Ashlesh's Review On IIT Kanpur - Indian Institute Of Technology - [IITK], Kanpur

It's one of the best institute in the country and the Aerospace Engineering department is more than 50 years old. A very simple admission process with fees payment and document verification. Hassle free hostel allocation and other formalities like mail registration etc.

I was always passionate about physics so I choose mechanical engineering. During my graduation I became more intrigued by space and it's vastness. Therefore I selected Aerospace as my master's degree branch.

The campus opportunities are ample. The best is for CSE department. The placements for other core sectors are mediocre. This year it was worst due to COVID so I can't entirely summarise the placement scenario. Apart from that there are a lot of consulting, Banking options available for the students.

The fees are fairly less and affordable also it is commendable they provide alot of facilities with such a small fees. The M.tech students are also provided with a teaching assistantship of 12400 pm and scholarships are regular as specified by government.

This is the best part of all. You cannot expect a better campus than this. Other IITs also got a nice infrastructure but as they are between the metropolitan cities they lack the space to expand. But IITK is 15 kms from Kanpur City and they have ample amount of space available. The campus is a lush green with nice architectural buildings open and green spaces. A lot of peacocks can be seen here and there.

IIT kanpur

GATE; 2019; 666

There was a written test of basic maths and mechanical engineering questions. The syllabus covered was GATE syllabus and basic of aptitude. A good understanding of concepts is more than sufficient to crack the exam. The final admission was based on the combined performance in GATE and the written exam.
