Absolutely satisfied because of the environment and lifestyle of the college; best placement in 2022
Placements: 100% students placed in Maths (90% if you take non-willing). The highest 1.2 Cr Rubrik USA, the lowest 10 Lacs, something average 20 LPA. All software companies and high-paying HFTs (Alpha Freo, Graviton, etc.) are open for Maths (based on GDP/CPI) as it is a circuit branch. Internships on campus were 60-70%, but off-campus almost everyone, and again in startups, and in MNCs mostly startups. Roles include Software Engineer, Quantitative Analyst.
Infrastructure: Best facilities including PK Kelkar Library, computer center, student lounge with high-speed internet, and all comforts to study peacefully. New classrooms which were built are more infrastructurally well-equipped with the latest teaching devices as compared to the classrooms where Maths classes take place. Good quality food and the mess secretary is always there to resolve any dispute related to the menu and quality. Medical facilities are awesome; on-demand ambulance service is even available at midnight. Sports and games are well encouraged; there is even one FEAT which our institute organizes for sports, that is, Udhghosh. Canteens are open 24/7 during exams.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. One of my teachers, from whom I studied cryptographs, was a pioneer in his field and received a golden prize equivalent to the Nobel Prize. Even professors of mathematics are highly knowledgeable and conceptually apt. Exceptions are everywhere, as some teachers are not that good in their teaching skills, although there is no doubt about their academic skills. In my course, it makes you research-ready, but there is a facility in our college to choose courses via open electives to study courses of your choice and career-friendly courses. So, it is a more student-centric curriculum. Since in our college, there is relative grading, so no clear percentage at times. Exams of some courses were so hard that the highest marks were only 40-50%, that too with a large standard deviation. Some courses were too easy that every student got an A, so it is basically a professor-centric curriculum.
Other: Seriously, after giving JEE Advance, whichever top college, top branch I am eligible for, I opt for it. As I come from a humble background, I don’t have exposure to what all to do and how to do so. I just go with the flow. Social life was truly amazing at IITK with its Asia’s one of the largest fest, Antaragni, to one of the finest alumni networks who are more enthusiastic to help you than you asking for help. Scholarships are also given to many students from various means such as alumni fund, alumni sponsored, and some college sponsored.

It's not a private college. It's IIT Kanpur. No doubt about anything.
Placements: In our batch, there are 64 students, out of which 40 got placed with an average package of approximately 40 Lacs. Others either pursued higher studies or work in other fields. There are many types of math courses, which are very different from any other branch. All IT companies recruit here.
Infrastructure: Labs and classrooms are too good. Good professors provide everything they have. Classes are held regularly. We have a good departmental building. Hostels are also excellent, with nice messes and rooms. Cleaning is done regularly. All other facilities are available.
Faculty: Teachers are the top in India, so no comment on their qualifications. Teaching is okay. Yes, it is a necessary course in today's world because math is involved in every aspect of work. Semester exams are very hectic. To pass, you need to study every day.

Review of IIT Kanpur by me.
Placements: Last year, almost 92 percent of students got placed. Companies like Quant Box and Google come to hire our students. The average package was around 28 lacs per annum, the maximum was around 3 to 4 crores and the minimum was around 14 lacs. Almost all students who work hard get placed.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of IIT Kanpur is amazing and it is one of the best IITs, and the hostel is too amazing to be able to explore such things and get past all the difficulties that you can face. It helps you build a bond you will never forget and it is worth living there.
Faculty: IIT Kanpur is known for its academics and the best faculty provided to the students. Almost all the professors have done research in the best field they teach and exams are quite tough to pass through them. It is to teach you not to give up and face difficulties in the future.

It is a great place for everyone.
Placements: Our course provided excellent placements in 2022. About 100% of students were placed. The average salary package offered is around 28 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Amazon, Google, Flipkart, Samsung, and Nvidia.
Infrastructure: There is unlimited Wi-Fi with a speed of around 100 Mbps. Classrooms are excellent. They can accommodate 50 to 600 students. The library is very well maintained. It has almost every book. It is a very peaceful place. The mess serves a variety of food items from almost every part of India. The food is very delicious.
Faculty: It has the best teachers in our country. They are highly qualified. They have a lot of experience. They are very helpful. Some parts of the course curriculum may seem irrelevant. The majority of it is still very relevant and important in today's industry. Semester exams are not that difficult. Students can pass with good scores if they attend classes regularly and complete the assignments on time.

Our college gives freedom.
Placements: Data analytics and quant profile roles are offered. Students from computer science engineering received higher salary packages. Roles in organisations optimising emerging technologies have risen, with students getting an offer to work as machine learning engineers, decision analysts, and AI specialists.
Infrastructure: Students get single rooms from the second year. Some basic facilities like hostel and mess serve more than 1000 people. Non-veg is not allowed, only eggs are allowed. I was a pure vegetarian but started eating eggs from the mess. They make egg and butter fried rice very delicious.
Faculty: Exams are not that difficult as we have assignments, quizzes, tutorials, vivas, and presentations.
Other: A lot of events are organised.
