Why To Join IIT Kanpur - Reviews & Rating
Most Popular Tags
Remarks:
The most important factor was it is one of the best technical institutes in India. IIT Kanpur pulls our focus towards how we can apply what we have studied in the real world. There are many projects offer by the professor and the teaching style of the professor are the best compare to other colleges. Also, the faculty-student ratio is good (approx. 1:8). Students also get exposure to extra-curricular activities apart from studies. There are many clubs that are operated by students. The Placement is very good and many students get their dream job with good packages. Also, the Entrepreneurship environment is very good. One can do his own startup which will be incubated by IIT Kanpur. To get admission in IIT Kanpur one has to qualify both JEE mains and JEE Advance but the merit is made on the basis of rank in JEE Advance. Normally JEE Advance is held on the 2nd or 3rd Sunday in the month of May but due to COVID-19, the dates are changed. One can check the date and syllabus on https://jeeadv.ac.in/ After JEE Advanced JOSAA(Joint Seat Allocation Authority) conducts the seat allocation and the registration starts from the 2nd week of June and it is a month-long process and many rounds for seats are conducted.

Placement Experience:
I am freshie so right now saying tht much about placements and all would not give you good info but from.my knowledge it stars from after 2 sem end just register and appears for tht company based on your skills and branch
Avg package is about 10 to 15 highest package is of 1 crore from the overall analysis.
And about 70-80% since 2019 students gets placed but in the previous years 20-21 placements scenario is not tht good due to corona and all
I hope in the future everything will be sorted out.

Remarks:
As after the IIT-JAM result, Students went through screening process where they can choose there college in a preference order and Myself choose IIT-Kanpur above than IIT-Delhi, After providing specific amount of seat booking fee, I received offer letter from IIT with whom we need to attach an medical form, and received a date of joining. Admission process were took around 7 days and admission process were smooth, and then journey starts, I choose IIT Kanpur because of great research opportunities in the field of science as well as world class faculties and facilities for students, Green and beautiful campus and some bad aspects i can say is every wherever you see you will find construction work going on, and there are so many things to do, you will think that you are missing so many things.And Now just passed master's programme and happily lived over there.

Remarks:
IIT is the best and top college of India. I always wished to study in any one of IIT. It is the best college for placements and other great opportunities. So I did my best in JEE. As per the rule JoSAA counselling rounds are held. Admissions are strictly on the basis of JEE scores and JoSAA counselling. Total 7 rounds are there. I had opted IIT Kanpur in my preference and got the seat. I immediately confirmed the seat. After that required documents such as 10th, 12th marksheet, passing certificate, LC, birth certificate , passport along with their photocopies and two passport size photographs went to the college for verification and confirmation. After that fees has to be paid .

This is IIT. You don't need factors to choose it. its a matter of pride to study in most prestigious institute in the country. I wanted to explore flavour of research culture. You will gain respect from your surrounding people. You are studying among some of the best brains of our country. You will get the chance to learn many things from them. IIT is not only about its student doing well in engineering and research but also about learning management, finance, social skills,etc.

Best Infrastructure in all IITs. Lavish Lifestyle, excellent living standards and maximum freedom. You can see Piyush Patel vlogs and Blogs on YouTube to get a heck of it. Though Academics are a little tough as compared to ay other college of India, still you enjoy the enviourment.

Placement Experience:
Students from the 8th semester can sit for campus placements. Companies of all domains come every year to hire from PSU like hp, Gail to consulting companies like BCG, McKinsey to core companies like BMW. All well-reputed companies come to college to place students. Highest package for 1.53 crore from CSE stream as an analyst role. 90% of students get placed every year and the remaining go for higher studies or start-ups.

I always wanted to pursue PhD and Department of Mathematics & Statistics at IIT Kanpur has some of the renowned faculties in my major who have good international connection. This has really helped me to get good recommendation for my PhD study in abroad. I already have 3 offers from foreign universities and I am going to join one of them this year.

IIT Kanpur is an institution of prime importance, admission in such a great institute is a great achievement for me, Highly educated and experienced teachers and ofcourse good batch mates and seniors was a blessing here , small batch strength is an added advantage as all the process will be easy and teaching and doubt clearing sessions etc were not so difficult. Professors are great for all the subjects everyone was PhD and research specialists.Placement was nice both internship and finals. Great roi as fees is around 4 lakhs and placement around 13-15lpa Is a great achievement of the institute as IITs are generally funded by government the fees will be considerate. Scholarships can be achieved according to students needs pan iit level.

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.
