Student Placement

The PG programme at IIT Kanpur is one of the most intense and demanding in the country. A graduating PG student is not only theoretically sound but is also very well versed with latest computational and experimental skills.

A lot of students are absorbed in other premier research organizations like Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), and academic institutions like IITs, BITS Pilani, NITs. Typical job profiles of our graduates could be design, manufacturing, research and development, management, etc. A lot of our PhD students pursue a career in academia. Every year a majority of students take up doctoral/postdoctoral studies in prestigious foreign universities and Labs in US, Germany, UK and Canada.
