Review of Computer Science Engineering, IIT Kanpur.

Placements: Almost 95 to 99 percent students will be placed in CSE. The highest package is around 2 crore, the lowest is around 15 Lacs, average is around 40 to 45 Lacs. Top recruiting companies are Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Graviton, and many more, with no limit to software and quant companies. Around 90 percent students will get internships. Roles will be software, data analyst, web developer, etc.

Infrastructure: Obviously, CSE has well-infrastructure labs. We have a separate building for CSE students named HR Kadim and RM Building. From the 2nd year, many classes will be held in the RM Building. The library is common for all students. The hostel is common for all students, and my hostel is an old one with a bit small rooms. Food in the mess and canteen is good. The health center is available here, providing a bunch of free medicine and good facilities.

Faculty: Teachers are very good and have high teaching levels. They have done PhDs in foreign countries. The course curriculum is important and very relevant for internships and placements. Courses are well and good, but extra reading should be done for internships and placements. Semester exams will be hard as all students are talented. Pass percentage will be based on proof, and some might be strict.

Other: I have chosen this course because of the good branch in a good IIT. The best things are we have a big building, benefits for internships, placements, etc. Everything in my course is good, with no worries. Many events happen in a year from many clubs, societies, etc. Cultural, sports, and technical fests occur in a year, and more crowd will be present on the campus at these times. The campus surroundings are good, and we have metro access. I don't know much about scholarships. Clubs, societies, fests, and cell are many extracurricular activities.

Review of Material Science Engineering, IIT Kanpur.

Placements: More than 60 percent of students in my course are placed. The highest package is around 40 Lacs, the lowest package is around 0 to 5 Lacs, and the average package is around 15 Lacs. There aren't many core companies that come for placements at IIT Kanpur, so students often take internships with non-core companies like software, data, and consulting. Few roles are offered in core fields.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, AC, and drinking water are available in classrooms, labs, the library, and department areas. Classrooms have projectors and switchboards. Mess food is good, the canteen is also good, and the quality depends on the hall you live in. There is a health center on campus that provides free medicine and good facilities when we become sick. There are many sports and games available, and you can access all of them.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, but some are not suited for teaching, so students often rely on reference books or YouTube. The course curriculum is relevant, but I feel some courses are not useful. You need to study extra during free periods to be industry-ready. Professors decide the difficulty level of exams, and the pass percentage in my course is more than acceptable.

Other: I chose this course because I got a better branch in a good college. There aren't many standout features of my course compared to other courses. Labs could be better equipped, and the department building could be improved. There are three fests a year, and there are 1,200 students in a B.Tech first-year batch, so the campus is quite crowded. The surroundings are near the outskirts, and you can see pan parag outside the campus. Scholarships are available based on eligibility. Extracurricular activities include clubs, societies, and fests.

Review of Earth Science Course, IIT Kanpur.

Placements: No good placements are available in my course as it is almost the last priority for companies. The highest package is around 30 Lacs, the lowest is around 0 to 3 Lacs, and the average is around 10 Lacs. Almost no core companies come to my college for placements and internships. Roles in my course include Geologist, Earth Scientist, and some others. Getting an internship is very hard in my course as it is a low-priority course.

Infrastructure: Labs have AC and are well-equipped. Classrooms and the library are shared by all students and have good infrastructure. The hostel is decent, but my room is small, though adjustable. The food in the mess is good but can sometimes be bad. We have good medical facilities here, and a bunch of free medicine is provided. Many sports and games are available.

Faculty: Teachers are good to some extent in teaching. They are helpful. The course is relevant for core profiles. More effort should be put into internships and placements, but it is hard for BS students to get placed in core companies. Exams are mainly subjective, which can make them feel a bit challenging. The pass percentage in my course is generally good.

Other: I chose this course because of IIT Kanpur. There are no exceptional aspects about my course regarding placements, internships, or guidance. You can connect with campus students by joining clubs, societies, etc. Events frequently happen through clubs, societies, and cells. Fests are technical, sports, and cultural. College scholarships are available, and you can also get scholarships from outside the campus.

Good Infrastructure, Tough Academics.

Placements: Talking about percentage, 80 percent of the total students get placed. The highest package is 2 crore, the lowest is 5 lakhs, and the average is 20 lakhs. Jaguar is one of the top recruiting companies in mechanical engineering. About 35 percent of students got internships.

Infrastructure: Various facilities are available. There is Wi-Fi connection all over the campus 24/7. Various study buildings are available for our branch. Classrooms are spacious, and labs are well-advanced with new equipment. However, hostel facilities are poor, and the food quality is very degraded.

Faculty: Teachers here are called professors. They are much more qualified than the content of the topic and teach at a high level, thinking of us at their own level. The course curriculum is somewhat relevant but not fully. Exams are very difficult.

However, the placement of students is poor.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure of the college are very good for students. The Wi-Fi is free, the labs are filled with all the instruments, and the classes are well maintained. The hostel is average for food, but other facilities are good. The canteen is good for food but also expensive.

Faculty: The teachers are friendly with students in Study topic but the teachers helps us to do good in exam by taking extra classes during exam time. The teachers force the student to score good marks and place in the campus with good skills. The sem exam are easy but the passing percentage of students is 36.
