The Chemical Engineering at IIT Kanpur ranks among the best of the nation and I wanted to go into the field of process engineering and plant design. Mainly we can do research in Fluid mechanics, Thermodynamics, Nano-Technology, Colloids and many more.The faculty : student ratio in my branch is 1:7 (and 1:10 overall). The faculty are highly educated and their teaching method is very good. Many of them have won may international and national prizes in the field of teaching and research. Basically in a semester one midsem and one endsem examination is conducted, also small quizzes (2~3) are also taken. Passing in exam is not difficult, if a student attends every class with good attention and solves problems given by professor then he/she can easily get good marks.
