The institute has around 6478 students with 3938 undergraduate students and 2540 postgraduate students and about 500 research associates.

Visited IITK for flight lab course. Amazed by the amenities and facilities provided. We had been given AC rooms for 6 day with charge of around 3k ₹ for this tenure. The labs are well equipped and advanced.
NWTF is the star of IITK.
Other labs were equally amazing.

One of the most prestigious college in the country, with all the facility for research and very peaceful place for study with great professors.

Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (abbreviated as IIT Kanpur; Hindi: भारतीय प्रौद्योगिकी संस्थान कानपुर) is a public technical university located in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was declared to be an Institute of National Importance by the Government of India under the Institutes of Technology Act

IIT Kanpur was established by an Act of Parliament in 1960 by the Government of India. The institute was started in December 1959 in a room in the canteen building of the Harcourt Butler Technological Institute at Agricultural Gardens in Kanpur. In 1963, the institute moved to its present location, on the Grand Trunk Road near the locality of Kalyanpur in Kanpur district.[5] The campus was designed by Achyut Kavinde in a modernist style.

During the first ten years of its existence, a consortium of nine US universities (namely MIT, UCB, California Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Carnegie Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Case Institute of Technology and Purdue University) helped set up IIT Kanpur's research laboratories and academic programmes under the Kanpur Indo-American Programme (KIAP).[6] The first director of the institute was P. K. Kelkar (after whom the Central Library was renamed in 2002).[7]

Under the guidance of economist John Kenneth Galbraith, IIT Kanpur was the first institute in India to offer Computer science education.[7][8] The earliest computer course was started at the institute in August 1963 on an IBM 1620 system. The initiative for computer education came from the Electrical engineering department, then under the chairmanship of Prof. H.K. Kesavan, who was concurrently the chairman of Electrical Engineering and head of the Computer Centre. Prof. Harry Huskey of the University of California, Berkeley, who preceded Kesavan, helped[7] with the computer activity at IIT-Kanpur.[7] In 1971, the institute began an independent academic program in Computer Science and Engineering, leading to MTech and PhD degrees.

Visited this college during a tech event & for a particular course. Great place to learn about different subjects in that huge library. Awesome foods inside the college/city. I enjoyed each every moment there. Awesome faculties. Institute itself is so big that it feels like a city. Airports, trains, almost each and every fields buildings out there. It's just too much.

IIT Kanpur is one of the top engineering colleges across India, and it is known for its extremely good placements. In 2020, in spite of the COVID pandemic, the highest domestic salary package offered was more than that of the previous year.
