The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) was the first department in India to start Computer Science education. It started in August 1963 with an IBM 1620 system - a novelty then, even in many North American and European universities. The department is engaged in research work and developing cutting-edge advances. Many of the nation's leading experts, educationists and consultants in computer science today are the alumni of this department.

The American curriculum of the 1960s (Feynman lectures) got embedded into its ethos, however, the local culture of UP and the dying city of Kanpur also left its mark on it. Because people don't realise what they are missing by not going for IIT-Kanpur CS. It is t...more
