Management is not good.

Academics

The teachers were knowledgeable but management is not cooperative they should focus more on club activities rather the college facilities. They should more have to focus on studies rather than these club activities.

College Infra

There are well-furnished labs, classrooms and a library, and there is a free Wi-Fi connection in the college. The food provided by the mess is decent and in addition, the campus has various other refreshment outlets like Coffee Day Express.

Placements

The companies that recruited students from the campus were Oki General, Amazon, Deloitte, Hdfc bank, ICICI Bank, Deskera, Kotak Mahindra Bank. Top roles offered at our campus are sales and marketing executive, assistant manager, HR manager, and business analysis.

Academics

IIT Kanpur is known worldwide for its academic rigour and excellence. The lectures are designed in sync with the current industry requirements and also help us to develop interest as well as expertise in that particular subject.

College Infra

The infrastructure here at IIT Kanpur is really good and well maintained. The basic facilities like library, classrooms, lecture halls are high tech and really advanced. Even the new hostels are really cool and good.

Campus Life

Woah! Is it even required? Like the campus Life here at IIT Kanpur is so full of life! On campus all around the year, a lot of activities and events are organised. But during the annual fest... The vibe is altogether different!

Placements

Placements are an outcome of the academics and rigour of the students. So the placement scenario here is quite chill, meaning thereby the top companies of the core as well as non core areas comeon campus for hiring and recruitment process.

Value For Money

In the fees of 10-11 lakhs (for the full 4 years), if one is getting so much of industrial exposure, academic rigour and lifelong network then the college is without an iota of doubt value for money! ????

Giving a review is good experience.
