The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (commonly known as IIT Kanpur or IITK) is a public research college located in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. It was declared to be Institute of National Importance by Government of India under IIT Act.

Established in 1959 as one of the first Indian Institutes of Technology, the institute was created with the assistance of a consortium of nine leading US research universities as part of the Kanpur Indo-American Programme (KIAP).[5]

History[edit]

Faculty Building, IIT Kanpur

IIT Kanpur was established by an Act of Parliament in 1959. The institute was started in December 1959 in a room in the canteen building of the Harcourt Butler Technological Institute at Agricultural Gardens in Kanpur. In 1963, the institute moved to its present location, on the Grand Trunk Road near the village of Kalyanpur in Kanpur district.

During the first ten years of its existence, IIT Kanpur benefited from the Kanpur Indo-American Programme (KIAP), where a consortium of nine US universities (namely M.I.T, University of California, Berkeley, California Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Carnegie Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Case Institute of Technology and Purdue University) helped set up the research laboratories and academic programmes.[6] The first Director of the Institute was P. K. Kelkar (after whom the Central Library was renamed in 2002).

Under the guidance of economist John Kenneth Galbraith, IIT Kanpur was the first institute in India to offer Computer Science education.[7] The earliest computer courses were started at IIT Kanpur in August 1963 on an IBM 1620 system. The initiative for computer education came from the Electrical Engineering department, then under the chairmanship of Prof. H.K. Kesavan, who was concurrently the chairman of Electrical Engineering and head of the Computer Centre. Prof. Harry Huskey of the University of California, Berkeley, who preceded Kesavan, was instrumental in providing the impetus for the computer activity at IIT-Kanpur. In 1971, the institute initiated an independent academic program in Computer Science and Engineering, leading to M.Tech. and Ph.D. degrees.

In 1972 the KIAP program ended, in part because of tensions due to the U.S. support of Pakistan. Government funding was also reduced as a reaction to the sentiment that the IIT's were contributing to the brain drain. Since then IIT Kanpur has increased collaboration with industry and has achieved a reasonable level of stability.

Campus[edit]

IIT Kanpur is located on the Grand Trunk Road, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) west of Kanpur City and measures close to 420 hectares (1,000 acres). This land was donated by the Government of Uttar Pradesh in 1960 and by March 1963 the Institute had moved to its current location.

PK Kelkar Library

The institute has around 6478 students with 3938 undergraduate students and 2540 postgraduate students and about 500 research associates.

Noida Extension centre[edit]

IIT Kanpur is to open an extension centre in Noida with the plan of making a small convention centre there for supporting outreach activities. Its foundation was laid on 4 December 2012 on 5 acres of land allocated by Uttar Pradesh state government in the sector-62 of Noida city, which is less than an hour travel from the National Capital and also the Indira Gandhi International Airport. The cost of construction is estimated to be about 25 crores. The new campus will have an auditorium, seminar halls for organising national and international conferences and an International Relations Office along with a 7-storey guest house. Several short-term management courses and refresher courses meant for distance learning will also be offered at extension center.[8]

Academic Area[edit]

Institute's Academic Area comprises academic buildings and facilities including the PK Kelkar Library, Computer Centre, National Wind Tunnel Facility and SIDBI Innovation and Incubation Centre. It also houses faculty offices, laboratories and administrative buildings. The academic area is connected by a long corridor which links all the major buildings.

IIT Kanpur has 10 boys' hostels, 2 girls' hostels and one girls' residence tower all together called the 'Halls of Residence'.

Students' Activity Centre (SAC)[edit]

SAC is the hub for most of the major extra-curricular activities. There are two SAC buildings, the older building(Old-SAC) and the other (New-SAC), which was recently built. New-SAC also has an open-air theatre (OAT) with capacity of over 1400 people. The SAC is maintained and managed by the Students' Gymkhana at IIT Kanpur.

Helicopter Service[edit]

On 1 June 2013, a helicopter ferry service was started at IIT Kanpur run by Pawan Hans Helicopters Limited. In its initial run the service connects IIT Kanpur to Lucknow, but it is planned to later extend it to New Delhi. Currently there are two flights daily to-and-fro to Lucknow Airport with a travel time of 25 minutes. The service provides access to Lucknow Airport, which operates both international and domestic flights to major cities. IIT Kanpur is the first academic institution in the country to provide such a facility.[9][10]

Admissions[edit]

Undergraduate admissions until 2012 were being done through the national-level Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE). Following the Ministry of Human Resource Development's decision to replace IIT-JEE with a common engineering entrance examination, IIT Kanpur's admissions are now based on JEE-Advanced level(Joint Entrance Examination)along with other IITs.

