First, clear the CAT, then think about this college.

Faculty: The course curriculum is very rigorous and depends on the student's requirements. The course consists of 4 semesters. The faculty have a great subjective knowledge that they pass on to the students. They are all very experienced in teaching management. There is 1 faculty member for every 25 students. The exams are very hard, but subject-based.

Dissatisfied because of faculty members.

Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and knowledgeable but they are not much helpful. They became angry if students asked about their doubts. The teaching quality is good but the behaviour of faculty members is not acceptable. Only few curriculum activities are conducted.

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.

Faculty: In this course, faculty is very good and manages the organisation to follow the rules and regulations of the college. 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.

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.
