Review of Earth Science Department, IIT Kanpur.
Placements: Around 25 percent of students will get placed. The highest package will be around 30 lacs, the lowest will be below 5 lacs, and the average will be around 12 lacs. Recruiting companies will be NGO's. Internships will be for around 20 percent of students. The roles offered will be geoscientist, hydrologist, and related to climate change.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi will be available almost everywhere in college. The labs, Classrooms and library will have AC. Classrooms consist of Wi-Fi, AC, switch boards, projectors, big screens or boards. Hostels vary from each other; some will be okay and some will be good. Food will be okay, and the canteen runs for 12 hours beginning in the afternoon. The health center is open 24 hours a day and will be provided with free medicine. We are available for many sports and games but we have to know time management.
Faculty: Teachers will be good. All will be qualified but not everyone's teaching will be good. Except for a few courses, the course content is relevant. Extra work should be done by students to get ready for industry. Semester exam level depends on professor but grading is hard compared to other IIT's. Pass percentage also depends on professor but hardly 15 percent of students fail.
Other: I chose this course for IIT Kanpur as it is one of the oldest IITs. My course has separate buildings, well-structured labs, and some field trips. This course strength should be increased to bring more companies for placements of some kind to students. Events happen in college in clubs, societies, and cells. Earth science itself has a society. This should be developed. We have 3 festivals a year. We have college scholarships and can also avail of other scholarships.

IIT life is going to be the best part of one's life.
Placements: The students in M.Tech usually don't apply for the core companies. They apply in Tech companies and companies prefer B.Tech students over M.Tech students. Out of all the students only 3 students got placed in this placement season in which the highest package was 23 Lacs and the lowest was 9 Lacs.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure in IIT is world class. Library is open till midnight, students lounge is available till 4:00 AM and new core lab is opened till 2:00 AM where students are provided with computers. M.Tech students are provided with their separate labs.
Faculty: M.Tech students have course work in their first year only and in the second year of the course, they just have their thesis work to do. They are given stipend of 14000 per month. In the duration of two years they are provided with opportunities of attending conferences on national and international levels.
Other: The campus life at IIT is a wonderful part of one's life as there are no restrictions in the campus and boys and girls are allowed in each other’s hostels.
