Student Reviews & Testimonials

A Bajpai

I have recently visited Kanpur University after a gap of almost 20 years and I was literally amazed to see the transformation this institution has gone through. The minute you enter the premises you will be impressed by the beautiful and massive infrastructure the university has. Starting from Administrative blocks to department buildings , auditoriums , guest houses and sports complexes everything is just amazing. There is a huge auditorium still under construction. There are variety of courses offered at the university . The fees is also nominal in comparison to private institutions. I can not comment on the quality of education as I could not interact with the professors or the students but it must be great for sure . Easily one of the best university infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh or in India .
