I wanted to be an engineer, therefore opted to pursue B.Tech in the electronics and communication branch. The ratio of faculty to students was standard and more approachable. Most of the faculty at my time was Ph.D. or pursuing M.tech. and Ph.D. The faculty was well experienced in teaching and owned rich industrial experiences which could foster the students to not only excel in academics but also manage to build work ethics from college times. Almost every month sessional tests weekly or bi-weekly class tests, pre-university exams were conducted to review academics.

The students from the first year are introduced to Personality Development Programs, which every year is improvised to prepare students for pre-placement requisites and post-college work ethics. Students are offered placements from the 4th year / final year. The placement cell is present in the college which coordinates with students and companies for placement processes. A few companies that visited KGI, Kanpur in 2015 were HCL, Compro technologies, SGS Technomech, Hero motocorp, etc. the students placed were about 80-90%

Fees hikes of college were purely dependent on university recommendations i.e. AKTU, Lucknow. I didn't avail any scholarships or any financial assistance. I was placed in SGS Technomech as getting -Site Engineer. The offered package was 1.8LPA. But due to my own circumstances, I didn't join the company.

Every year an inter-college Tech Fest named INCEPTION was organized at the college campus coordinated by the students of the college. This was to develop team spirits and leadership qualities among the students. The college also has a wide range of books and journals available in the college library. These are available for students at any time and are helpful to not only excel in academics but also to stay aware of world affairs. The college campus has its auditorium, open-air theatre, canteens, and mess, in-campus hostel facilities, and gymnasium open to all students of the institution.
