- 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
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

- The faculties of the campus are very helping. Counseling service is very good.
- Campus provides internship opportunities and placement opportunities.
Dislikes
- The fees are very high. So many restrictions after getting lower grades.
Course Curriculum Overview:
The Faculties of iit Kanpur are very approachable so are my course faculties. I like the course content, so many opportunities for research students. Institute should give a break after mid mid-semester exams instead of that they continue classes which are very overwhelming. The difficulty level always remains unexpected.

- The best thing about IITK that seperates it from other IIT's is the amount of freedom; many courses have no attendance policy, there are no time restrictions in campus, boys can stay in girls hostel and vice versa(except 12-6 am)
- The quality of the hostel for freshers(hall 13) is top notch, too good mess, wifi speed is so good. In first year, the courses are commmon for everyone and the relevance of the courses is such that students get exposure of various branches
- Complete college is run by student bodies. The role of professors in our college is to come and just teach in class, rest each and every part from college admission to fests to placements everything is student led
Dislikes
- The freshers hostel and hall 12 is very good but the quality of other halls which are mostly old since 90's is not upto the mark. Like there's problem of insects, wifi, room space, water
Placement Experience:
There are 2 things- Internships and Placements. internship tests are during start of your 3rd year and 2 go for internships at start of 4th year. For placement you have it at the end of your 4th year. Around 400/1200 get placed in internships and around 800 get placed on campus. On day 1 you get top companies for internships as well as placements such as Microsoft, google, quadeye,jlr,goldmann saccs, itc,optiver top companies offer intern of around 4-5 lakh per month with all expenditures and for placements top companies give around 50 lpa. Those who are not placed on campus apply off campus on the basis of their resume and skills, the college has ANC council which provides addition intern and placement opportunities apart from the companies on campus and also there are enough POR's to build ur skills and resume

IIT Kanpur: 2 Answered Questions
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.

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.
