Placement Experience:
Being a first year student I don't have much knowledge about campus placements as of now. But usually 4th year students plan out their placements.
IITK has SPO( Student's Placement cell) taking care of placement related issues.

Placement Experience:
The placement offers of IITK are quite good. Many prestigious companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon come to hire students and give hefty job offers to the students. Almost all the student's bag job offers with some getting pre-placement offers also. The average placement offer lies around 20-25 lakhs with the highest being around 60-80 lakhs varying each year.
I will probably sit for the placements offer and probably work for a prestigious company after getting my degree.

On-Campus Placements are very good. Students go for internships in the 5th / 6th semester. Many convert those internships to PPOs (Pre Placement Offers). Then students sit for campus placements in the 7th semester. In 2019, 469 students were eligible for placement and 437 students were placed with a placement percentage of 93.17%. The median Salary offered to students was 15 Lpa (Lakhs per annum). The highest package offered was 1.47 Crores (international package). Some of the companies visited are Amazon, Facebook, Mastercard, VISA, HSBC, Accenture, Flipkart, Myntra, Bajaj, Rolls Royce, etc. I will also sit for placements after getting the degree.

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.
