THE BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS OF IIT KANPUR

The curriculum of IITK is very hectic. We have to complete 7 courses having 9 credits each, one seminar course having 9 credits and other credits are acquired by thesis work. In this way we complete thesis work. The exams are mid semester exams and end semester exams. Along with quizzes, assignments and homeworks. Faculties are very good and know alot about their subjects. The college has very good research environment.

Placements of IITK are very good. Even during recession the average package was 15lpa. Highest package was 60lpa and lowest was 12lpa. If someone is not getting placed then professors help in their own domain. After degree, I am planning to work in a product based company after degree.

We get 12400 of monthly stipend for teaching assistantship provided by the institute. In this teaching assistantship we have to solve doubts of junior students once a week for 3 hours and help them pass their coding labs. The fees overall is very very less which makes the course highly affordable as due to stipend it becomes almost free.

IITK has 3 major fests- Antaragini- The cultural fest, Udhgosh- Sports Fest, Techkriti- Asia's largest technical fest. Antaragini is typically held in October, Udhgosh is typically held in October or November, techkriti is held in March. Many sports and extracurricular activities are offered like pool, wall climbing, chess, carrom, football and cricket grounds, squash and badminton halls etc. The PK Kelkar library in IITK is one of the largest libraries in India and has a wide range of books which are easily accessible through a software

Hostel facility is top notch. We have a mirror, almirah, table, chair, bed etc provided in the rooms. Mess is available in each hostel and menu is appropriate for students of every region. Normal roti sabji dal chawal is available everyday.