Postgraduate admissions are made through the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering.[11]

Academic Bodies and Activities[edit]

IIT Kanpur Faculty Building

IIT Kanpur is one of India's premier Technical Institutions. But, in addition to the technical courses, IIT Kanpur offers various courses on management and social sciences as well.

Undergraduate[edit]

IIT Kanpur offers four-year B.Tech programs in Aerospace Engineering, Biological Sciences and Bio-engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. The admission to these programs is procured through Joint Entrance Examination. IITK offers admission only to Bachelor's degree now (discontinuing the integrated course programs), but it can be extended by 1 year to make it integrated, depending on the choice of student and based on his/her performance there at undergraduate level. IIT Kanpur also offers four-year B.S. Programs in Pure and Applied Sciences (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in particular) and in Economics.[27]

New academic system[edit]

From 2011, IIT Kanpur has started offering a four-year BS program in sciences and has kept its B.Tech Program intact. Entry to the five-year M.Tech/MBA programs and Dual degree programme will be done based on the CPI of students instead of JEE rank.[28] In order to relieve students from high number of exams, IIT Kanpur has also abolished the earlier system of conducting two mid-term examinations. Instead, only two examinations (plus two quizzes in most courses depending on the instructor-in-charge, one before mid-semesters and the other after the mid-semesters and before the end-semesters examination), one between the semester and other towards the end of it would be held from the academic session starting July 2011 onward as per Academic Review Committee's recommendations.

Postgraduate[edit]

Postgraduate courses in Engineering offer Master of Technology (M.Tech) and Ph.D. degrees. The institute also offers two tear M.Sc. courses in areas of basic sciences in which students are admitted through JAM exam. The institute also offers M.Des. (2 years), M.B.A. (2 years) and M.Sc. (2 years) degrees. Admissions to M. Tech is made once a year through Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering.Admissions to M. Des is made once a year through both Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering(GATE) and Common Entrance Exam for Design(CEED). Until 2011, admissions to the M.B.A. program are accomplished through the Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET), held yearly, and followed by a Group Discussion/Personal Interview process. In 2011, JMET was replaced by Common Admission Test (CAT).[29][30]

SIIC provides a platform to business Start-ups to develop their ideas into commercially viable products. SIIC conducted the Nettech Summer Program 2007 for engineering students from all over India at IIT Kanpur Campus.[32]

A team of students, working under the guidance of faculty members of the institute and scientists of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) have designed and built India's first nano satellite Jugnu, which was successfully launched in orbit on 12 Oct 2011 by ISRO's PSLV-C18.[33]

Students' research related activity[edit]

Research is controlled by the Office of the Dean of Research and Development. Under the aegis of the Office the students publish the quarterly NERD Magazine (Notes on Engineering Research and Development) which publishes scientific and technical content created by students. Articles may be original work done by students in the form of hobby projects, term projects, internships, or theses. Articles of general interest which are informative but do not reflect original work are also accepted.

Along with the magazine a student research platform PoWER (Promotion of Work Experience and Research) has been started. Under it several independent student groups are working on projects like the Lunar Rover for ISRO, alternate energy solutions under the Group for Environment and Energy Engineering, ICT solutions through a group Young Engineers, solution for diabetes, green community solutions through ideas like zero water and zero waste quality air approach. Through BRaIN(Biological Research and Innovation Network) students interested in solving biological problems get involved in research projects like Genetically modifying fruit flies to study molecular systems, Developing bio-sensor to detect alcohol levels,etc.A budget of Rs 1.5 to 2 crore has been envisaged to support student projects that demonstrate technology.

The students of IIT Kanpur made a nano satellite called Jugnu, This small satellite was given by president Pratibha Patil to ISRO for launch. Jugnu is an Indian technology demonstration and remote sensing satellite which will be operated by the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. It is a nanosatellite which will be used to provide data for agriculture and disaster monitoring. It is a 3-kilogram (6.6 lb) spacecraft, which measures 34 centimetres (13 in) in length by 10 centimetres (3.9 in) in height and width. Its development programme cost around 25 million rupee. It has a design life of one year. Jugnu's primary instrument is the Micro Imaging System, a near infrared camera which will be used to observe vegetation. It also carries a GPS receiver to aid tracking, and is intended to demonstrate a microelectromechanical inertial measurement unit.

