What Students Say

Likes

The fest of college Udghosh Antaragni and Techkriti
College environment and coding culture .
Sports are prioritise too in this college.

Dislikes

Engineering graphics and ethics type of irrelevant courses
Grading system is pretty bad and totally in hands of professor
Average hostels room and mess food quality.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course in first sem is pretty irrelevant except few physics and c language course. They'll teach you drawing, physical education, ethics in the first yr which is irrelevant if for engineering college perspective. Courses like python, basics of electrical engineering should be there in first year

Class Size: 1208Course Fees: INR 117000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook (Meta), Nvidia, Samsung, Intel, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Dell, IBM, Adobe, Uber, Flipkart, Ola,Goldman Sachs,JP Morgan are the top recruiters for internship There are more than 100 projects in college offer to student. Most of the projects will be on campus and only few of them will be remote.

Placement Experience

From 7th semester students will be eligible for campus placement Many top companies visited this year and more than 1200 offers made this year till now. FAANG visited this college Highest is 4Cr and Average is around 24LPA Around 60% of the student placed this year which is way lesser than 100% of last year My plans after degree is doing masters

Fees and Financial Aid

Tution fees was 80000 in 2016 and then after the meeting of IIT the fees revised to 200000 which is around 200%. There is no policy of fees increment. There is one scholarship named MCM where top 25% of college will receive 12000 per year along with tution fee waiver. I don't have any idea for 3rd question

Campus Life

Techkriti, Antaragni, Udghosh are the major fests happen in our college We have one of the India largest library so there are a lot of book here All the equipment available in labs are in working condition. The facilities are good here Yes annual sports fest udghosh and inter pool sports Udghosh

Hostel Facilities

Very small room provided with 2 beds, one fan and one tube light,one table, one chair and one notice board with one almirah and nothing else. Mess quality is pretty average and menu is pretty much balance You just have to submit form to hall at the time of reporting.

Hostel Fee: INR 14600 per year

Admission

To eligible for getting admission in this college you've to Clear the JEE mains and have to secure a good rank in JEE Advanced. The reservation benifit is the same made by goverment. Moreover there is 20% supernumerary seats too for girls.

Faculty

Too much impact but there is tutorial class to learn or clest your doubt with the tutor assistant. We rarely interact with teachers as teacher mostly after class leave the lecture hall and they don't like we disturb them during class

A bitter truth of GNIOT COLLEGE

Course Curriculum Overview:

The institution itself claims that the B.Tech programme is designed to “develop the technical skills of aspirants” and emphasises modern tools and technologies. Some students say particular specialisations (e.g., CSE with AI/ML) are particularly “industry-ready”. The curriculum covers foundational engineering courses (physics, mathematics, basic engineering) in the early years and then branch-specific specialisations later. That breadth is good. Some student reviews point out that while the curriculum is generally relevant, it may lag in keeping up with the latest technology trends. For example:

KIT College: A Decent option, but not the best.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I took admission in this course because of the upcoming oppourtunities in electronics field. The curriculmn is cut short only focuses the important stuuf we need to know. Unecessary subjects like chemistry has been removed. The daily shcedule is very hectic (9-5) we don't get time to study addtional stuff. The teaching methods can be improved though it's still good. As I told earlier about the FA system the exams occur almost every 2 weeks with 9-5 daily college. It becomes very hectic. If you refer to class notes and syllabus then it would not much difficult to score.

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

Life @ IITK

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
