How is mechanical engineering at PSIT, Kanpur?
Mechanical engineering is not good in PSIT Kanpur. You will regret your decision of taking admission there. Following are the reasons why you should not join PSIT Kanpur
- PSIT Kanpur has very strict rules and regulations and parents have to pay a fine for everything.
- 90% attendance is compulsory, CCTV cameras are installed inside all the classrooms.
- You cannot even sit and study in the library if you have some boring lectures going on.
- You will not gain any knowledge even after spending 4 precious years.
- PSIT Kanpur lacks a competitive environment for GATE, CAT, etc. If a student wishes to prepare for any competition exam, the college rules are so strict that there will be no time left for your preparation
Here’s presenting some facts about Mechanical Engineering at PSIT Kanpur -
| Categories | Mechanical Engineering at PSIT Kanpur |
| Course Fee | 5.60 lakh |
| Placement Percentage | 80-85% |
| Highest CTC | 8-10 LPA |
| Average CTC | 3.7-4 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | TCS, Infosys, Wipro. |
One of my friends qualified GATE with a respectable score that will lead him to do masters from IIT Bombay but believe me PSIT has no role in this. I even believe that if he would have done B.Tech from any other college then he would have got a better score in my final year.
Therefore whoever is planning to take admission in PSIT. I will suggest you not to take admission here.
