Placement Experience:
Placemets of 2024 means y20 batch is not good because of recassion and skill gap due to online studying and the placements starts after 7th semester in december. Few companies which I remembered is Texas Instrument gave 11 offers and the ctc was 42 lpa. Similarly SAP labs, samsung, intel, NVIDIA and many others. Highest package was 2.2 crore by Optiver for the High Frequency Treding profile generaly the highest offers given by the quant companies. The overall average was arround somethind 19lpa. Usually 85 to 90 % students placed but in 2024 only 60% students placed.

- Great facilities be it medical, sports as well as in terms of high quality education.
- Great academic flexibility, you can choose courses according to your interests.
Dislikes
- Things become hectic as course curriculum is very tough.
- Very highly competitive environment due to which you cannot take a breath of chill.
Course Curriculum Overview:
The curriculum becomes very tough at times. It may seem easy at the beginning but trust me at the time of endsems it becomes tough as hell. And again it depend on courses as well. Some courses are very useful in real world applications where others are just to open new dimensions of your thinking. Exams again depend on faculty, some may take quiz every week while others may take total of 2-4 quizzes during whole sem along with midsem endsem.

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.
