    High quality research facilities and faculty

    Verified Review
    College Infrastructure

    A masters program at IITK will have a good balance of courses and research work. And IITK has awesome, world class infrastructure for both teaching and research. The research facilities and available equipment make it an ideal place to conduct research in any stream of engineering.

    Academics

    It should be obvious that the academics at IITK is comparable to other top universities in the world. The verbatim is that, "IITK ke academics karne ke baad USA me bhi courses easy lagenge". So, be assured that you would be a well rounded, well educated person upon graduating from here.

    Placements

    The overall placement rate is very good. It would stand higher than 90%. But there is a disparity in the number of core engineering jobs available and the number of students applying for it. So there is a chance that some one may need to switch their career goals while preparing for the placements. But rest assured that whichever path you choose there will be seniors to guide you.

    College Infrastructure

    IIT Kanpur, being a top tier university in India, has world class infrastructure facilities. All the lecture halls have boards, projectors, air conditioning, adequate lighting, good seating facilities and good bicycle parking outside it too!!

    Academics

    IIT Kanpur, being a top tier university in India, and among other universities worldwide, has outstanding academics environment. The teacher to student ratio is at par with the top colleges in the world. The quality of education is very high. The curriculum gets updated every decade for appropriate needs of the industry and academia.

    Placements

    IITK is literally the GOD of placements. It has very high rate of placements. Now truth be told, there are less core sector jobs, but, the abundance of non-core and IT jobs cover for it. So, one may need to switch to a profession other than their degree but they will get placed. This is the situation in all the IITs, not just IITK. the placement office tries their best to smoothen this process for the students.

    Value for Money

    An 8 semester course will cost close to 10 lakhs over 4 years. But, needy students can always secure fee waivers or scholarships. Infact, 95% of my fee was waived! The college is very supportive in that regard. And the return of investment id of course high.

    Campus Life

    The campus life and living environment at IITK was so beautiful, so elegant, it was just wow. The professors are chill outside of classrooms (not the same inside classrooms!), the seniors are friendly and supportive everywhere. But sometimes the office staff can make you run for your money! But overall it gives so much exposure, freedom that I cherish every moment being there.
