IIT KANPUR: THE COLLEGE OF HOPES

There are a lot of trees providing us a healthy environment to live and study in.
It provides various other opportunities to shine like in sports music gaming etc.

Gender ratio is not good enough here in IIT kanpur

Many companies give intern to ur college students in the third year like McKenzie, Microsoft etc. I have been doing some fusion 360 projects for the upcoming design and animation interns which is my hobby.

The academics here may be tough but they are enjoyable. Professors are good and the cources here train you to be great. They are tough but relevant
The clubs here provide great exposure to various things. There are both cultural and technology clubs

Climate is extreme. It's too cold or too hot during winters and summers.
The grading is harsh you have to work really hard to score.

During 3rd year SPO brings various companies to campus which provide internships. The opportunities are plenty and many projects are offered due to clubs and all. The outcome is great. Professor projects, club projects, startup projects etc

IIT Kanpur Honest review

4.1Helpful

When i visited the college for the first time a year ago, i was astonished by the beautiful campus. The campus was lush green, beautiful and drones and other technical instruments flying and what not. The hostel was also quite nice .
During my first semester, the academics was not much touch as i had heard of, it was easy and you could pass by starting to study a week before the exams. However, they became slightly tough in the second semester, but it was manageable.

There is not much but the attendance criteria in some courses.
Some professors are very intelligent but they lack the ability to teach or to convey the knowledge to the students.

Internship opportunities are quite good. Student placement office helps you in your internship . However, you must have a good CPI and skills required for an intern. The companies offer a good stipend and you get to learn a lot.

Infrastructure and faculties and facilities provided.
Peers and culture are so good they help you to grow

Pressure of society and by professors in campus
Hype by the society is so bad and worst to survive

Quant role in hfts high frequency trading companies are trading company student will design algorithm and software for stock or crypto trading.

A review of IIT Kanpur by Shamit Kamble

The mess food is really good at my hostel (Hall 2) and there are plenty of sports facilities like volleyball, badminton courts, table tennis that are available in almost all of the hostels.
There is a lot of greenery in the campus which attracts peafowls, Neelgais, etc.

The location of IIT Kanpur in Kanpur, U.P can make students who come from the metro cities feel a little isolated at times.
The academics can sometimes get very rigorous and hectic and can demand a lot of time from the students which can affect their time that is dedicated for the student clubs and other extra curriculars.

The internship drive starts at the beginning of the 3rd year for the UGs and we get lucrative internship opportunities at companies like American Express, Citi Bank, Barclays, JPM in the analytics profile. The major recruiters in the software profile are Oracle, Microsoft and Optiver.

3.9Helpful

Things that I like is that the mess food after 1st year is very good as compare to other IIT's.
In the college there are many clubs and socities in which you can participate according to your nich.

The hostels after the first is year is not good although some hostels is good but not all.
If you are in the college you will find the water is not available easily this is the worst thing.

The internships happens in the 3rd year which starts from the 5th semester and goes in the end of the 6 th semester. Dr Raddy gives 1 lakhs 15 thousnads per month, alphagrep give 9 lakhs for two months , quadeye give 11 lakhs for two months in the internships.
