What Students Say

Likes

Campus scenery consisting of wide range flora and fauna sparks the beauty of IIT
Perfect library with all the books needed for best education
Hostels are decent with a diverse range of sport facilities

Dislikes

Mess food is not so good due to a lot of accommodation

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is almost perfect with proper exams conducted throughout the semester to test the knowledge of students and rectify their mistakes. But few courses are outdated in 1st year which creates a negative impact on academics.

Class Size: 120Course Fees: INR 200000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Annual college expenses go around 3 lakh rupees per annum which is ok with the type of college. The scholarship ranges from 18000 to 2 lakh rupees per annum. Which helps in providing the best education to all students irrespective of their financial state.

Campus Life

IIT Kanpur provides a wide range of societies and clubs for the overall development of the students and encourages them to explore new things without any fear and tension. Fests are also well organized with world-class celebrities entertaining the crowd.

Hostel Facilities

The hostel facility is quite decent with sports amenities included inside the hostel and proper amenities like lifts, canteen, reading room, etc. Mess food is manageable in the 1st year, but not to worry as the food gets better in the 2nd year.

Hostel Fee: INR 100000 per year

Admission

This college is located in a perfect location with a 1000-acre campus area giving a perfect college vibe full of fun activities and thrill. The main reason was that the faculty and competition that exists here have no match with other institutes.

Faculty

Faculty here is top notch with them having a great knowledge about their subject with practical labs of their own and skillful equipments. The method of paper setting is unique creating a competitive environment among the students.

Night Life

Nightlife here is so much more colorful due to the involvement of extracurricular activities like gym, dance, chilling at OAT, and much more. The food is also available in a few canteens around the clock providing a perfect kick for nighouts.

Placement Experience:

Placements are quite good here . Generally most of the comapnies that come here are for SDE roles but also many for consulting and DS roles . Students generally dont prefer the core roles so there are less companies visit for core jobs . Talking abt my course the highest package was 51 lakh by microsoft and the average was around 18 lakh . For the aollege highest package was around 1.6 cr. Around 1000 offers have been given for 252 profiles . In this 280 offers were PPO for final year student. Average CTC for whole college was 29.23 LPA. Around 80 percent of students get placed . Some people go for higher studies , some go for civil services .

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
