IIT Kanpur - Indian Institute of Technology - [IITK]: 70 answered questions

Ques

Is IIT Guwahati becoming the next IIT Kanpur?

● Top Answer By Saugata Nayak on 30 Mar 23

Ans
Both IIT Guwahati and IIT Kanpur are well-respected institutions, known for their high-quality education and research. Comparing the two is already justified and saying that one institution is becoming the next of the other is more so. Both institutions have their strengths and areas of expertise. Yet, if I was to choose one I would have always gone for IIT Kanpur.  Some points that favor my preference are as follows: The quality of coursework at IIT Kanpur is extremely challenging and will keep you on your toes always. It offers the best quality of education and you will learn much more than other IITs if you are regular to classes and take your academics seriously, The usual schedule of a student at IIT Kanpur is not always jammed, unlike the general opinion. The timings of the clubs align with the classes and you can take out time for both if you are good at managing your time well. Another challenging aspect of IIT Kanpur is its tough grading system, (10,8,6,4..) under which anything below 10 is 8. Thus you are under tremendous pressure to maintain your CGPA and is enough of a motivating factor. Overall, even if Guwahati was to be compared to IIT Kanpur, it still has a long way to go until it becomes the next IIT Kanpur.

Ques

Is IIT Kharagpur better than IIT Kanpur?

● Top Answer By Saugata Nayak on 30 Mar 23

Ans
Almost all IITs are excellent engineering colleges providing the best education and amenities. Yet there might be some comparisons that can be drawn based on common aspects like choice, infrastructure, and geographical location. Eventually, it’s a matter of your preferences and not the institute's worth. For example, if you are someone who considers Academics the most important factor to determine the credibility of an institute, then IIT Kanpur is the best choice for you. It has the toughest grading system and the entire focus is on studies. So if you are excellent in academics, you will remain at the top here. Both institutes face a certain level of locational disadvantage but IIT Kanpur is still slightly better in this aspect.

Ques

What should I choose between IIT-Kanpur CSE and IIT Madras CSE?

● Top Answer By Prabhat Tripathi on 27 Jul 22

Ans
You should choose IIT Madras CSE. Being a metro city, Chennai has an edge over Kanpur. It will be easier to get resources, internships, projects, and placements. IIT Madras has a smaller batch size. So, it’s easier for students to communicate with teachers. If you are interested in Machine Learning and AI, then IITM will be the better option. CSE Prof. Balaraman Ravindran has been featured in reputed business magazines.  IIT Madras placements are excellent for CSE. Students of the branch usually receive an average CTC of around INR 17.54 LPA.

Ques

Which is better, an MBA from IIT Kanpur or a PGDISEM program from NITIE?

● Top Answer By Tanya Debnath on 11 Aug 21

Ans
MBA from any IIT would be nothing more than a disappointment that you would face except for Mumbai. ISEM is more of a cranny/vocational course that imparts knowledge and skills about maintaining, supporting, and for the well-being of society.  Categories MBA from IIT Kanpur PGDISEM from NITIE Course Fee  8.38 lakhs 14.63 lakhs Highest CTC 28 LPA 25 LPA Average CTC 15 LPA 12-16 LPA Recruiting Companies Nestle, Asian Paints, HSBC, IBM, etc. ICICI Bank, Bosch, Cognizant, HP, etc. Hence, it leaves no scope of finance, marketing, and other fields of MBA that you would wish to explore. When it comes to placements, they provide better placement opportunities in comparison to MBA programs at IIT. Make a wise choice in the selection of your college.

Most of the professors have a solid foundation in advanced concepts of theoretical physics, for example, Prof. M V Satyanarayana, Prof. M Pattabiraman, Prof. V Balakrishnan, Prof. A Lakshminarayan, etc. ? Although the level of questions set during the exams at IIT Madras is always up to the mark, almost no students fail in the institute due to the teaching facilities offered throughout the year. ? Talking about the campus of IIT Madras, it is extremely beautiful, being close to the sea as well. Therefore, although both the institutes are equally excellent, IIT Madras can be a better option for students interested in Physics, considering the points listed above.

Ques

Which college should I join among IISER Pune, IIT Madras Physics, IIT Kanpur Physics or IIT Engineering Physics?

● Top Answer By Simran Kaushik on 25 Jan 22

Ans
If you are truly passionate about Physics, be it theoretical or practical, you should choose either IISER Pune or IISER Kolkata. IISER Kolkata is the best option for Physics, while IISER Pune is well-known for its overall academics and infrastructure. Here are the reasons why you should prefer IISER over IIT. Most students joining IIT, aim to get corporate jobs. If you are interested in the subject and want to do actual research on it, IISER is the best place. You will get to meet like-minded people too.  You can check the faculty and the curriculum for Physics at IIT. Even IIT Kanpur which is known for its Physics department puts more emphasis on applied Physics. Most IITs leave out theory-oriented courses like ‘Cosmology’. Also, you won’t get the lab infrastructure similar to IISER at IITs. The labs at IISERs are specifically designed for research works. From the 5th semester onwards, the course curriculum at IITs become quite different. It becomes more technology-oriented. While students at IISERs are required to do a one-year-long research project.   Based on the performance over the last few years, IISER Pune will be better than IISER Kolkata.

Ques

How can I choose between IIT Madras and IIT Kanpur?

● Top Answer By Aditi Sengupta on 12 Apr 23

Ans
Choosing between IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras can be a daunting task, but there are a few things to keep in mind while making this decision. If you are from the North and want to be near home, then choose IIT Kanpur. For a South Indian, IIT Madras might be a better option. If you want to explore different parts of the country and experience diverse cultures, then you should consider the IIT in the other region. For example, a north Indian should choose IIT Madras and a south Indian should opt for IIT Kanpur. Don't get caught up in the rankings or the location. Both institutes are highly prestigious and offer excellent education and opportunities. In the past, IIT Kanpur used to close early, but that should not be a decisive factor. You must keep in mind that both institutes are highly respected and highly regarded that offer excellent academic programs, faculty, and research opportunities.
