    IIT Kanpur College review.
    Placements: In our senior batch, 55 out of 70 students have secured placements so far, with an average package of 15 LPA as a base. The big names hiring include Microsoft, Intel, Flipkart, and Saplabs, among others. As for the roles, we are talking about SDE, data scientists, and cybersecurity engineers. The highest package is 60 LPA.
    Infrastructure: The campus comprises all the required academic and research buildings, a central library, well-equipped labs, and classrooms that have Wi-Fi accessibility. In addition to this, students may use the residential facilities and dining halls. The hostel accommodation is generally considered satisfactory. The food in the mess is middling, and the health center is staffed with medical professionals who are there to help if someone falls sick.
    Faculty: The teaching staff comprises faculty members who possess good qualifications and have sufficient knowledge. They are very creative in their activities, and this attracts listeners. They are using the method of storytelling and participating in discussions to explain the concepts. The curriculum is on point and perfectly suitable. Otherwise, students who are well-covered in the concepts are mostly good at finding ways to clear the exams.

    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.

    Review of IIT Kanpur - Indian Institute of Technology.
    Placements: In our senior batch, 55 out of 70 are placed right now, with an average package of 15 LPA (Base). Top recruiting companies were Microsoft, Intel, Flipkart, Saplabs etc. Top roles were SDE, Data Scientist, Cybersecurity Engineer etc. The highest package offered was 60 LPA.
    Infrastructure: We have high-speed IITK Wi-Fi network available all over the campus. Infrastructure of our department is top-notch. Labs are air-conditioned and well-equipped with printers, computers, and other required setups. Hostel rooms have all the major facilities. We have a cupboard, table, chair, etc. Mess food is good and has all varieties. The health center is open 24/7. Sports and games facilities are exceptional. We have football and cricket grounds, squash and badminton halls, carrom and chess boards, yoga room, wall climbing facility, etc.
    Faculty: The faculty members of IIT Kanpur are very experienced in their fields. The environment here is research-oriented and a rich culture of innovation is present. The course curriculum is relevant. All courses are electives. We can choose all courses on our own, according to interest and industry preference. Semester exams are difficult. Pass percentage varies from course to course.
    Other: There are three major fests in IIT Kanpur- Antaragini, the cultural fest, Udghosh, the sports fest, and Techkriti, the technical fest. These days of fests are just amazing. We get a 12400 stipend for teaching assistantship. We have to spend 3 hours per week for solving coding doubts of students.

    M.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering - Batch of 2022

    Absolutely satisfied because it's a college environment.
    Placements: Very few opportunities for internship during the course. Placements for the aerospace department are on the lower side if you are looking to get placed in core aerospace companies. Even those core companies don't hire students with a Bachelor's degree. So mostly B.Tech students convert their programme to a dual degree course and go for placements with M.Tech degrees. Airbus, Eaton, and Mercedes are some of the core companies that recruit the students at this college. Apart from that, a large portion of students get placed in non-core companies that offer coding and data analytics jobs.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructural assets like academic building and library is good. But as far as facilities are concerned, unlimited Wi-Fi is available for all students. The library is good, and it is open from 8 AM to 11:59 PM daily except on Sunday. On Sunday, it will be closed at 5 PM. Classrooms are also well-equipped with all the facilities required for teaching. All the lecture halls are air-conditioned, but all the tutorial halls are not air-conditioned. Hostel-1 to hostel-11 are not that good in terms of furniture as they are old, and 12 and 13 hostels are recently built and are very good with lift facility. Food offered in the mess of hall 10 is mostly good except for 1 or 2 days a week. The canteen is quite economical, and the only drawback of the canteen is its timings. It is open from 2 PM to 2 AM.
    Faculty: Teachers in the aerospace department are highly educated, and most of them have completed their PhDs from IITs or reputed foreign universities. Some of the professors of this department comes under the list of top 2% scientists released by Stanford University. But the problem is that they are not good as they cannot explain concepts in an efficient way. Their teaching methodology is not as good as expected from the professors in a college like IIT Kanpur. The faculty to student ratio is good. The classroom never looks like an overcrowded one. The course curriculum is useful, and even the industrial exposure is also good as seminars are conducted frequently by the people working in industries. Exams are really tough even though when some of the exams are open book/note, but relative marking is their.
    Other: I have chosen this course for placements in non core companies. Only thing is to be improved is the placements in core companies. A lot of fests and events organised in IIT Kanpur are organised by counselling service and other groups like Udghosh, Antaragini and many others. The connectivity from campus to city is good. Our campus is very beautiful with a lot of greenery. All the students use bicycles to travel within campus which is a very good thing. All kinds of extracurricular activities are being carried by various clubs and societies.

    Good placements at IIT Kanpur.
    Placements: The top roles were Data scientist, MSE Core, SDE, etc. The top companies that visited the campus were Bajaj, Jaguar Landrover, etc. All the students had an option to opt for placements or go for research. Those who are interested in research can go abroad also. Most of the students who are interested in research can get a role easily because of the college tag.
    Infrastructure: The department is so good. The rooms and classroom are well-equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi. The lab is well-equipped with high-tech instruments, and all the lab equipment is present. The courses are taught very well. Practical knowledge is well-emphasized.
    Faculty: The faculty members are supportive. The exams are not very tough if you study sincerely. All the questions asked are of normal difficulty. You can go to the professor's office also if you have any doubts and want to discuss anything with the professor. The course content is matched with the industry-level knowledge.
