IIT Kanpur Campus. You will definitely learn a lot from your 4 years here. Explore the campus.

Faculty: Professors are really very helpful. You can ask doubts during their lectures. They are also available outside the lecture hall once the class is over. They also have dedicated office hours for students. Tutors are assigned to a section of students to clarify doubts regarding the assignment problems given to students for homework. The pass percentage is average, and some courses have very bad pass percentages. It is around 35% for some courses. Professors are really good, except for some boring i...

Home away from home, though getting high CPI here is a bit tough.

Faculty: Professors are incredibly smart and know their stuff inside out though some can be a bit strict with grading. The teaching quality is quite rigorous. The Economics curriculum here isn't just theory it is very mathematical and focuses heavily on econometrics and data analysis which makes it highly relevant if you want to go into data science or financial analytics.

IIT Kanpur - A tough balance of stressful academics, stress-relieving events, and campus crowd.

Faculty: Faculty members here are good. They are well-trained, and they know a lot in their field of interest. The course curriculum is definitely pretty hard here. Semester exams are pretty hard, and the grading part is pretty harsh. Although student councils try well to get the professors to do better grading, if students are struggling too much.

Best internships and placements, good faculty. Good infrastructure and facilities.

Faculty: Professors are very well qualified for the courses they teach, and they are knowledgeable. Most of them have completed their Ph.D. from foreign universities. The course curriculum is based on pure mathematics and its applications in scientific computing. However, it remains more focused on the pure mathematics side. It could be made more relevant to the job market. Semester exams are generally moderate to difficult. Professors' grading is strict. The pass percentage depends on the professor.

IIT Kanpur College review.

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.

In this college, professors and teachers with high level qualifications are present, and the best quality of teaching knowledge is available. This exam was very difficult, but this college provides some important questions to be asked in the exam.

IIT Kanpur is about admission, campus, faculty, students, and exams.

Faculty: The course curriculum is relevant and good. But the college enforces many rules and regulations that students must follow compulsorily. In this college, attendance of 75% or above is compulsory to attend the practical and theoretical exams. The exams are not difficult because internal marks are included.

The best four years that I will spend.

Dissatisfied because of faculty members.
