IIT KANPUR
The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK) is one of the seven Indian Institutes of Technology which generates thousands of technical giant every year.it was set up in 1960. now IIT Kanpur has grown into one of the top technological institutes in India, primarily focused on research in engineering and science, and the teaching of undergraduates.

Campus
it has well-equipped modern laboratories, state-of-the-art computer network, and well stocked technical library. Teaching methods rely on direct personal contact between the teachers and the students, and the use of traditional and modern instructional techniques. Students live in a pleasant and intellectually stimulating environment with people having similar goals and aspirations, which is an exciting and unique experience.
the campus is spread over an area of 4.3 km². it has a number of facilities, including the National Wind Tunnel Facility. Other large research centres include the Advanced Centre for Material Science, a Bio-technology centre, the Advanced Centre for Electronic Systems, and the Samtel Centre for Display Technology, Centre for Mechatronics, Centre for Laser Technology, Prabhu Goel Research Centre for Computer and Internet Security, Facility for Ecological and Analytical Testing

Computer- centre and other facilities
The Computer-Centre (referred to by the campus residents as "C-C") in IIT Kanpur has about 100-150 Linux terminals and more than 100 Windows-NT terminals supported by PARAM 10000 super computer, and is continuously available to the students for academic work and recreation. Disk storage is also provided using a networked file server system. Internet access is provided by the means of two proxy servers, one for students and another for faculty members. In addition, it hosts about 50 SUN workstations that are considered powerful workhorses for heavy computational tasks. It is a major intellectual, social and cultural hub in the campus.it should be note down that IIT Kanpur and BITS Pilani are among the first large academic institutions in India to be extensively networked, with an institute-wide LAN and Ethernet access to every student room in the residence halls.

Departments

The Institute is organised into 9 Engineering departments, along with individual departments for Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Humanities. In addition it has 5 centres and 5 inter-disciplinary programmes. Most of the Engineering departments offer B.Tech., M.Tech. and Ph.D. degrees. The inter-disciplinary programmes also offer M.Tech. and in some cases Ph.D. also. The Science departments offer M.Sc. and Ph.D. while the Humanities & Social Science department offers Ph.D. All departments, centres and inter-disciplinary programmes have their own laboratory facilities.

Programmes offered

Under-Graduate Programme

4-year B. Tech and 5-year Integrated M. Sc.The 4-year B. Tech. and 5-year Integrated M. Sc. undergraduate programmes have two components. The first component is the core programme common to all students and is carefully planned to give the students a strong base of general education in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering Sciences, Technical Arts, and Humanities and Social Sciences. The second component of the undergraduate programme includes professional courses and a project in the chosen branch of specialisation.The course structure in the core curriculum provides for large lecture classes with tutorial discussion hours and laboratory sessions in smaller goups. The professional programme, while providing the flexibility of having laboratory courses often independent of the lecture classes, culminates in a project involving the application of modern analysis and design techniques.

Two-year

M. Sc. : A limited number of candidates are also admitted to the two-year M. Sc. programme in the disciplines of Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics and Physics. These are open to those who have earned the B. Sc. degree in the relevant discipline.

B. Tech. : Aerospace Engineering, Biological Sciences and Bio-Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Metallurgical Engineering.

B. Tech. - M. Tech. : (Dual Degreee): Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering.

Post-Graduate Programme

The goals of the Postgraduate Programmes at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur comprise the following: “The development of the highest quality of scientific and engineering manpower to cater to the needs of Industry, R & D Organisations and Educational Institutions who shall have a broad grasp of the fundamental principles of sciences and the scientific method, deep understanding of their area of specialisation, innovative ability to solve new problems, and the capacity to learn continually and interact with multidisciplinary groups. Above all, they should have a capacity for free and objective enquiry, courage and integrity, awareness and sensitivity to the needs and aspirations of society.” With this end in view, the programmes are designed to include submission of a thesis through which a student may develop his concepts and intellectual skills.These programmes with their courses and specialised research aim to prepare students for their professions by enabling a perspective and breadth of knowledge related to the principal divisions of their respective fields of specialisation. A postgraduate student will typically be enrolled for three or four courses each semester, until he/she attains the necessary levels of competence before embarking on his research and thesis.
