Is IIT Kanpur B.S. physics good or should I go with IISER?
Both IIT Kanpur and IISER provide excellent quality education but IISER has a slight advantage when it comes to the quality of research conducted.
IIT Kanpur
- IIT Kanpur provides you with the necessary exposure and brand name.
- The students can be seen as more interested in jobs than in research work. The environment at IIT Kanpur is not conducive to cutting-edge research work.
- The professors limit their teaching to the extent that students become excellent employees for outstanding companies.
IISER
- No compulsory attendance rules yet the classes are packed with students.
- The professors are very learned and approachable. The quality of education they deliver is top notch and students are always approaching professors to get their doubts cleared
- There is great harmony between the juniors and seniors and ragging is forbidden. There are heterogeneous groups of students every year
IISER provides an excellent environment for students who want to become future scientists and contribute to society. It will also open doors for Ph.D.
How is the BS in Physics at IIT Kanpur?
The 3 foundation Physics courses taught to all engineering students in the first year are Introduction to Mechanics, Introduction to Electrodynamics, and Physics Lab.
- The courses were structured well, and the content was also interesting.
- While most of the topics covered overlapped with JEE concepts, there were additional pieces of knowledge in between.
- The assignments were intriguing and tested your skills and knowledge well.
- The exams were quite challenging and evaluated the students to the core.
- The faculty was very cooperative and was ready to help you with any doubts anytime
- Students that are enthusiastic about projects are given opportunities in theoretical/experimental work to expand their interest in Physics further.
- Decent internship offers are made to the students.
- Also, seniors who are in the Physics department have got good internships in India and abroad.
However, a BS in Physics is not a good choice if it's the placements you are after. It is a research-oriented program whereas IIT Kanpur provides an Engineering focused environment. So the best choice for a BS in Physics is IISER.
Among IIT Kharagpur, BITS Goa, IISER and Niser, which institute is best for physics (udergraduate) research?
- College wise - IIT Kharagpur > BITS Pilani >BITS Hyderabad
- Branch wise - CSE > Manufacturing science and engineering
However, this is simply a popular trend, and you don't have to follow it. It is best to make a decision based on your individual preferences.
First you should make up your mind regarding the domain you want to continue with.
Here are some information to make your decision easier:-
- IIT Kharagpur is one of the oldest institutes in India established in 1951.
- IIT Kharagpur is ranked 6th in the NIRF ranking while IIT Patna is Ranked 25th.
- IIT Kharagpur is famous for its Manufacturing science and engineering branch which is one of the core branches in B.Tech.
- IIT has a better brand name and value than BITS both in and outside of India.
- IIT Kharagpur has an Average Salary of 20 LPA with BITS Pilani at 30 LPA and BITS Hyderabad at 24 LPA.
- IIT Kharagpur has a campus area of 2100 acres compared to BITS Pilani's 328 acres.
How are placements at IIT Kanpur for BS in physics?
This is slowly becoming one of the most coveted branches of IIT Kanpur. All the software companies that open job profiles for Mechanical and Chemical students also offer roles to students of BS in Physics. In fact, you will be surprised to know that many software companies opened profiles only for CSE, EE, Mathematics, and Physics, and not for mechanical, chemical, or civil. So we can conclude that BS in Physics is considered even better than Mechanical and Chemical to a certain degree.
IIT Kanpur is second only to IISc in terms of global recognition and foreign education opportunities. It gives a constant edge to IISc in the quality of its research work and the overall standard of the institute.
While many may not agree, in my opinion, IIT Kanpur is even better than IIT Delhi or Bombay.
On an ending note, I would like to comment that make sure you go through the coursework once because the program comprises in-depth Physics concepts that everyone cannot handle.
Which institute is better for theoretical physics (especially quantum mechanics) - IIT Kanpur or IISC Bangalore?
IIT Kanpur is a better choice if you want to opt for theoretical physics (especially quantum mechanics) than IISC Bangalore.
- IIT Kanpur holds 4th rank as per NIRF ranking
- It is known for its excellent curriculums and highly qualified faculties who offer both theoretical and practical insights to the students.
- The placement scenario at IIT Kanpur is great with more than 90% of students being placed.
- The median packages of INR 19.2 LPA.
- More than 250 companies like Microsoft, Fujitsu, Samsung, Reliance, and Goldman Sachs visited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023.
