My honest college experience.
Placements: The percentage of students placed is 90%. The highest package in our college is ₹90 LPA in 2025. The lowest package is ₹10 LPA. The average package in our college is ₹20 LPA. Top recruiting companies in our college include Microsoft, Google, Adobe, Tech Mahindra, Goldman Sachs, and many more.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available for the course include an R&D center, AC classrooms, a world-class library, Wi-Fi, a conference hall, and many more. The hostel facilities are quite amazing. The hostel provides food four times a day. The hostel also includes a gym, a sports room, and many more facilities.
Faculty: Teachers at IIT Kanpur are highly qualified and educated professors who provide us with practical industrial exposure. The course curriculum is designed to make students industry-ready. The professors at IIT are lenient with their checking. It is easy to score a 9+ CGPA in the college semester exams.

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.
