IIT Kanpur: 3 Answered Questions

How is the BS in Physics at IIT Kanpur?

Savi Sharma

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.

How are placements at IIT Kanpur for BS in physics?

Mansi Jain

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?
