind tunnel, a particle macerator, a supercomputer, electron microscope, and many other things, many of which even I don't know about , what else one wants. The food is decent, but better than most of the messes across most colleges, the canteens are open till 2AM and after that, a central canteen serves till 4 AM , we have a subsidised CCD outlet in the campus. I would say that our first year Hostel is bigger than many of the colleges in the country, there are all together 13 hostels on the campus for the students. We have well equipped and ultra clean health centre which is free for students. The games and sports facilities(in a single line without much of description)-an Olympic sized swimming pool, wooden indoor basketball, badminton, table tennis, and squash courts, one basket ball court across all hostels, two gyms. and many more -you name it we've got it.

Faculty: We have the best faculty available that there could be, the professors are efficiently researchers and are the best in their respective fields. and they are very supportive too. we don't follow a standard curriculum developed by some authority, because we are the authority. each and every prof. designs the course by himself, and is the supreme incharge of what is taught in the course. The courses are highly rigorous and very demanding, so if one thinks that his life is going to be chill after coming here then good morning to him.

Other: (1)I chose the course because I was interested in the subject, the best things are that none of the colleges have a airstrip of its own and these awesome facilities. (2)I wish the foreign collaborations were better and student representation should increase.(3)coming to fests we have multiple fests spread across the year- UDGHOSH(sports fest), ANTARAGINI(cultural fest) and TECHKRITI(technical fest). Each of the fests have a budget of over a crore rupees, though not one of the best college fest that there are in country, antaragini and techkriti are prime times for the campus community to collaborate and compete with the outside world. the largest ever campus sunburn was hosted by antaragini 2k17, where DJ Casmir performed. Then there are other events such as general championship which are fought inter hostel and many more....overall the opportunities are unlimited whatever you want to pursue or even try, astronomy, dance, drama, music, sports ,robotics, programming, even bicycling each and everyone of these have a club or a society of there own. you can literally pursue anything, any thing here and be good at it. the campus is NOT well connected, campus lies in the outskirts of Kanpur city and even the closest mall is 11km away. but the only thing is that the campus in itself is self-sufficient, but to enjoy more of facilities you'll have to take the pain in the ass. the Kanpur metro is well under construction but no one knows when it will be completed, after its construction city would be much more approachable. and then Kanpur still no match for cities like Delhi and Bombay.

Review of IIT Kanpur. Its infrastructure, faculty, mess and canteen.

Placements: At least 80% every year the placement opportunity starts for every batch. While for some years the placement reaches to around 95% with a selection of around each individual seating in the placement session. The highest salary offered was around 1.48 cores. The lowest offered is around 7 lakhs per annum. The percent of internship offered around 70%.

Infrastructure: The college is Wi-Fi enabled. The Wi-fi speed is around 4-5 times the Jio 4g speed at the peak. Downloading speed of torrent files comes around few GB/seconds. More than 1000 acre of land is dedicated towards labs and computer centres so basically one can't describe the awesomeness of infrastructure of the college in one paragraph. The classes with A.C facilities and comfortable chairs. Asia's largest library P.K Kelkar is on our campus. The hostel rooms are satisfactory. The mess and canteen food are good.

Faculty: The faculty members are from IITs. They are from the ACE colleges like MIT Harvard with research experience of more than 5-6 years at IITs or IIScs. Most of the professors are helpful and are the ocean of knowledge and skills with the best technological methods used. For example, the teaching on a large writing which can be focused from very far easily from a 500 m distance. The projectors writing markers are always superb quality with good quality of ink flow and non-pushed tip.
