My Kanpur Institute of technology College Review .

Placements: At the end of the 4th semester, meaning the second year, the college placement cell conducts training for those students who are interested in taking on-campus placements. The college placement cell faculty members are highly qualified and experienced in their field. Approximately 95% of students get on-campus placement. The highest package is 35 LPA, and the lowest is 2 LPA. Wipro, HCL, TCS, and many more companies visit the college for placement drives. The college has the best alumni network. The college helps students to get internships according to their skills, with the best stipend.

Infrastructure: The college is very strict about maintaining rules and regulations. They take strict action against students who break college rules. Campus timing is from 9 AM to 5 PM, and no students are allowed to go outside the campus before college is over. The campus is very big, with lots of facilities provided for the students. Inside the college, there is a 24/7 Wi-Fi facility, a big playground area, indoor sports, etc. The college has three buildings inside the campus for different courses. All the buildings have separate libraries, and the central library is in the main building, which is KIT.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and professional in their subjects. Many of them are Ph.D. holders. The teaching method is excellent; they teach you in a systematic way so that students can understand the topic easily. Teachers conduct weekly tests so that students can revise the concept again and again. The college has now become an Autonomous Institute, which means all the semester exams of all courses are conducted inside the campus, but that doesn't mean you will pass the exams without studying. The college conducts many tests before the semester exams, and internal marks depend on the college exams.

Review of Kanpur Institute of Technology.

Placements: Approximately 90% of students got placed on-campus. Many students also opt for off-campus placements. The top recruiting companies are Tech Mahindra, TCS, and Infosys. The highest salary package offered was 25 LPA. The lowest salary package offered was 2.5 LPA. The average salary package offered was 3.5 LPA. At the end of 4th semester, students were eligible for internships. For a better stipend, we can get our own internships as well.

Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi on our campus. The infrastructure is very good as compared to Axis, Allen House, Vision, and Apollo. There is a huge library in our college which has many books like magazines, references, and course books. There is a huge study hall and it is fully air-conditioned. Hostel facilities are good. The mess is average. Wi-Fi is also available in our hostel. It also has a badminton court. Medical room is available. The food served in the mess is excellent. They provide 4-time meals in a day like breakfast, lunch, evening, and dinner. The hostel fee is Rs 76,000 including the mess.

Faculty: Faculty members are the best. Few of them are Ph.D. scholars. Teachers are highly knowledgeable. This college conducts many tests like CT, sessional, and PUT. If you give all tests then you can score good marks in internal exams. Our university exams are conducted within 4-5 months.

Other: I chose this course because, in Kanpur, no college provides a BFA course. This college has the best teachers in every department. They are also very kind. Udbhav is the fresher party for welcoming juniors in the first year. Shikar is the annual sports fest that is conducted between April and May. There are many leagues like the KIHE league, KIT league, and KIT P league which are conducted every year. There are many clubs like badminton clubs, GK clubs, innovation clubs, social clubs, and many more which are run by students.

The infrastructure is good, but the placements are bad.

Placements: There are no placements for our course. Not even a single company visited the college for placements. The college doesn't even provide you with internships, and you have to get it on your own. They don't even have any tie-ups with companies to provide placements, at least not for the fashion department. I tried very hard to get a job, but no one even knows our college. They focus more on the placements of B.Tech students. They should at least try to invite some companies for us. Not even the toppers in our branch get placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college was good and beautiful. The hostel and campus were good. There were good machines and a lot of space. The garden was good, and the reception is beautiful. The college should focus more on classrooms and other practical labs. There are cameras in classrooms and campus. The basketball and badminton coach are good.

Faculty: Faculty members and the course curriculum are average. They don't work hard for students. They try to complete the syllabus in the easiest possible way. They should also try to focus on weak students and work for their betterment. Some of the faculty members work hard for students, but some of them are not at all helpful.

Other: The college fest and events are good, but the college should have a good culture and should treat boys and girls equally. Sometimes, they are too narrow-minded. The surroundings are good. Extracurricular activities are also good.
