Remarks

Good research work in my field. Applications for PhD program are shortlisted for an interview based on the GATE qualification and marks of PG course taken by the student. An interview is conducted for the shortlisted candidates. The admission is done two times a year, one during the summers in the month of May-June and the other in the winters during November-December.

Course Curriculum Overview

I am doing PhD to pursue a career in academia and research. The institute has faculties which are subject experts in their domains and a proper faculty-student ratio is present for the PhD program. A PhD student has to take 4 to 8 courses depending upon the department and the type of PhD student.

Course Fees: INR 5000 per year

Placement Experience

2.5

There is no placement done by the institute for the PhD students. The students depending upon their choice and plan opt for post doctoral programs in different institutes. Apart from that many students apply for faculty positions in different institutes within India. Students after completing PhD also go for jobs in Research and Development departments of different industries.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Tuition Fee for PhD students is nominal. Other charges like hostel and mess charges are not to much and can be around 4000 to 6000 per month. PhD students get a financial assistance of 31000 INR for initial two years which is increased to 35000 for the next three years of a 5 year PhD program.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life is vibrant. All the time some kind of events are going on within the campus. The main events include the annual fest Antaragni and the technical fest Techkriti. Both events sees the participation of thousands of students from all over the country.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

Hostel is a must in this institution as it is a fully residential campus. We get single rooms and other facilities are good enough for a relaxed life. Each hostel has its own mess and the mess operation and food menu is under the supervision of student elected body.

Placement Experience:

I completed My bachelor's as well as masters from the same college, I remember I got a package of 24 LPA when I sat for campus placement after BTech but I continued to do master's instead of getting a job two years later when I completed my MTech, WIPRO offered my 50 LPA as a Junior Executive in Bangalore branch, but I still discarded that and decided to do PhD in the same subject, this is my last year and I am hoping it will be completed by this year, then I will apply to be a lecturer at any IIT then only my childhood dream of being a teacher will come true.

I got happy because it comes under top university of India in doctrate. The student faculty Ratio is 15:2 . Well educated and all faculties are above phd degree having worked in research university. It's easy to pass the examination but it difficult to write research papers. You should have good knowledge to get good marks in research

I had completed M.Tech from IIT Roorkee. Now, I wanted to take admission in Ph.D. for Ph.D. admission, every reputed college (generally) had eligibility criteria M.Tech and gate qualified. And they use to conduct a self-written exam followed by an interview. My GATE score was 546 and rank was 2995 in Gate 2015. I applied in IIT Roorkee, IIT Kanpur and MNNIT Allahabad.

Remarks:

Campus is very good, greenery everywhere. Location of institute is near ganga river, just 1 km away from campus. there is health centre facility and BHU hospital. I have one regret, i.e hostel and mess facility. Institute management should pay more attention on infrastructure and better facility as per IITs standard.

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
