What Students Say
Likes
- The best thing about this college is the Alumni network of this college. Many of the alumni are working at very reputed firms and MNCs and government bodies.
- The competitive coding culture of this college is much better than many of the Tier-2 colleges. Students have pretty good ratings in Coding platforms like Leetcode, Codeforces, Codechef, etc.
- The students have sufficient time for their own personal activities. If someone is preparing for higher studies like MBA or M.tech. or even want to prepare for government services he/she can easily manage it with academics.
Dislikes
- The infrastructure could be more better. Like new buildings for every department (presently it is for Chemical and Mechanical branch department only)

Some faculty members of IET Lucknow are very chill towards academics and some are strict as well (also depends upon department as well). However, all the faculties are well qualified (mostly of them have Ph.D. from very recognized universities) and have a teaching experience of more than 20 years. Also there are two mid term exams namely CT-1 and CT-2 and students can score well by focusing on the lectures and preparing notes well. Many of the professors are working on some advance and trending research topics.
