Remarks
Positive- This is the best which we can have in India and yeah we are steadily improving but only if there are less interventions from Government. Negative- Yes, I agree IITs are still behind to compete with colleges at international level. We have very less scope in Core Engineering Fields. Research quality is far too low.
Course Curriculum Overview
Course curriculum here at IIT Kanpur is really flexible. 1st year (1st and 2nd Sem) all the undergraduates have the same courses to do.
