What Students Say

The prof are highly qualified and education you get the best of them.

Dislikes

The competition is always there it feels you are running in race
The quiz and exams take place every 15 days .
The hostel food can be improved the permanent dislike.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course runs in semester I am of 4 months, and the faculty members are highly qualified but the whole thing is you will study only before the exam so all those things don't matter that much I think so overall it is good. The exams were always on time and the checking was strict, there was a semester system.

Class Size: 49Course Fees: INR 117000 per year

Placement Experience

Placements of college are good Students in 4th year are eligible to apply for campus placement, Microsoft and all major companies come in placement sessions so yes it is good as almost 80 percent of students are placed.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees can be waived through various scholarships only if your parent's income is below a certain level otherwise you have to pay a full fee even if your parents are in government services you need to pay full fees. The fee for my course was around 117000.

Campus Life

4.5

The campus life is good the fest which takes place is techkriti , and antarngni is Asia's largest cultural fest, College life is such that you will remember it throughout your life so yes it is good. The extracurricular activities are there for the students.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

The hostel is provided by the college as it is a residential college so you have your hostel life and the mess is good but sometimes the quality can be low to fund hostel fest and activities otherwise the food we get is good.

Hostel Fee: INR 10000 per year

Admission

You need to clear jee advanced to get admission, which is conducted every year, and the cutoff for which varies every year, so to get into it you should study to your full potential which can guarantee your success.

Life At IITK

Placement Experience:

After the end of 6 th semester, students need to submit the resume for the placements. At this time my senior placements are going on and they are much better. Like on first day half of the batch got placed. All the it sector company are there you can apply for. Highest package was around 2 cr and average was 25 lakhs. 70 to 80 percent of the students get placed, rest of the students either go for the masters or PhD or some other goal. I am pretty sure after my degree completion i would get an average package but I just wanted to be a civil servant.

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
