Review of IIT Kanpur - Indian Institute of Technology.

Placements: Placements of IIT Kanpur are very good. Everyone is provided with resources and knowledge for getting offers for placements. Every now and then different companies are invited to let us know about the prerequisites to get internships and placements.

Infrastructure: In the hostel, library, and classrooms, Wi-Fi is always available. They are very clean and hygienic. Even food tastes like home-made food. Sports and game facilities are available to interested students. We can also develop games by joining clubs which teach these things.

Faculty: Teachers are very learned people in terms of knowledge as well and they are always available to help us. Academics are tough here but can be handled with a little bit of discipline and management. Semester exams are mostly moderate to tough. The grading system is also good.

Other: I chose this course because I am interested in things that are taught in this course. Events and fests are very pompous and crowded which I find very enjoying. Different types of clubs are there to strengthen their interest and ensure confidence.

Overall, a very nice college. If you are able to get a circuital branch here, it's good.

Placements: This year the placements went very well across all branches. In total about 900-1000 students got placed. In civil, about 60-70% of students got placed. The highest packages offered were 3.6cr (PPO) and 2.6cr. Our institute has a cap of 10 lakh for the companies. So, the lowest package will be 10 lakh, and the average was about 25 lakh. Top recruiting companies were BPCL, etc. Internships were somewhat lower from this branch. Top roles offered were SDE, data analyst and consultant.

Infrastructure: Every department has common faculty buildings and lecture halls that are completely air-conditioned as well as proper Wi-Fi connection. Also, library is a good place to study. Our hostels have average infrastructure as they are old but the quality of food in the mess and canteens is very good. Also, hostels have different grounds for sport activities.

Faculty: The professors here are well qualified. They teach well. Regular lectures and tutorials occur and they are coursewise. From the second year, the core courses start to be related to the respective industry. Academics are kind of tough here. Professors sometimes don't give good grades. About 10-20% of the students get a failing grade.

Other: I chose it in JoSAA counselling. I wish the core culture of civil must be improved here. There are 3 fests and a lot of other events on the campus, which helps us in our overall development.

Great college life and a great start to your career.

Placements: 85% of students got placed. The highest package is about 50 LPA, and the least is about 6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are BHEL, NTPC, and AECOM, and the roles offered are structural engineer, site engineer, and project manager. About 70% of students got internships in civil engineering.

Infrastructure: The facilities, like labs, classrooms, and libraries, are fully furnished and have central AC. Hostel rooms are typical sarkari hostels and are old buildings with small rooms. The mess food is average, but canteen food is good. Other facilities like medical, sports, and cultural are excellent.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. We have the most flexible curriculum and can even do courses in other departments and get minors and majors in them. The courses of the civil department are great and definitely make us industry ready. The exams are a little difficult, but mostly people pass; grades might get compromised.

Excellent infrastructure and facilities, well-defined curriculum with great faculty.

Placements: In the civil department, there are 104 registered students, out of which 72 students are placed. This results in a placement rate of 69.2%. Some recruiting companies include Microsoft India, Google India, Amazon, Zomato, Tata Projects Limited, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Merilytics, American Express, and Reliance Industries Limited. The top roles offered are IT Analyst, Senior Business Analyst, Market Analyst, Software Engineer, Graduate Engineer Trainee, and Manager. The highest package is 96 LPA, the lowest package is 10 LPA, and the average package is 16.3 LPA. Approximately 10 to 12 percent of students got internships in companies like Microsoft India, Cisco, Standard Chartered, and American Express.

Infrastructure: The faculties in the civil department are excellent, and the infrastructure is also very good. However, there is no Wi-Fi in the civil department labs. The classroom infrastructure is impressive, with high-speed Wi-Fi available in classrooms and the P.K. Kelkar Library, which has a peaceful environment and a large collection of books. The seating available for study is more than sufficient and comfortable. The quality of facilities in the hostel is above average, and the food quality in my hostel is generally very good. There is a small gym area in my hostel, but not in other hostels. Medical facilities are extremely good, and sports and games are also excellent, with coaches available for all sports. The coaches ensure that every sports student practices regularly.

Faculty: The faculty is extremely good, helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is also excellent, and the course curriculum is relevant. It prepares students for the infrastructure industry and also enhances their skills in other areas. There are sufficient courses available for knowledge about computer science so that students can build a strong foundation to apply in tech companies. The semester exams are very difficult, and while there is relative grading, the pass percentage in hard courses is approximately 20%. This is why some students receive F grades, and it can be challenging for an average student to achieve a CGPA above 7.

Other: I chose this course because of my JEE rank. The best thing about civil engineering is that there are many more government vacancies available compared to other branches. I don't have any particular improvements I wish to see in my course as the curriculum is sufficient. However, the percentage of placements has recently decreased compared to past years due to fewer infrastructure companies participating in campus placements, which has led students to apply off-campus. I request those companies to participate in campus placements. The events, fests, campus crowd, and extracurricular activities are managed by students, which improves connectivity among students. The campus is surrounded by greenery, and there is negligible pollution. Some scholarships are provided by the college based on students' financial conditions and merits.

Number 1 in academics and the best place for overall development.

Placements: The placement is very nice. Most everyone gets placed. The student placement office of IITK helps every student. The highest package was Rs 4 crore. The average package was around Rs 30 lakh. Around 50% of students get internship opportunities at various companies.

Infrastructure: The campus is very beautiful, big and lush green. The classrooms are air-conditioned and big. The labs are also very good. Wi-Fi is available 24/7 in hostels. The library is also very big. Also, there are computer labs for self-study. The food quality is also good.

Faculty: The teachers are highly talented and knowledgeable. Their quality is very good. However, the course is old. It is not aligned with the modern needs of the industry. However, overall, the course is nice. The exams are not very difficult and can be cleared by studying a week before.

Other: This is the best college in terms of academics.
