Which college is better for B.Tech in Electrical Engineering: IIT Kanpur or IIT Kharagpur?

IIT, Kanpur in no way is a better choice than IIT, Kharagpur due to various reasons. IIT, Kanpur students enjoy lots of freedom and can feel independent as the college administration makes you feel mature enough to take rational judgements whereas norms are strict at IIT, Kharagpur. IIT, Kanpur has an average placement of 12 LPA and highest reaching up to 23 LPA whereas in IIT, Kharagpur it is 10.5 LPA, highest reaching up to 19 lakh. Although, the labs and all other equipment related facilities are remarkable in both the institutes but still, Kanpur campus is more vibrant than Kharagpur consisting a pool of talented minds in it. Now, in terms of sports facilities, both the institutes provide sufficient equipment and sports related accessories but, the court at IIT-Kanpur is better and much modern than IIT, Kharagpur which is reflected in the inter IIT sports meet.

Hello, First of all, I would like to talk about your interest. You said you are interested in electrical engineering. Electrical is more about instrumentation, power systems, and control systems while electronics is more about microelectronics, communication, and embedded systems. During placements, degree doesn't matter much but your academic and non-academic achievements. But if you are aiming for the core industry, degree should be same as per industry requirements. Speaking broadly, IIT-Kanpur is a great place to be at. The amount of freedom it gives to its students is certainly unparalleled. You will never be nagged by your hostel watchman for entering at 2:00 am. There are many such liberties which the institute grants you since it believes in your ability to make rational judgements. Then, there are excellent sports facilities in the campus. Lavish courts, sufficient equipment, and motivating coaches. A result of which can be gauged by our commendable performance in INTER IIT sports meet since the last 2-years. Not to forget, the administrative freedom and rights of the student body. The Students Gymkhana is completely run by students and has the power to make any changes for the well being of the institute. That little peak would have given you an idea of how things go about at IITK. Also, the placements of electrical engineering graduates are very decent with an average package of about 10.5 LPA. Hope this helps! All the best!
