What Students Say

Likes

Infrastructure is good. Clubs and societies are good with moderate engagement and pan india events
Clean campus with accessible roads, big academic area with library and canteens
Good accommodation and utility stores and canteens

Dislikes

Academic culture and toxicity in clubs and societies
Extreme harsh weather and the transition to hot and cold
Just a developing city with less to no access to shops after 12 am

Course Curriculum Overview

Curriculum was vague in first two years and started getting department intensive materials in 3rd year. Toughness is above average with more than half of the class falling below average marks in quizzes.

Class Size: 71Course Fees: INR 100000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Internships are offered in the roles Consulting, Marketing, Development, Quant, Banking etc. with prominent companies for summer. The process is transparent and gradual organized by student placement cell for junior batches. I did not apply so can't give much intel

Placement Experience

Placements are smoother if you fall in the group of top shortlistwd candidates. The credibility and easiness decreases by each day making it harder for non shortlisted students to acquire a chance to prove themselves despite of their academic records

Fees and Financial Aid

1 lakh per sem as tuition and 20 000 for hostel per semester. No scholarships available unlike the people is SC and ST. Hostel charges also include accommodation mess, electricity etc. Year wise totally it's around 250000

Campus Life

There are Sports and Cultural Festivals Udhgosh and Antaragni in October and Ttch fest Techriti in March. There is a Vast library and study areas all around academic area. An independent student journalism body is active throughout the year for updates on issues that are usually overlooked or forgotten.

Hostel Facilities

Final year BTech students have a single room, while the junior batch stay in double or triple occupancy depending on the size of the room. Meal quality is 7/10 and taste is 7.5/10 in the mess accommodating all girl from all BTech batches

Hostel Fee: INR 15000 per year

Admission

IIT Kanpur has the best research facility for Aerospace in India with an airstrip including gliders and Wind tunnels both high speed and low speed aiding testing of in campus and pan India researchers and companies

Faculty

Faculty to student ratio would be 1:40. Most faculties are old and unapproachable and only attended if its course work. There are best faculties in HSS department , empathetic and true to their profession.

Night Life

Library is open 24*7 for exam weeks but other study areas are open throughout the semester. There are canteens open whole day with hostel canteens open for 12-14 hours daily. Hostel is within the campus with 5-10 minutes walking distance from each halls to lecture hall complex. There is no curfew except inter hall movement for girls and boys from 12 ams -6 am

My College Experience

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choosed btech because I want to make my career in tech fields after coming into college I have seen so many students are in a rat race but so many are not and I feel they can make out curriculum way more better to include subjects which can teach us real world Problems and how to handle that in this AI world,The knowledge of AI is must so I think there should be regular classes for AI and yes that should be of good level otherwise I don't think so students will go to waste there time in college as there are lots and lots of videos on youtube so they will learn from there ,The exams are of medium difficulty level I will not say that they are too easy or too hard

Great college life

Placement Experience:

A lot of great companies visit the campus and a lot of students also get placed by mass recruiters but the salary offered is not very much. So the average package is not great but some students do get great package by their own or by college if you are serious.

Honest Review

Placement Experience:

Student should get atleast 7 cgpa or above to crack good companies. Highest package offered to a student of this college is of 34 lakhs which is offered by company name commvault and average package is about 5 to 6 lakhs. Many companies visited to our college in previous years such as paytm, hcl, tcs, commvault, nucleus etc. Students are eligible to sit in interviews when they are in fourth year. My plans after getting degree is to have a decent job and live my life peacefully.

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
