B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering - Batch of 2026

5.0

IIT Kanpur is about admission, campus, faculty, students, and exams.

Placements: This college provides placement facilities. Every year, the placement cell is organized for many departments of students. The college offers courses for both IT and non-IT jobs. Companies provide packages ranging from 4 LPA to 20 LPA for average students.

Infrastructure: This college provides good facilities such as fast Wi-Fi, Ethernet connections, labs, computers, CCTV, lifts, a campus canteen, and water purifier machines. Sports committees organize many sports and game tournaments, and gym facilities are also available.

Faculty: The course curriculum is relevant and good. But the college enforces many rules and regulations that students must follow compulsorily. In this college, attendance of 75% or above is compulsory to attend the practical and theoretical exams. The exams are not difficult because internal marks are included.

Dissatisfied because of faculty members.

Placements: The highest package is 9 LPA, and the average package is 7 LPA. The lowest package is 4 LPA. About 60% of the students got placed in our batch. Many reputed companies reached our college campus for recruitment, and several students got internships.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and labs are average and not cleaned on a daily basis. The quality of food available in the mess and canteen is not acceptable. Wi-Fi facilities are only for faculty members. The hostel rooms are not so comfortable and very small. Sports and medical facilities are available.

Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and knowledgeable but they are not much helpful. They became angry if students asked about their doubts. The teaching quality is good but the behaviour of faculty members is not acceptable. Only few curriculum activities are conducted.

The culture here is nice, but academics are a bit hectic.

Placements: Approximately 80% of students get placed. The highest package is around 2.25 crore per annum. The minimum package is 10 LPA in 2024. The top recruiting companies for our course are Optiver and Google. Internship percentage is about 15%. Students do internships in companies like Google and Nvidia. The top roles offered are PIO-PPO.

Infrastructure: We have high-speed Wi-Fi in our hostels, classrooms, and labs. The infrastructure for EE is a bit old, as it is one of the oldest branches, but it's fine. Labs are working well. The quality of food in hostels is fine. Sports here are top tier. Medical facilities are also good.

Faculty: Professors are very well qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum is very relevant, and it makes students both office-wise and industry-wise ready. Semester exams are a bit tough, and mostly, the pass percentage is 25%.

Other: I chose this course because I had an interest in EE. Placements were good in EE. It should improve labs and theoretical classes, and be able to make everyone understand it.

Review of Electrical engineering IIT Kanpur.

Placements: 80 to 90% of students are placed in my course. The highest package is 1 CPA, the lowest package is 10 LPA, and the average package is 21 LPA. Top companies include Tata Motors, Qualcomm, and Texas. The percentage of students getting internships is less than those getting placements. Top roles offered are in VLSI, SPCom, RF & Microwave, Power Engineering, and Control & Automation. Some students usually go for non-core jobs and higher studies.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is present in most places inside the campus. My labs are well-equipped and have good ventilation. Classrooms have switchboards, AC, projectors, and good chairs. The library has AC, good chairs, and a vast number of books related to my course. You can also borrow any book for a few days. Food in the mess is okayish and a bit better in the canteen. The health center is open 24 hours and provides a range of medicines.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful if you express your doubts. However, not all teachers are fit for teaching; you can often learn those courses through YouTube. The course curriculum is relevant, but extra effort is needed to be industry-ready. The difficulty level of semester exams depends on the professor, but grading may not be very good in the case of many professors. The pass percentage also depends on students' behavior in class.

Other: I am afraid of Maths but fond of Physics, so I choose Electrical Engineering, and IIT Kanpur is a plus point. Placement and internship opportunities are high in my branch, as it is a core branch. There is nothing to improve in my course. We can participate in many extracurricular activities, which is important at IIT. There are three big fests, more crowd, and connectivity increases by participating in extracurricular activities. Scholarships like NSP, DONOR, FBM, etc., are available.

If you are confused about the branch, choose IIT Kanpur.

Placements: Around 85% of people who sit in placement get jobs. The highest package varies year to year; last year it was 4.3 CPR, but this year it is 2.4 CPR. The lowest package goes to 9 LPA, and the average is around 20 LPA. Many companies are recruiting from IIT Kanpur, like Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Optver, Graviton, and Quadeye. In my batch 120/196, I got an internship opportunity. The top role from my branch is at Optiver Amsterdam with a stipend of 36 LPA.

Infrastructure: All the necessary amenities are there in my depth, like labs Wi-Fi classroom libraries and faculty members are also highly educated. Hostel facility are good; its like living in a hotel. food is good and the medical facilities are also awesome; there is a separate hospital in campus itself.

Faculty: All the professors are really good in nature; they are really humble. They are really smart and intelligent. The curriculum in electrical engineering is more likely to focus on machine learning and VLSI. The examination toughness level is also high as compared to other IITs. There are no fixed passing marks; it depends on proof.

Other: I like things that use electricity, so I chose electrical engineering for my career. It would be better if they included some CSE courses in the compulsory courses. Talking about the festivals, IITK has 3 major festivals: Antaragni, Techkriti, and Udghose. Fests are really awesome.

IIT Kanpur - The Dream College.

Placements: In my course, around 95 percent of students are placed every year. The batch size in Electrical Engineering is around 192 students, and the highest package offered in 2023 was 2.1 crores. Average package goes around 27 LPA. The top recruiters are Google, Facebook, Mera, Goldman Sachs, TCS, Amazon, and quant companies. Almost 70 percent of students get internships in reputed companies like Wipro, Infosys, TCS, etc. The major roles offered are Consultant, Software Development Executive, Data Scientist, etc.

Infrastructure: The hostel is pretty good, and all the basic facilities are available here, just the quality and taste of the mess food is something that could be improved upon. Also, medical facilities are readily available here and that too of good quality. A number of sports events and competitions are conducted frequently to keep the students energetic and cheerful.

Faculty: Faculty of my course is pretty well-versed with their subjects, and they know what they are teaching. Also, exams are conducted on a given time schedule and are of a pretty good level; the pass percentage is usually around 10 to 12 percent owing to the difficulty of the paper.

Other: It was the best course and college combination that I was able to achieve by dint of my JEE Advance Rank. I wish that the Department of Electrical Engineering had a new building because it is a very old constructed building and it would be much better. The fests of IIT Kanpur are one of the best fests in India. And campus community is amazing, and everyone is always ready to help others. Also, a number of scholarships are also awarded.

Life at Institute of Technology Kanpur.

Placements: More than 90% of the students sitting for placements get placed in Phase I and it increases to 97–99% till the last phase. The highest package offered for placement season 2023-2024 was 1.37 crores and the average is 26.27 LPA. In my course, people target different roles such as SDE (software development engineer), investment banking, and core job roles. About 80% of people from my course got internships at companies such as Goldman Sachs, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Amazon, and Google.

Infrastructure: High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus. The lecture halls are big and spacious, with large screens for the professors to use to teach. The library is the go-to place to study before major exams and quizzes and is well-equipped with all the resources. Hostels are decent except for plumbing issues in some areas. Sports facilities are also provided inside the residential halls.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and very enthusiastic to help. Teaching is only beneficial if students put in their hours outside of class to study, as academics are a bit rigorous. The course curriculum is highly relevant and makes the students industry-ready. Semester exams are quite hectic and depend on the nature of the specific course.
