Review of IIT Kanpur - Indian Institute of Technology.
Placements: 90% of students High package in my course around 25 LPA, the lowest 7 LPA and the average package is around 15 to 17 LPA. Hindustan Air India Limited, Being, Air Bus, Honeywell and many more. 50% of the class got internship opportunities. Companies like Dream Aerospace, HAL, Air India and many more. Teaching assistant.
Infrastructure: Facilities are excellent at IIT Kanpur. There is 24*7 Wi-Fi available everywhere on campus. Classrooms are well-furnished and maintained with air conditioning. The campus boasts a large and advanced central library. Hostels are also top-notch, with 24-hour RO water available and excellent cleanliness. Washing machines are available for use at designated times. The food in the canteen and mess is fantastic—clean, hygienic, and offering a wide variety of protein-rich options. Medical facilities are also commendable, providing students with free medicine that would otherwise be costly. The hospital staff consists of highly qualified medical professionals who offer excellent services. When it comes to sports and games, there are ample opportunities to join clubs and enjoy various activities. Additionally, hobby rooms are available in the hostels. Overall, I give IIT Kanpur a perfect rating of 5 out of 5.
Faculty: All teachers are highly skilled, experienced, and highly qualified. The teaching quality is top-notch. Yes, the curriculum is very useful, especially during placements and when joining any organization. College and semester exams are quite challenging here, I can say they are lengthy and conceptual. You can learn many things from the exam pattern, and it challenges your creative mind as well.

Absolutely satisfied because it's a college environment.
Placements: Very few opportunities for internship during the course. Placements for the aerospace department are on the lower side if you are looking to get placed in core aerospace companies. Even those core companies don't hire students with a Bachelor's degree. So mostly B.Tech students convert their programme to a dual degree course and go for placements with M.Tech degrees. Airbus, Eaton, and Mercedes are some of the core companies that recruit the students at this college. Apart from that, a large portion of students get placed in non-core companies that offer coding and data analytics jobs.
Infrastructure: Infrastructural assets like academic building and library is good. But as far as facilities are concerned, unlimited Wi-Fi is available for all students. The library is good, and it is open from 8 AM to 11:59 PM daily except on Sunday. On Sunday, it will be closed at 5 PM. Classrooms are also well-equipped with all the facilities required for teaching. All the lecture halls are air-conditioned, but all the tutorial halls are not air-conditioned. Hostel-1 to hostel-11 are not that good in terms of furniture as they are old, and 12 and 13 hostels are recently built and are very good with lift facility. Food offered in the mess of hall 10 is mostly good except for 1 or 2 days a week. The canteen is quite economical, and the only drawback of the canteen is its timings. It is open from 2 PM to 2 AM.
Faculty: Teachers in the aerospace department are highly educated, and most of them have completed their PhDs from IITs or reputed foreign universities. Some of the professors of this department comes under the list of top 2% scientists released by Stanford University. But the problem is that they are not good as they cannot explain concepts in an efficient way. Their teaching methodology is not as good as expected from the professors in a college like IIT Kanpur. The faculty to student ratio is good. The classroom never looks like an overcrowded one. The course curriculum is useful, and even the industrial exposure is also good as seminars are conducted frequently by the people working in industries. Exams are really tough even though when some of the exams are open book/note, but relative marking is their.
Other: I have chosen this course for placements in non core companies. Only thing is to be improved is the placements in core companies. A lot of fests and events organised in IIT Kanpur are organised by counselling service and other groups like Udghosh, Antaragini and many others. The connectivity from campus to city is good. Our campus is very beautiful with a lot of greenery. All the students use bicycles to travel within campus which is a very good thing. All kinds of extracurricular activities are being carried by various clubs and societies.

Good faculty, excellent infrastructure, and satisfactory placements.
Placements: The placement for our senior batch was good with the average package being 15 LPA. Around 85% computer science students bagged offers from big companies and some overseas offers. Companies that gave the offers were Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe Systems, Flipkart and some other big names. The roles that our seniors got were mostly core computer profiles.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure at IIT Kanpur is excellent with international level facilities. The college is equipped with Wi-Fi system. We have a big space for the computer lab and good medical facility at the campus. There are big fields for different outdoor games and rooms for indoor games and gym facility. The classrooms and labs are world-class and equipped with modern tech instruments. The college also provides accommodation and mess facility which is quite satisfactory and available at an affordable price. Till now, I haven't faced any major issues here.
Faculty: The faculty members here are highly educated and some with prior experience in the industry. The faculty is helpful and knowledgeable. Different faculty members use different methods to enhance knowledge of the subject. Mostly, I found the teaching methods that used were theory extended to practical. The student-faculty ratio was around 10:1, besides visiting faculty members. We have a proper connection with the industry and curriculum is satisfactory.

Absolutely dissatisfied with the placements. Teachers do not support placements.
Placements: I was in the environmental engineering and management department. Placement was not good for our batch or our senior batch. For seniors, only 2 companies came and for our batch, only 2-3 universities came for lectureship. They were offering around 5-6 lakh packages only.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure was amazing from classrooms to the hostel. There was good Wi-Fi. In fact, other facilities for entertainment were also amazing. The food was also good. The best part was it was available all round the clock. The only problem was there were few single seater rooms for girls.
Faculty: The faculty was well-experienced and knowledgeable. They were available for the students all the time. Teaching was generally done by presentations. For our batch, only 15 students were there. So the student to faculty ratio was quite good. Industry exposure was not as such there. The course curriculum was well-designed.
