IIT Kanpur was the first institute in India to start a Computer Science Department.

IIT Kanpur has a rich base of alumni in this space who have made a remarkable impact around the world (Dr. Arvind Krishnan, CEO IBM, Dr. Rajeev Motwani, Google mentor, Dr. Narayan Murthy, Founder Infosys, Mr. Amit Agarwal, CTO Amazon to name few)

While education is impacted, some of the institutions continue to do well as they have realized the importance of practice. There is no substitution to practice. While other jobs are impacted due to COVID 19 coding jobs are still in demand.

To solve the problem of teaching introductory programming to Engineering students, Dr. Amey Karkare, Computer Science Department at IIT Kanpur has developed software - Prutor, that is being used at IIT Bombay, IIT Goa, IIT Kanpur, IISC Bangalore, IISER Bhopal, and EICT Academy IIT Kanpur to teach programming to more than 40,000+ students.

We believe in the practical and industry-based approach of teaching at Prutor.online.
