IITK is one of the best institutes in the country. The only drawback is the location.
Placements: Placement cells are quite active in the institute but PhD students don't enrol in placement as they are more interested in academics, so they try for Postdoc fellowship, from some better institute. Placements are not so active for PhD candidates but still we receive mails in the case of a vacancy in some industry or institute
Infrastructure: The department maintains a very vibrant academic atmosphere through various academic initiatives. There is a regular stream of Visitors to the department, both for the long term and short term, resulting in collaborative research, interactions and seminars. The following are regular academic activities of the department: A colloquium (once a week), A department seminar (at least once a week), An analysis seminar (twice a month). Sometimes, special seminar series are organised, for example, a series of lectures based on the work of the Fields’ Medallists in 2010-2011 was organized by inviting experts. In addition, a number of conferences, workshops and schools have also been organized by the faculty of the department over the years, both at IIT Kanpur and elsewhere. Infrastructure for seminars: There are three seminar halls in our department.
Faculty: IITK Faculty IIT Kanpur's faculty are among the best in the world in their areas of interest. They impart an education for exceptional careers in engineering and related fields. The faculty have made significant research contributions to pure science, engineering, humanities and management fields while empowering the next generation of students with a world-class education.
