IIT is waiting for immense opportunities, just work hard to get in.
Placements: We are a batch of 50 students, out of whom 26 are placed this year in roles such as data analyst, data scientist, and finance, with the highest package of 35 LPA. IIT Kanpur has the record of 100 percent placement in the Statistics department last year. Students who got internship opportunities in summers received PPOs.
Infrastructure: The course structure is designed in a way that makes us industry-ready. We have data sciences labs, R programming, Java, and C languages in our course. The infrastructure in IITs is designed in a way that students get all their basic needs completed on campus itself. The sports grounds for all sports are available.
Faculty: The curriculum is designed in such a way that we get practical knowledge with theory. Regular lab sessions are taken by the teachers in which we gain industry work experience. The exams are not very easy, so one may not pass with just one night of studying. We have four-month semesters in which weekends are off, so we have to cover a huge syllabus in a short period of time, which increases the difficulty level.
Other: The life in the hostel is memorable for everyone, but IITK makes it more special by giving freedom on campus.

Information of this sort would be available on the website. Link: http://www.iitk.ac.in/. However it is likely to change every year but the changes would not be drastic.
