A short review of IIT Kanpur.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and approachable via mail or in person. Every single teacher at IIT Kanpur is well-knowledgeable and highly qualified. Course curriculum is a little tough but yet helpful. There are 2 exams in one semester, the mid-semester exam and the end-semester exam. Content and grades completely depend on teachers.

The reality of IIT Kanpur.

Faculty: The faculty and teachers are very helpful but not all of them. There is always some teacher who does not push the students. Most of the professors are well-educated and good. Teaching done on the smart board so teaching quality is very good. Yes, the courses that we have studied can make one 90% ready to join the industry. Semester exam are always very tough in IIT Kanpur and very rigorous.

A really good campus life with good placement and strong alumni network.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and helpful and have vast knowledge about the subject. Teaching quality is also good, but for some teachers, the pace is too high to grasp things properly. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes the student industry-ready for that sector of jobs. For first-year semester exams, they are tough, but after that, exams become relatively easy.

Best campus life and best course if you are eager to study.

Faculty: Faculty do strict grading but courses and their content are good. The strict grading policy sometimes feel harsh for you, but the course content is too notch there may be some boring lectures but there can be some interesting subjects and choice of selecting open electives and department electives is the best thing you can explore other department and even MBA courses with this.

Review of IIT Kanpur by a civil engineering student .

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable but some are not fit for teaching. The course curriculum is relevant. Extra work should be done by the students to get internships and placements. Semester exam difficulty level will be based on professor but grading is tough compared to other IITs. Pass percentages will be lower compared to other IITs .

Overall, a very nice college. If you are able to get a circuital branch here, it's good.

Faculty: The professors here are well qualified. They teach well. Regular lectures and tutorials occur and they are coursewise. From the second year, the core courses start to be related to the respective industry. Academics are kind of tough here. Professors sometimes don't give good grades. About 10-20% of the students get a failing grade.

College is well known and best college as compared to others.

Faculty: The teachers are very nice and helpful but the grading is so bad in our batch and all the teachers are postdoctorate and more knowledgeable. The course curriculum is so much more relevant. The semester exams are the toughest in comparison to other colleges. Pass percentage is 70%.

Great college life and a great start to your career.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. We have the most flexible curriculum and can even do courses in other departments and get minors and majors in them. The courses of the civil department are great and definitely make us industry ready. The exams are a little difficult, but mostly people pass; grades might get compromised.

Very good infrastructure of the campus. Best professors and high packages.

Faculty: The professors are more than qualified. They are very helpful; some are very good at teaching. The teaching quality is excellent. One cannot complain about the teaching style and curriculum. But with good teachers come even harder exams. The exams are very tough in the mechanical department.

Absolutely satisfied because of the environment and lifestyle of the college; best placement in 2022

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 ope...

It's not a private college. It's IIT Kanpur. No doubt about anything.

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.
