B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2026

Offered by IIT Kanpur - Indian Institute of Technology

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Review from undergraduate of IIT Kanpur.

Placements: I am in the mechanical engineering department of IIT Kanpur. There are 150 students in my department. More than 1,200 students are placed in my batch for the year 2022. The highest package is 4 crores per annum and the lowest package ranges from 6-8 LPA. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Nvidia, Texas Instruments, and Adobe are some big companies that visit the college for placements. Around 50 to 60% of students got internships on the campus. Companies that came for internships are mostly the same who came for placements here. Roles like software, core, finance, data analytics, etc., are offered.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good here. It provides big lecture halls with all the facilities and labs with all the facilities. It has a huge library with every book we need to study. We will get every facility in the hostel itself like a canteen and mess. The quality of food is also good here. For medical facilities, we have a health center here where we can go if we have any problems. Sports facilities are also good here. We have three big grounds for hockey, cricket, and football. It has a sports complex for indoor games like badminton, table tennis, yoga, etc.

Faculty: Faculty members of IIT Kanpur are highly educated. Their teaching quality is pretty good and it also depends on faculty to faculty. The course curriculum is a bit difficult here, and it will make us ready for any industry. Semester exams are not that difficult, and if we study we can achieve good marks or good grades in our courses. Grading is relevant here so I cannot say the exact percentage where we will be passing in any course. At 30%, we will be considered as passed in every course.

Other: I chose the B.Tech in mechanical department course because it is better than all the other options and I got it through my rank. I do not think there is anything to improve, and everything is good here. Many events are conducted on campus just like fests. We have two or three major festivals like an annual technical, an annual cultural festival, and a sports fest. The annual technical first name is Techkriti, the annual cultural fest name is Antaragni, and the annual sports fest name is Udghosh. Connectivity is moderate. We have a metro line just outside the campus so if we want to go anywhere we can use that. We have a scholarship on MCM where students' tuition fee is waived if their annual parental income is less than 6 lakhs. There are many extracurricular activities like sports, fine, arts, dance, music, etc.

ShikshaGPT says

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.
