It has really good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: Around 70% of students get placed in my course of material science and engineering. The average package is around 17 LPA. Prominent recruiters include Tata Steel, Reliance Industries, Larsen and Toubro, and Infosys. Internship opportunities are less in this course.
Infrastructure: We have modern classrooms with smart boards, projectors, and comfortable seating. IIT Kanpur has one of the largest technical libraries in India known as PK Kelkar library. We have access to high-speed internet all over the campus. The quality of food in the mess and canteen is amazing.
Faculty: IIT Kanpur has highly qualified faculty members. They are known to be highly knowledgeable and research-driven. Professors here set a very tough exam paper but if we attend the class regularly and listen carefully to the things the professor has taught in the class, it won't be that tough.

A really good campus life with good placement and strong alumni network.
Placements: More than 70% of students are placed in this course. The highest package was 90 LPA, the lowest was 9 LPA, and the average was around 21 LPA. Most of the offers accepted by students are from 15-20 LPA. BNY MELLON, BLITZ, FEDX, AUXOAI, ACCENTURE SOLUTIONS, MASTERCARD, NINE EDUCATION, SVAYA ROBOTICS, NPCI, IXIGO, CARS24, and VEDANTA FPL TECHNOLOGIES are top recruiters for this course. Around 50% of students got internships from the companies mentioned above. The top roles offered are analyst, IT engineer, and senior faculty.
Infrastructure: We got 24/7 high-speed Wi-Fi and clean labs with all the required instruments. Classrooms are fully equipped with air conditioning and smartboards, and we have lecture halls with capacities ranging from 60 to 600. The library is a major attraction and is really vast, containing many books, and it's good for self-study as well. The food available in the hostel is really good, and the medical facilities are also good with all the necessary accessories and an ambulance. Sports facilities are decent with accessories for most sports.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and helpful and have vast knowledge about the subject. Teaching quality is also good, but for some teachers, the pace is too high to grasp things properly. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes the student industry-ready for that sector of jobs. For first-year semester exams, they are tough, but after that, exams become relatively easy.

Absolutely satisfied with the college and its academics.
Placements: Around 70-80 percent of students get placed. Core sector companies do come, but the salary offered ranges around 8-12 LPA. There are plenty of opportunities in non-core sectors, and you can get into various non-core roles in analytics, IT, and consulting. If you are not too poor, then you can easily get placed.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is just awesome. Although some rooms are small, it's above average. The mess food is okay, if not good. In the first year, you are supposed to study common subjects like physics, engineering mathematics, basic programming, and engineering drawing. In the second year onward, you read your own core subjects.
Faculty: The faculties are mostly good, but some are really bad. Mostly, if you reach out to them for help, they will reply positively. In IITK, the course curriculum is one of the most flexible ones. Around 50 percent of your coursework allows you to choose, and you can take courses from other departments as well.

Review of Material Science Engineering, IIT Kanpur.
Placements: More than 60 percent of students in my course are placed. The highest package is around 40 Lacs, the lowest package is around 0 to 5 Lacs, and the average package is around 15 Lacs. There aren't many core companies that come for placements at IIT Kanpur, so students often take internships with non-core companies like software, data, and consulting. Few roles are offered in core fields.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, AC, and drinking water are available in classrooms, labs, the library, and department areas. Classrooms have projectors and switchboards. Mess food is good, the canteen is also good, and the quality depends on the hall you live in. There is a health center on campus that provides free medicine and good facilities when we become sick. There are many sports and games available, and you can access all of them.
Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, but some are not suited for teaching, so students often rely on reference books or YouTube. The course curriculum is relevant, but I feel some courses are not useful. You need to study extra during free periods to be industry-ready. Professors decide the difficulty level of exams, and the pass percentage in my course is more than acceptable.
Other: I chose this course because I got a better branch in a good college. There aren't many standout features of my course compared to other courses. Labs could be better equipped, and the department building could be improved. There are three fests a year, and there are 1,200 students in a B.Tech first-year batch, so the campus is quite crowded. The surroundings are near the outskirts, and you can see pan parag outside the campus. Scholarships are available based on eligibility. Extracurricular activities include clubs, societies, and fests.

Pros and cons of IIT Kanpur.
Placements: The Students' Placement Office (SPO) of IIT Kanpur is the primary point of contact for the recruiting companies visiting the institute. This year, around 75% of a batch of roughly 85 students from the MSE UG batch were placed. The major companies hiring were Vedanta and JSW Steel for the core profile and firms like American Express, Axxela, and Brain and Co. for the financial analyst profile. The median salary was 1600000 PA (CTC). For the internship drive this year, Vedanta had dominated among the other companies for the core roles.
Infrastructure: There is a strong focus on research and innovation in my department, with labs for SEM, TEM, microscopy and other interdisciplinary centers. All the hostels on campus have basketball courts and volleyball courts with floodlights. The mess food at my hostel (Hall 2) is of good quality and we get fruits like watermelon and mangoes in the summers. There is high-speed Wi-Fi available throughout the campus, with speeds up to 5 GHz.
Faculty: All the faculty members of the institute have pursued their PhDs and postdoctoral research from prestigious universities of the world and they go out of their way to help us navigate our challenges during our time here. The course template is reviewed every ten years and any UG student can opt for interesting electives like machines learning, cryptography, cognitive sciences, etc. The academic flexibility provided to the students here is immense and a student can opt for a branch change not only after their 2nd semester but also after their 3rd or 4th semesters but can do so only once. One can also pursue minor or double major programs in any other department subject to a minimum academic criteria in branches like CSE, EE, Economic Sciences, etc.
Other: I had chosen this programme primarily because of the institute, IIT Kanpur, which is consistently ranked among the top five colleges in the country. The annual cultural fest, Antaragni, is held in the month of October and the technical fest, Techkriti, is one of the most creative fests on technology among the engineering colleges in India and is held in the month of March each year. One thing that the department lags behind is young professors, which I think is primarily because of the relatively remote location of our campus.
