The academics here may be tough but they are enjoyable. Professors are good and the cources here train you to be great. They are tough but relevant
The clubs here provide great exposure to various things. There are both cultural and technology clubs
The campus is green beautiful great with lots of buildings and facilities. Freedom is high. You have no hostel restrictions.

Dislikes

Climate is extreme. It's too cold or too hot during winters and summers.
The grading is harsh you have to work really hard to score.

Course Curriculum Overview

Initially the some courses in first year are irrelevant but you will enjoy reading them since they are good. Ultimately since we are given the option of branch Change we have to study them. But the courses make you industry ready and great.

Class Size: 57Course Fees: INR 200000 per year

Internships Opportunities

During 3rd year SPO brings various companies to campus which provide internships. The opportunities are plenty and many projects are offered due to clubs and all. The outcome is great. Professor projects, club projects, startup projects etc

Placement Experience

The college offers various placement opportunities. Many companies come and take people. It's usually starts in the month of December in the final year. I can tell about my branch average package is 33 lakhs and about some 90 lakh is highest package. Various tech non teach companies come like Google, Microsoft, sprinkler etc The minimum salary offered is 6 lakh per annum. People can easily get placement outside college because of IIT tag.

Fees and Financial Aid

If you have family income less than 5 lakhs then there is no need to pay even a single rupee. Even caste based reservations are there. There are various scholarships available which a student can easily available.

Campus Life

The infrastructure is great except hostels. Anyways who stays in hostel. The library, lecture halls all are air conditioned. The labs are great. We have supercomputer. We can access the campus computets till night 2 clock and believe me there are many. The sport opportunities are huge with coaches in almost every sport. We have cultural clubs which give huge experience. The clubs under student Gymkhana are great

Hostel Facilities

3.5

The hostel rooms are little congested but it's fine you will get used to it. The fees is low. The food is good compared to all other messes . The menu is revised every month. So enjoy. The hostel facilities are good not complainable. The registration process is along the college admission.

Hostel Fee: INR 50000 per year

Admission

I had to clear JEE exam to come here. The rank I had was 2908. I am from general category. Anyways reservations are there which can be availed. JOSAA councelling provided every single step for this. The admission is very smooth you just need to have computer

Faculty

The student teacher ratio depanfs on course to cource. Some courses have 1: 600 ratio whereas some have 1:20. But the faculty is too good and we are given high support from technical team and other seniors. The faculty are well trained and they have huge experience. They are approachable.

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
