Overall, satisfaction with the campus is high.
Placements: I am here to give an idea about the placement of an M.Sc. Chemistry student: It's pathetic; only 2 companies came by, and there was no placement for any student. Apart from this, if you want to do a Ph.D. from abroad, then this is the best place for you. Internships are not provided by the college; we had to find internships on our own. The percentage of students who got internships from my batch is, sadly, 2%.
Infrastructure: The facilities provided in the room are very nice, and the workers are also very good; they are available to clean the room. The mess also functions very nicely; it is very clean, and pest control happens often. The registration process was easy, and affordability is also very nice. Inter-hostel visits are also allowed, which means boys can come to girls' hostel and vice versa. Sports and extracurricular activities are so good that all of these provide quite a good opportunity for the student to explore themselves.
Faculty: The Chemistry faculty at IIT Kanpur highly qualified faculty members, and they are stringent about the timing of quizzes and exams. Exams are given to you at the start of the course and held on that date and time. Exams aren't overly difficult to pass, but if you want to top, then you have to study a little bit harder. But as we know, academics don't really matter a lot; we just have to maintain a good GPA.
Other: Techkriti, Antaragni, and Udghosh are prominent festivals celebrated on campus.

Library is very big and having all types of book. 2. Food in mess is also good. Canteen is superb. You get all types of indian food in canteen. We have a hospital with 24 hours facilities.
Faculty: 1. teachers are all very intelligent and very good. They help us every time. Teaching quality is very good. They teach us very carefully. The course is very relevant and advance it help us in researching in the lab. 2. In our institute, the only focus is on research. Industry based curriculum.
Other: 1. Chemistry is a good subject. It has lots of scope in every part of life. This institution is the no 1 institute in our country. 2. The campus is very good and well maintained. Total big 3 fests occurred in a year in this place.
