The campus offers excellent facilities and infrastructure.
Placements: Over 75% of students got placed. In the last year, the highest package exceeded was 50 LPA by Microsoft India, and the lowest package was 11 LPA. Top recruiters are mainly from the software and finance sectors, like Microsoft, Adobe, Oracle, and Morgan Stanley, with the best packages. Core companies such as Reliance Industries, Tata Motors, and Jaguar India also recruit students. Being at IIT opens many opportunities beyond our branch, with many students gravitating towards software, finance, and consulting roles, which are currently in high demand.
Infrastructure: The campus has free Wi-Fi everywhere. Academic areas and labs are excellent. It is fully air-conditioned with no power cuts. The library is open 24x7, and other libraries stay open until 2 AM. The living quarters are a downside, especially in summer, which is why I rated it 3 out of 5. Many students prefer spending time in the library. The mess and canteen are average but manageable without having to lower our expectations too much.
Faculty: Academics here are too good, and professors are just good. They are always open to approach with any problems or concepts, or some problems in our curriculum. The course curriculum is completely on point with the course and provides us with all the experience needed. Semester exams are chill with regular studies, we will be able to keep up with them and score a good grade.
Other: The campus culture is really good here at IIT Kanpur. It really opens us to face the outer world. With everything done by students, it teaches us real-life managerial skills as well.

The best four years that I will spend.
Placements: I am from Chemical Engineering, and in my branch, around 80% of students get placed. The highest package offered is 50 LPA, the median is 21 LPA, and the lowest is 8 LPA. The top recruiting company from my branch is Microsoft, offering 50 LPA. The top roles offered are SDE, consulting, and data analytics roles.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility is great, and labs are a bit hectic, but the infrastructure is top-class. The library has an occupancy of around 500 students and is a three-storey building. The infrastructure of hostels is quite old, so in the beginning, it might be difficult to live as there is no AC. The food quality in the mess is better than that of any other engineering college. The health centre at IIT Kanpur provides medicine and treatment completely free of cost. The campus provides facilities for all sorts of games.
Faculty: Professors here are among the most educated in the world, having completed their Ph.D. from the best universities globally. There is no limit to the knowledge at IIT Kanpur. The semester exams are much more difficult than those of other IITs, and the grading here is also tough.
Other: I chose this branch because it is the only one I am getting according to my rank. The fest is the best thing here, as we enjoy amazing concerts by renowned artists like Sonu Nigam, Badshah, Ritviz, etc.

Yes, you can. If you didn't take MHT CET, no worries — your JEE Main or even ICAR AIEEA score can help you out too. Just be sure to apply through the DTE Maharashtra CAP counselling process. You need the eligibility and a score in either of these exams.
