The highest package was 40 LPA which is in Google, and the lowest is around 10 LPA not idea about company, the average package is around 16 LPA.

Strict curriculum, good infrastructure, very good placement record with the highest package 4 crore.

Placements: The placement record of IIT Kanpur is great; in the recession, almost all UG students were placed. Companies like Google, Amazon and startups come for placements. In my department, students go into SDE, consultancy, and product management profiles; very few opt for the core profile. Core companies like Dr. Reddy's Lab and Vedanta also come. The average package in chemical engineering is 20 lacs per year. Placement records are very good but internship opportunities in chemical engineering are qui...

Good and bad points of IITK.

Placements: In general, placements at IIT Kanpur are excellent, but this year, due to the recession, they were not as good. The average CTC of my branch, Biological Sciences and Bioengineering, is 22 LPA, and the median is 20 LPA, with a placement percentage of around 85% because around 25 out of 30 students SAT for placements get placed. If you LOOK at the branch only from a placement point of view, then Biological Sciences and Bioengineering (BSBE) have better placement than other core branches.

Gyaan Of IIT Kanpur for Chemical Engineers.

Placements: In 2024, the placement statistics are very poor due to online studying and the skill gap it has created, exacerbated by the recession. Some companies did not participate in campus placements, and those that did made very few offers compared to usual. This year, the placement rate is around 70%. The highest package was 2.2 CPA for the quant profile, and the average package in our department is 19 LPA.

Pros and cons of IIT Kanpur.

Placements: The Students' Placement Office (SPO) of IIT Kanpur is the primary point of contact for the recruiting companies visiting the institute.

Overall, satisfaction with the campus is high.

Placements: I am here to give an idea about the placement of an M.Sc. Chemistry student: It's pathetic; only 2 companies came by, and there was no placement for any student. Apart from this, if you want to do a Ph.D. from abroad, then this is the best place for you. Internships are not provided by the college; we had to find internships on our own. The percentage of students who got internships from my batch is, sadly, 2%.

IIT life is going to be the best part of one's life.

Placements: The students in M.Tech usually don't apply for the core companies. They apply in Tech companies and companies prefer B.Tech students over M.Tech students. Out of all the students only 3 students got placed in this placement season in which the highest package was 23 Lacs and the lowest was 9 Lacs.
