What Students Say
Studying at one of India's premier institutes has been a privilege. The opportunities to learn from top professors, infrastructure, and peers have honed my skills for the real world. Thanks to the Office of International Relations for their immense support, which made my stay at IIT Kanpur and in India enriching.
The IITK campus offers a really pleasant and calm living environment! Everything is accessible in less than 5 minutes by cycle. Our thanks to the staff of the Office of International Relations who were always very helpful but also thanks to the teachers, VH2 staff and also the guards who have always been very welcoming and offered us the best experience!
All the facilities available in IITK are great from the sports fields and activity clubs to canteen etc. The calm environment of the campus and the open minded students are nice and the hospitality I received was amazing.
It is the perfect environment for studying. The labs were very well-equipped and colleagues were always ready to assist in case of difficulties.
My stay here was wonderful and priceless. I enjoyed every bit of my stay here, working with the people, working with my lab mates - it was a beautiful experience. My host supervisor was a very wonderful man. So I have gained both in knowledge and in exposure. Now I can recommend IITK for my people back home in Nigeria.
I wish to express my gratitude to the IIT Kanpur community for the considerable support I received to complete my studies. Also, I would like to extend my thanks to the Aerospace department for ensuring my stay without any difficulties. Throughout the pandemic, I received significant support from International Relations at IIT Kanpur. Thank you very much for everything!
