I have been working in a leading MNC. But one day I realised that I was doing the same thing, so I started learning Data Science. I came to know abt ML post that. When I made some small projects, I decided to go for higher studies in the same area. In terms of research there are few good colleges in this area, IIT Kanpur being one of them. And I was right abt it, the research opportunity and the exposure I am getting here is indeed water for a thirsty mind.

I was digging into the opportunity available out there when I came to know about something called industrial engineering. On further research I found it very exciting to pursue as a career. Since I was a IIT graduate, I didn't need to go for gate examination for admission and just form filling and interview was the criteria. Fortunately I cleared the interview and admitted.

Remarks:
Getting admission in IIT was my dream. of all IITs the Bombay IIT is ranked 56th in india. The faculty that Bombay IIT have was well knowed and best in their feild so I chose to do my MBA here. And other reason was I didn't wanted to leave Bombay and go anywhere as so this was the best option for me. So for the securing the seat in this college i gave CAT entrance exam and scoring 60% was complusory

Good research work in my field. Applications for PhD program are shortlisted for an interview based on the GATE qualification and marks of PG course taken by the student. An interview is conducted for the shortlisted candidates. The admission is done two times a year, one during the summers in the month of May-June and the other in the winters during November-December.

IIT Kanpur has one of the most beautiful campus and amazing campus life. The course is an interdisciplinary course, which gives you freedom and flexibility to do research in the field your choice. There is coursework in the first year only, while the second year is completely dedicated to thesis. There are lot of visiting faculties from various other IITs.

Remarks:
IITK is among the oldest IITs. The average salary is good after graduation, the alumni network is good, the education is considered to be good, IIT Tag is considered useful by the society. I had gotten a good ran k in JEE advanced but not in JEE mains so NITs were out of picture and I did not want to go to a private college

Remarks:
IITK is one of the most elite colleges in India. Wanted a college near home, (it's the nearest engg college from my home, 2-3 km away). It has world class education system. Highly competitive. One bad thing about it is the extremely challenging academics (known for toughest acads among all IITs)

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.