  • IITK Motorsports

IITK motorsports is the biggest and most comprehensive student initiative of IIT Kanpur, founded in January 2011. It is a group of self-motivated students from varied disciplines who aim at designing and fabricating a Formula-style race car for international Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) events. The event encompasses all aspects of any real world engineering project including research, design, manufacturing, testing, developing, marketing, management, and fund raising. Most of the components of the car, except the engine, tyres and wheel rims, are designed and manufactured to precision by the team members themselves, implementing their theoretical knowledge to practical aspects of engineering. The car is designed to provide maximum performance under the constraints of the event, while ensuring driveability, reliability, driver safety and aesthetics of the car are not compromised.[34]

The institute is part of the European Research and Education Collaboration with Asia (EURECA) programme since 2008.[35]

Shiksha Sopan[edit]

Shiksha Sopan[36] is a registered Non-governmental organization (NGO) whose purpose is to impart value- based education to economically weaker section of the society. Its various activities are spreaded in and around the lush-green campus of IIT Kanpur. It is run by IIT Kanpur students, faculty members, employees and local young enthusiastic people for the upliftment of underdeveloped sections of the society through meaningful education.

History[edit]

It was started by Dr. HC Verma and a group of IIT Kanpur students together with some socially active persons from the locality in 2001-02 with a primary aim to establish an educational institution in underdeveloped localities close to IIT Kanpur that will build knowledgeable, self-dependent, confident, socially conscious beings who would be responsible and sensitive to society.

Motivation[edit]

Present education system lacks the basic elements of practical knowledge, ethical and virtuous value system. This kind of educational system is not of much use in the life of a common villager nor does it help making him self-sustained or self-dependent. Inspired by such rational thoughts, a group of IIT Kanpur students together with some socially active persons from the locality decided to overcome this bottleneck by setting up an educational system that would go beyond the narrow bookish education and link the education to requirements of everyday life of students. These concepts led to the establishment of Shiksha Sopan, literally meaning a ladder to education.

Activities[edit]

The school has a Nutrition programme under which some nutritious breakfast is given to all students. The management for preparing and distributing the items is largely done by the students themselves. They also participate in other management activities.

The school is running in a small rental house. Though the school timing is generally for 5 hr in the morning, teachers and students are seen in the school almost every hour of the day. Informal activities such as games, music, story telling etc. keep on going. During vacations, special classes are held to develop the professional skills as well as personality development.

It has conducted classes for tailoring, embroidery, candle making, register binding, painting etc.

It runs various activities in and around IITK campus. The daily activities include evening learning centers and an informal education center. Currently, there are two evening learning centers. One center runs at old SAC in IITK campus, and another one in a nearby village, Barasirohi. The informal education center, which is called Sopan Anaupchaarik Shikshan Kendra (SASK), also runs in Barasirohi village in the normal school hours in morning. The details of each activity are give below.

Executive Committee[edit]

The Executive Committee looks upon all the matters of the Organisation. It has a very well balanced hierarchy which has got people involved from all sections i.e. faculty, local residents and students of IITK.

Modes of Financial Contribution[edit]

The money needed to run Shiksha Sopan activities comes only through individual donations from its members and well wishers. So far, the organisation has not accepted any grants from any funding agencies.

Apart from the above schemes, any open donation of any amount is gratefully accepted. These are used for cultural functions, special training classes, audit fee etc. Office maintenance expense is almost zero.

Students' Placement Office (SPO)[edit]

Student’s Placement Office IIT Kanpur is a student run organisation guided by a faculty member, the Chairman SPO. There are three staff members and an advisor to assist in managing the office in a professional and efficient manner. The main mandate of the Student’s Placement Office is to provide a platform for the smooth interaction between companies and the graduating and pre-final students and to assist the companies in every possible way to recruit the best minds of the country.

Team Structure[edit]

The team comprises of Overall Placement Coordinators (OPC's), Head Placement Preparation (HPP), Departmental Placement Coordinators (DPC's) and a core team comprising of students from pre-final year.

The companies visit the campus for the final hiring of the students for full time employment and training opportunities. The process starts with the expression of interest by the company to participate in campus recruitment drive by filling of an online form, JAF- Job announcement form in which all the details about the job on offer are given by the company officials. Then SPO does a job opening on an indigenously made portal (PAS- Placement Automation System) for the students to apply. The company officials are also given a login – id and password to edit the job description and other details as they wish thereafter. The company officials then visit the campus to deliver their pre placement talk which helps in generating awareness about work domain and culture of the company. The recruitment drive starts from December 1st when the students are hired finally. In the meanwhile SPO helps in conducting of the tests, interviews, pre placement talks and manages the entire logistics of the process. Over the years the hospitality and the functioning of SPO is applauded and well received by the visiting recruiters every year. With over 2000 companies contacted each year SPO has maintained a prolific placement record among all IITs despite the recession during the past couple of years.

Other than managing the entire Placement process, SPO also has a Preparation wing which caters to help the students prepare for their placements’ tests and interviews and develop an overall personality. Aptitude and technical tests, resume making session, mock personal interview and group discussion sessions etc are conducted weekly for the benefit of the students.

Every year the team SPO tries its best to achieve its mandate.

Alumni Contact Program (ACP)[edit]
