IIT Kanpur

The first step is to qualify for the JEE mains entrance exam and then the JEE ADV entrance exam. then after counselling, you are allotted the college based on your JEE ADV rank and your preference list. The academics at IITK are really very good but it is a bit hard compared to other IITs. IITK has all the facilities available on the campus itself. The placements and alumni here are really strong. The best thing about our college is that we are provided many chances of branch change once after 2nd sem, then after 3rd and after 4th sem also.

I was interested in mathematics as well as computing and had knowledge that this branch offers good placements so I chose it. The faculty: student here is 1:10. All the faculties are highly qualified in their respective fields. There are 4 exams a year, two of which are mid sem exams and the other two end sem exam. Along with these, there are timely quizzes taken. Passing these exams is a bit hard as compared to other colleges especially in my department.

There are many companies which come for providing internship in our college. As well we can do off campus internships if we want. Normally interns are paid around 50 thousand to 1.5 lakhs per month. Many projects are conducted throughout the four years so the students get skilled enough to get an internship easily.

Almost all the big companies visit our college for placements from Google to Microsoft and many more. The highest package offered last year in our college was 1.5Crs. The average package here is 12LPA.

The yearly fees of college are around 2.5 lakhs. The fees are worth it compared to the facilities and education provided. All IITs have around the same fees. There are pretty good chances to get a scholarship at IITK. One of these scholarships is INSPIRE which is based on the CPI you obtain.

The campus life is very very nice. There are mainly 3 fests in college- 1st UDGHOSH ( annual sports fest ), 2nd TECHKRITI ( annual tech fest it is Asia's best tech fest ) and 3rd the ATARAGINI ( annual cultural fest and is the biggest cultural fest ). The P.K.Kelkar library is the very big library. It has all the course as well as other books available. There are almost all the sports in the college and you can pursue any of them you like. There are many many clubs in our college. There is a club for almost everything that can be thought of and if you didn't find one you are free to open a new society for students with the same interest.

Hostel rooms are ok. There are 2 girls and 8 boys hostels. The meal and menu in IITK are pretty good as compared to other IITs. We are allotted the hostels at the time of admission itself. In the first year, all 1st year boys have to reside in hostel number 13.
