Remarks

IITK is among the oldest IITs. The average salary is good after graduation, the alumni network is good, the education is considered to be good, IIT Tag is considered useful by the society. I had gotten a good ran k in JEE advanced but not in JEE mains so NITs were out of picture and I did not want to go to a private college

Course Curriculum Overview

Curriculum is outdated, too tough for no reason, They do have some good academic freedom but given the current state of events that won't be the case for long. The faculty might be good in research but only a handful teach properly and most of them are useless in both research and teaching. The culture among faculty is crooked and the professors have a really huge ego.

Class Size: 100Course Fees: INR 1000000 per year

Placement Experience

Placements are usually good, we had 80% placements for UG students in the first year of the pandemic. If you prepare seriously then you are almost sure to get placed in some company or the other but the college can only get you into contact with the companies coming. The faculty do nothing about the placement as the academics are not geared towards industry but the student run, Student Placement Office does a fantastic job every year.

Fee Structure And Facilities

There are no scholarships for you if you fall in the general category and have a family income above 6 LPA, otherwise you can easily get a scholarship. The fees is at par with other private colleges and it is just a myth that government colleges are cheap now.

Campus Life

3.5

Annual fests are : 1) Antaragni, cultural fest conducted usually in October, 2) Udghosh, Sports fest conducted usually around august-october, 3) Techkriti, Technical fest in january. There are a lot of clubs and the social life is great however the freedom as been completely clamped on during the pandemic and I am not sure how things will turn out in the future.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel facility is good, it has a mess, laundry and house-cleaning included. The hostels are affordable and cost around 3000 a month plus some additional payment of 5k every semester. The staff is usually friendly and the Hostel management is taken care of mostly by an elected student body.

Admission

JEE Mains - 2016 - AIR 7021, JEE Advanced - 2016 AIR- 1296

DME review- 5th year BBA LLB student

Placement Experience:

Students are given internship opportunities right from the first year. As I'm already on the verge of graduating in the next two months, I've seen the faculty and management put more attention to the Training and Placement Cell. Big companies like Deloitte, HCL and Austrian Migration Lawyers like Loch Corporate have taken interns from the law school at DME. This being said, I have high hopes from the Placements as well. I plan on working in the corporate and later this year appearing in Clat PG for the masters.

IITK From Sparsh's Perspective

I choose this college becouse of its flexible acdemic structure and its great Alum connections. Also this is the best college i am getting according to my rank and my interest in mathematics. I have Applied for IIT delhi in electronics. IIT Delhi is also a great college but when it comes to academic focus IIT delhi lacks there. Also there faculty administratation is so strict. if a student wants to start something or he/she has a new iniative for the college , he/she will face hard time. So I couldn't make it to IIT Roper CSE branch because my jee adance rank is not that great for the Roper' Computer science. So the Admission process here at IITK is not difficult. You just the originaly document which you have submitted in your josa counselling portal and you need to verify it once here usually a couple opf hours work. The cut-off for IITK varies-from branch to branch. For example the CSE of IITk open from Jee advanced general rank of 115 to 250....Read More

I chose IIT Kanpur over othe rcooleges because of its academic reputation, research opportunities and strong alumini network. I was also able to get seats in other IITs but I preferred IIT Kanpur due to its legacy . I didn't face rejections, but did not opt for some colleges even after qualifying due to lower research output, weaker placement stats. Admission process for B.Tech at IITK is through JEE Advanced exam, after qualifying JEE Mains. You also neend to satisfy cutoff for branches. Admissions are handled by JoSAA Counselling....Read More
