Final Call! Applications Closing Soon for IIT Kanpur’s Online Postgraduate Programs

20 Nov, 2025 | IITK News

Last few days left! IIT Kanpur is closing admissions soon for its online M.Tech, M.Sc., and PG Diploma programs, designed to bring IIT-standard learning to professionals across India and abroad.

Built on six decades of academic excellence, these programs maintain the same content, structure, and evaluation as on-campus courses, governed by IIT Kanpur’s Senate. At least 85% of the coursework is developed and delivered by IIT Kanpur faculty and long-term visiting faculty, with selective industry inputs for practical relevance.

To uphold academic integrity, a minimum of 50% of the total grade comes from in-person, proctored exams conducted at authorized centres across major Indian cities. International learners can opt for transparent online proctoring.

Hands-on learning is enabled through virtual labs, simulations, and project-based coursework. For programs requiring physical lab work, hybrid models such as short campus residencies are being explored.

These online programs are self-sustaining, ensuring long-term quality through advanced digital infrastructure and secure evaluations.

Extended Application Deadlines:
For IIT Kanpur Online Entrance Test applicants: 16 November 2025
For entrance-test-exempt applicants: 2 December 2025

A special inaugural batch offer is available for the January 2026 cohort.

IIT Kanpur reaffirms that access to excellence should not be limited by geography. Whether in Kanpur or anywhere across the world, learners receive the same rigorous and globally credible IIT Kanpur experience.
