What Students Say

Likes

The campus is absolutely ragging free. This is very rare in engineering colleges.
The air inside the campus is very clean,and the hostels are maintained regularly.
The peer group is excellent, comprising of the brightest minds in the country.

Dislikes

Very poor gender ratio. The sex ratio is approximately 1:4 and you rarely ever get to talk to a girl.
Since the students comprise of elite rankers, all course exams without exception have high competition.
Teachers have very poor teaching skills. You have to do extensive work on your own in understanding the course material.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The faculty is chosen on basis of research and not teaching skills and therefore they are bad at teaching. The students have to refer to outside resources for most of the courses like youtube etc.The faculty student ratio is around 1:10. The exams are usually difficult.

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 200000 per year

Internships Opportunities

For first year students, a mail appeared which offered 2 month long internship in tokyo. Another internship opportunity in quantum research was offered for students from the CSE and EE departments with over 9 cpi.

Placement Experience

From the 7th semester students are eligible to sit for campus placements. The average last year was 27 lakh. However,due to recession, many students were unplaced,and the placement was very poor compared to normal years.

Fees and Financial Aid

The course fees is around 1 lakh per semester and if your TFI (total family income) is within 5 lakh you avail 100% tuiton fees waiver,under the MCM (merit cum means) scholarship. Further more,if you qualify as a Teaching Assistant for any course,you get a fixed monthly stipend.

Campus Life

3.5

The main cultural fest is antaragini, it was held in october last year, the tech fest is techkriti, and will be held in march. There are a plethora of academic books in the national famous P.K. library. The sports facilities are excellent too.

Hostel Facilities

The hostels for second year onward students are 60 years old, and have poor condition. The first year hostel was finished in 2016 and has the best condition in the campus. The meal quality has generally been decent. All basic facilities are aptly covered in the hostel.

Hostel Fee: INR 30000 per year

Admission

The admission criteria was based on jee advanced score,which involved physics chemistry and maths. The application form,fees and dates can be found on the jee adv website. The paper's total marks varies every year and is roughly around 360 marks,120 per subject. The top 7 IITs have a higher cutoff than usual.

Unfiltered review and reality of My College

Course Curriculum Overview:

This criteria for choosing the college was because of placements. The curriculum Is outdated and not as per the industry requirements. In 1st year we are taught only one language and which is of no use.... That is C. But in other universities, students are taught languages like java, C++, python in their 1st year. Teachers are good. I have no issues with them but I have issues with its curriculum. Exam are taken so much which are according to me good as they prepare as for university exams but as I consider placement point of view so students do not have enough time to prepare for their placements, learning new skills as we are supposed to study for exams otherwise we will have to attend extra exams and classes and will lose internal marks. So having many exams have both benefits and drawbacks.

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
