Why To Join IIT Kanpur - Reviews & Rating
Most Popular Tags
Remarks:
Admission is through JEE exams. Further, IIT Kanpur has a rich social culture and awesome education opportunities. The only bad aspect can be that it is situated in Kanpur City which is kind of backwards though development is happening there. But the campus is huge and it even has its own Open Air Theatre(OAT). It has all kind of clubs such as dramatics, dance, robotics, aeromodelling, SAE(cars), fine-arts, etc and all kind of awesome fests such as Techkriti, Antaragni, Udghosh, etc. The professors are really nice and cooperate with the student body.

Very good institute to learn MBA in analytics and IT consulting. ROI is really good. Average placement hovers around 13LPA. Best faculty with everyone having done phD. The institute infrastructure is very good and spreads across 1000 acres campus. Admission is done through CAT only and only engineers are allowed to apply.

Remarks:
Placement - for any candidate placement is top priority , so before joining i asked seniors of my branchresearch- as i admitted in research program i was mostly involved in govt project , my seprate thesis , we have good infrastructure for research but it can be approved further. We have several labs linex , windows lab where anyone can use it, we have also campus wide most of the research software for free , the best part we can also use this software from home ,Courses - some of the courses are out dated , do not know why they are stilll teaching this , but yes several courses like machine learning , artificial intelligence based courses are also there, optimization , statistics. This are some of the best courses which a electrical student can take. student to faculty ratio - the student to faculty ratio is worst in iit kanpur among all iits in my knowledge , and also iitk takes more student in PG EE ALMOST 145 STUDENT AS COMPARED TO IITD 90-100 STUDENTS , SO competition is high during placement , nift ranking of iitk is 4

The reasons were - lesser fees compared to other top B-schools, also smaller batch size gives better academic experience. The faculty to student ratio is 1:3. IIT Kanpur has faculties with excellent expertise and there is also sufficient collaboration with students from other departments (B.Tech. and Phd).

Placement Experience:
I have discussed placement stats. As you know that IITK is a reputed college therefore many worldwide companies come here for recruitment like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Goodman Sachs, etc. Around 60 percent of total students get placed in placement. You will be eligible for placement in your 4th year. My plan takes a job as there are many opportunities but many students do research and opt for further studies.

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.
