B.Tech Electrical Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur

My experience at IIT Kanpur has been wonderful so far. The faculty is extremely dedicated. Irrespective of what your interests are, you will meet people here who will be able to teach you a lot in that field. The co-curricular scenario is rather outstanding, be it sports, cultural activities or anything else. The environment is highly competitive, but in a positive way.

IIT Kanpur provides a great experience for students in various aspects of life. Beginning from meeting/living people from/with different parts of the country a student will have exposure to various kinds of cultures. The infrastructure provided is one of the best in the country with practically no restrictions over access to various facilities. The things lacking are environment and motivation for higher studies. Students typically go in the stampede of job hunt instead of actually following their passion. Another disadvantage is not being located in metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai which affects not only out of college life but placements as well.

See, I am not that into love with engineering, and thus sometimes felt and still feel if I have not done justice to 4 yrs of my life. Therefore I dont exactly love my college either. Nevertheless I have maintained a relatively top level CGPA, so dont think of me(I dont care otherwise too) as a loser on a rant here :-) . Objectively analysing, the college is quite good, certainly among the very best in India and arguably the best in terms of facilities provided to students. Apart from the first two yrs, where you live in a little bit cramped up space, you get to have a single room for the rest of your stay. Sports facilities are again top notch with the recent invitee Sanath Jayasuria praising the same. Other entertainment centres include a good Auditorium, an open air theatre, eateries. Lots of cultural clubs - dance , music , book, quiz, drama to name a few and of course the technical ones too - never went there! Faculty is good enough - depends on the students judging them. Lab facilities and equipments are very well maintained. The technical and cultural festivals (heard of Antaragni?) are really big affairs. Industry exposure is definitely lesser than the ones in Mumbai and Delhi- Kanpur infrastructure and roads, you know.
