- not so good transportation, we have railway station around 15km but if its is airport its 25km with heavy traffic routes from campus
Placement Experience:
In our college, placements are offered. And many of the students get a job in that because
Many of the students are aware of what are industry requirements And they do internships based on what they are intrested in. Every year.
The average package of I.I.T kanpur is around twenty five lakhs. This year we had excellent placements and the official data is not yet out but still its known that average package is around 25-27LPA.

- The college is located on somewhat outskirts of Kanpur city, thus making the city markets, etc far yo reach. Though Metro eases out things somewhat.
Placement Experience:
IITs are known for their great strike rates in placements accross all the disciplines.
Companies like Google, microsoft, facebook, etc comes every year and offers huge amount of money, going as high as several crores, and averaging around 12,00,000 rs.
Data Analyst, software developer, etc are some of the profiles that are very popular.

IIT Kanpur: 2 Answered Questions
Is IIT Guwahati becoming the next IIT Kanpur?
Saugata NayakIndian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (2020)
Both IIT Guwahati and IIT Kanpur are well-respected institutions, known for their high-quality education and research. Comparing the two is already justified and saying that one institution is becoming the next of the other is more so. Both institutions have their strengths and areas of expertise. Yet, if I was to choose one I would have always gone for IIT Kanpur.
Some points that favor my preference are as follows:
- The quality of coursework at IIT Kanpur is extremely challenging and will keep you on your toes always. It offers the best quality of education and you will learn much more than other IITs if you are regular to classes and take your academics seriously,
- The usual schedule of a student at IIT Kanpur is not always jammed, unlike the general opinion. The timings of the clubs align with the classes and you can take out time for both if you are good at managing your time well.
- Another challenging aspect of IIT Kanpur is its tough grading system, (10,8,6,4..) under which anything below 10 is 8. Thus you are under tremendous pressure to maintain your CGPA and is enough of a motivating factor.
Overall, even if Guwahati was to be compared to IIT Kanpur, it still has a long way to go until it becomes the next IIT Kanpur.

What is your review of the earth sciences department at IIT Kanpur?
Vijay SarnaikStudied at IIT Kanpur
The Earth Sciences is a Department imparting education related to the study of Earth and its geological reliefs. The best part about this Department is that every course here overlaps with some or the other course of other departments making it a multifaceted one.
Earth Sciences curriculum overlaps with many courses in Material Science and Physics, Civil and Chemical, and even Electrical and CSE. This provides diversity in the overall learning experience of the course making it very interesting.
The only major issue is that due to common courses, the curriculum is vague and has no well-defined structure and content. We hope that this flaw is taken care of in the near future.
The program provides versatile job prospects even in the field of Satellite Remote Sensing, weather prediction, and geothermal power plants.
