An online orientation program took place for the incoming cohort of students in the eMaster's 2024 Batch. A total of 380 individuals have been admitted to eleven distinct eMasters programs across five departments. Best wishes are extended to all the students as they embark on this new adventure.

Commenced from January 2022, the eMasters program stands out as a unique collection of independent, flexible postgraduate programs tailored exclusively for working professionals. These programs aim to equip individuals with the essential expertise needed to navigate and remain effective in a rapidly evolving, technology-driven world. Notably, IIT Kanpur took the pioneering step within the IIT fraternity by offering the first online postgraduate degree program for working professionals.

IIT Kanpur introduces the eMasters program, an innovative Masters degree delivered through eLearning. This platform serves as a remarkable opportunity for professionals to enhance their skills and competence while deepening their domain knowledge under the expert guidance of IITK faculty.

Designed primarily for working professionals who may find it challenging to take a year off for higher studies, the eMasters program at IIT Kanpur provides a prestigious degree upon completion. Graduates receive alumni status and participate in the convocation, akin to other bachelors or masters degrees conferred by IIT Kanpur.
