IITK is one of the best institutes in the country. The only drawback is the location.

Placements: Placement cells are quite active in the institute but PhD students don't enrol in placement as they are more interested in academics, so they try for Postdoc fellowship, from some better institute. Placements are not so active for PhD candidates but still we receive mails in the case of a vacancy in some industry or institute

Best among IITs, best for studies,and a very tough grading scheme as compared to other IITs

Placements: In 2016, around 300 companies came for placements. Among them, around 50 % were for software development. Core companies for the civil department were around 5 or 6 only, that came after 3 days of placements. Few of them are L&T , Sarpoonji Paloonji, and a few others. For the internship, only 1 or 2 companies came. Mostly, students apply outside India or try through the offline campus. The average salary offered by these core company is around 6 to 7 lakhs (minimum is 5 lakhs). It is obvious ...

I love my college in every aspect.

Placements: I am talking about the Mechanical department as I know more about it. Around 60-70% are placed while dual degree had 100% placement in the last year. Highest salary grabbers are non-tech students. I am not sure about it. Last year it was 33 lakhs. The average salary is around 9 to 10 lakhs. Most of them are core companies but finance companies also come. For companies, visit IITK internships site (http://spo.iitk.ac.in/). Most of the students are untrained so companies prepare them first. Mos...

A place to learn, explore, and evolve not only educated but as a learned individual

Placements: There are no eyebrows raised if you aspire to get placed from an institute of this stature. All those willing to get placed are placed from my and my senior's batch. Not only that, everyone got placed in the domain of their choice. Be it software, analytics, academics, management, or core departmental jobs, all the options are very much within our reach when we are a part of this institute.

A university with one of the best facilities in India.

Placements: The procedure for placement is pretty simple. The placement team is usually very cooperative to help you get into the company that you need. For my batch which sat for placements in December 2015, there was around 77% placement in the first phase (one month in December). The highest package for core in chemical engineering was around 20 LPA, the lowest was around 6.2 LPA. Along with a fair distribution of people in the low to high range, the average package goes to around 7.25 LPA, like every ot...

But still it is probably, sorry definitely it is one of the best places in this country. But in case you join this institute please do a lot more than study, there is so much to explore.

This is one of the oldest IITs, well known for its great academics, alumni base and their achievements. I was always fascinated by its brand name. The first Computer Science department of our country was formed at IIT Kanpur. There was a time when all the IIT-JEE toppers used to join IIT Kanpur, as it was their first preference. Though it suffers from a location disadvantage as Kanpur is not well connected with the rest of India due to lack of a proper airport, Lucknow airport is the nearest. ...

Comparatively, it has the best infrastructure among all IITs. Its course structure is considered the most rigorous, second only to IIT Kharagpur. The ChE Department has a very impressive faculty and high-quality labs. The college has a practical course structure with lots of electives to get a specialisation in other fields. It has all the modern sporting facilities including modern indoor basketball and badminton courts and also floodlit basketball and hockey grounds.
