Friendly Environment

The institute is well organised with full support from the students, staff and management committee.

The candidate must have cleared GATE examination before pursuing M. Tech. We had to clear one written exam followed by an oral exam in the institute. IIT Kanpur offers huge amount of flexibility and good infrastructure for research.

The course content is very good. Apart from the conventional courses, e.g. core subjects, many advanced topics were part of curriculum. The Professors really work hard to make sure that the students actively participate in the discussion and get full exposure to the subject area. The major focus in the institute is in research. As a results, the approach of the teaching was also focused on research. Open book tests really reflected the overall understanding of the student.

The fee structure is moderate. It is around 15000 per semester for PG students. It is feasible for PG students since they receive scholarships from Government of India and the tuition fee is just 2500 per student. The huge facility in the institute justify the fee structure.

Good scholarships are provided by Government of India for the students to study in the institute. SBI and UBI provide loans to the students for supporting their study.

The campus life is very good. It has a calm and quite environment useful for study. Students actively participate in different form of extracurricular activities including football, cricket, badminton, tennis, gym, yoga, music, swimming, hockey, dance, drama etc.

The exams and labs truly reflect the overall understanding of the subject matter of the students. The grading is relative rather than absolute. One academic year constitutes two semester and 2 mid term examinations. The schedule is somewhat packed in nature.

The notification for PhD was released around April. The application had to be sent along with a demand draft. The selected candidates were asked for a written exam followed by an oral exam. The topics include engineering subjects, English and Mathematics. Two panels were constituted for taking the oral exam in parallel. The result was announced around two weeks after the exams. The arrangements were made by the teaching assistants and Professors. Accommodations were also made in pleasant environment during visit to the institute for the candidates. Later the selected candidates were given detailed instructions and suggestions regarding their stay in the institute and the documents needed during the orientation program in the institute.

The faculties deserve kudos from the students. They try to make the subjects easy to the students. Sometimes they set different questions for different group of students in exams and quizzes. Presentations and term papers also become part of courses. The grading is relative rather than absolute, so even if the questions are set tough enough, there is always a provision to get grade A in any subject.
