The best four years that I will spend.
Placements: I am from Chemical Engineering, and in my branch, around 80% of students get placed. The highest package offered is 50 LPA, the median is 21 LPA, and the lowest is 8 LPA. The top recruiting company from my branch is Microsoft, offering 50 LPA. The top roles offered are SDE, consulting, and data analytics roles.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility is great, and labs are a bit hectic, but the infrastructure is top-class. The library has an occupancy of around 500 students and is a three-storey building. The infrastructure of hostels is quite old, so in the beginning, it might be difficult to live as there is no AC. The food quality in the mess is better than that of any other engineering college. The health centre at IIT Kanpur provides medicine and treatment completely free of cost. The campus provides facilities for all sorts of games.
Faculty: Professors here are among the most educated in the world, having completed their Ph.D. from the best universities globally. There is no limit to the knowledge at IIT Kanpur. The semester exams are much more difficult than those of other IITs, and the grading here is also tough.
Other: I chose this branch because it is the only one I am getting according to my rank. The fest is the best thing here, as we enjoy amazing concerts by renowned artists like Sonu Nigam, Badshah, Ritviz, etc.

Very hectic academics, very bad experience with Maths courses really tough, and very hard grading.
Placements: Placements are good, obviously as it is IIT. Overall average package is between 25 LPA to 30 LPA. Branches like CS have an average package of 50 LPA. My branch of chemical engineering has an average of 20 LPA with almost 90% placement rate. Internships are also very good.
Infrastructure: Hostels are not of that good quality, Wi-Fi is good and 24X7 available. Food is not that good if anyone has high expectations from IIT and it is an old IIT. All sports facilities are available on the campus and hostel. All sports equipment and all kinds of sports are available.
Faculty: Courses are tough. There is a perception of people about IIT Kanpur that academics are quite tough and it is true to a certain extend. The first-year mathematics course fees and the grading of professors are really bad. There are also useless courses like Biology, Ethics, and English.

It has really good infrastructure and great professors. Faculty members are highly educated.
Placements: Approximately 86% of students get placed on our campus. Top recruiting companies like  Dr. Reddy's laboratories, Reliance, etc., visit the college for placements. Students chose non-core as well as core fields like SDE, product manager, etc. The highest package is 80 LPA and the lowest package is 8 LPA. The average package is 20 LPA.
Infrastructure: There is 5G high-speed Wi-Fi on our campus. Classrooms are spacious and big. Mess food is just okay and it is not very tasty. The breakfast provided is good. Medical insurance is there, so we can access these medical facilities 24 hours and it is cost-free.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is good. The course curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are really difficult and it is conducted in one week. Mid-semester exams are done and within one month from the start of college quizzes start to happen. It has a C+-centric grading.
Other: According to my JEE Advanced rank, this branch is available, so I chose this course. Some more interesting courses can be added to the chemical course. 3 types of fests happen in our college, i.e., cultural, technical and sports.

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.

Strict curriculum, good infrastructure, very good placement record with the highest package 4 crore.
Placements: The placement record of IIT Kanpur is great; in the recession, almost all UG students were placed. Companies like Google, Amazon and startups come for placements. In my department, students go into SDE, consultancy, and product management profiles; very few opt for the core profile. Core companies like Dr. Reddy's Lab and Vedanta also come. The average package in chemical engineering is 20 lacs per year. Placement records are very good but internship opportunities in chemical engineering are quite limited. Core companies hire interns; other companies also hire interns, but circuital branches get more preference. Almost 55% of my department students didn't get internships, but the good thing is that almost all got placed.
Infrastructure: It's a residential campus, and hostels are quite good. The food quality is also fine. Different clubs are here based on interest Students can join music club dance club, programming club robotics clubs, etc. We have grounds for different sports, such , cricket, hockey, football, etc. A swimming pool is also available. The hotel itself has playgrounds. You get medical insurance up to Rs 1 lakh per year at IIT Kanpur. The whole campus has Wi-Fi, and all academic buildings and labs have air conditioning. All classrooms have projector. All labs are good and well maintained.
Faculty: Professors are well qualified with Ph.D.s and postdocs from recognized universities. You can clear your doubts in class, or you can visit the professor's office or lab. The curriculum is updated every 10 years. Review council forms and make necessary changes to the curriculum. All labs are mandatory, so students have practical knowledge. We have 1 midterm exam and 2–8 quizzes generally taken; they may be surprise or unannounced. If you attend regular lectures, you will definitely score well. The grading system is relatively simple.
Other: 3 major festivals are conducted every year: 1. Antaragni (Media and culture fest) 2. Udghosh (Sports fest) 3. Techkriti (Technology and Entrepreneurship fest) .

Q:   How can I get admission to IIT Kanpur for BTech?
A: 

Admission to the BTech programme is completely entrance exam-based, i.e., based on JEE Main followed by JEE Advanced scores. Candidates seeking admission to BTech can not get admission to IIT Kanpur with only the scores of JEE Main. JEE Advanced followed by JoSAA counselling is the only selection criteria followed by the institute. However, to be eligible for the BTech programme, students are required to have passed their Class 12 with at least 75% aggregate with Science subjects (i.e., Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics). 

AskShikshaGPT on App
Q:   Is there a provision of pursuing an integrated BTech degree at IIT Kanpur?
A: 

Yes, IIT Kanpur also offers an option of a dual degree, i.e., Bachelors-Masters Dual Degree to the students. A student earns both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree at the end of this five-year course. The dual degree programme has three categories:

  • Category A: In this case, both degrees are in the same discipline/department. Example: BTech-M Tech.
  • Category B: This is a two-discipline/ department programme where the bachelor’s degree is in the parent discipline/ department and the master’s degree is in a different discipline/ department. Thus, three combinations are possible in this category, ex: BTech-M Tech, BTech-MS and BTech-MDes. Students can choose any one of the aforementioned combinations. 
  • Category C: In this case, the bachelor’s degree is in the parent discipline/ department and the master’s degree is MBA. Ex: BTech-MBA.
