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.
