M.Sc, MBA, and Ph.D admission criteria rely on IIT JAM/CAT/GATE/NET-JRF score, followed by various counseling rounds

Ques. Is it possible to secure direct admission to IIT Kanpur?

Ans. No, admission to all programs at IIT Kanpur is solely determined by merit scored in entrance exams. Candidates must pass the JEE Advanced exam in order to enroll in BTech programs. They must first pass the JEE Main exam. IIT Kanpur offers degrees such as BSc, BS, MTech, MSc, MDes, MBA, and various Dual Degree options in addition to its primary program. The results of entrance exams such as GATE, IIT JAM, CEED, and CAT determine admission to these programs. Additionally, entrance exams are used to determine admission to PhD programs in a variety of fields.

Ques. What is the recent trend in cutoff ranks for BTech in Chemical Engineering at IIT Kanpur?

Ans. Over the past few years, the cutoff trend for IIT Kanpur's BTech in Chemical Engineering has been declining. The General category's closing rank fell from 3903 in 2024 to 3942 in 2025. Similarly, the rank shifted from 1966 to 1860 for the OBC category and from 1165 to 1131 for the SC category. The ST category saw a shift from 684 to 718, and for EWS, it was slightly adjusted from 673 to 696. This trend might continue as the demand for engineering courses in India rises. Female candidates have experienced a similar trend, although their ranks differ slightly.

Ques. What is the minimum rank for IIT Kanpur?

Ans. To get admission to IIT Kanpur, UG students opting for B.Tech CSE programs need to have a JEE Advanced Rank of 248 or lower. The closing cutoff for CSE in 2024 was 252.

Ques. What JEE Advanced rank is needed for admission to IIT Kanpur in Civil or Mechanical Engineering?

Ans. Candidates in the General AI category needed a rank of 2776 in order to be admitted to IIT Kanpur for the BTech in Civil Engineering program. The cutoff rank for the same category for the BTech in Mechanical Engineering was 10498. The necessary cutoff rank for candidates in the OBC AI category was 1392 for mechanical engineering and 2764 for civil engineering.

Ques. Is it possible to get into IIT Kanpur for a BTech program with a JEE Advanced rank between 10,000 and 15,000?

Ans. The cut-off rank for a B.Sc. in Chemistry in Round 6 for the general category under the All India quota was 11,824, which is within this range. It is difficult to gain admission with a rank below this if you are not in a reserved category.

IITK From Sparsh's Perspective

Admission:

I choose this college becouse of its flexible acdemic structure and its great Alum connections. Also this is the best college i am getting according to my rank and my interest in mathematics. I have Applied for IIT delhi in electronics. IIT Delhi is also a great college but when it comes to academic focus IIT delhi lacks there. Also there faculty administratation is so strict. if a student wants to start something or he/she has a new iniative for the college , he/she will face hard time. So I couldn't make it to IIT Roper CSE branch because my jee adance rank is not that great for the Roper' Computer science. So the Admission process here at IITK is not difficult. You just the originaly document which you have submitted in your josa counselling portal and you need to verify it once here usually a couple opf hours work. The cut-off for IITK varies-from branch to branch. For example the CSE of IITk open from Jee advanced general rank of 115 to 250.

Life @ IITK

Admission:

I chose IIT Kanpur over othe rcooleges because of its academic reputation, research opportunities and strong alumini network. I was also able to get seats in other IITs but I preferred IIT Kanpur due to its legacy . I didn't face rejections, but did not opt for some colleges even after qualifying due to lower research output, weaker placement stats. Admission process for B.Tech at IITK is through JEE Advanced exam, after qualifying JEE Mains. You also neend to satisfy cutoff for branches. Admissions are handled by JoSAA Counselling.

A great college

Admission:

I have applied mostly for the IITs but based on the rank I was alloted this college and given branch. Although I could get some circuital branches in 3rd gen IITs but I preferred college above branch.

IIT Kanpur: 8 Answered Questions

What should a non-genius student do to get a seat at IIT Kanpur CS?

Aditi Roylives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

It’s good that you have a target in your mind and aren’t leaving everything to luck. The best way for a non-genius student to get a seat at IIT Kanpur's Computer Science program is to work hard and consistently. Rather than stating the usual; solving previous year question papers, joining good coaching institutes, coordinating school with coaching classes, and self-study, I will talk about some of the most basic things that people often undermine

Whenever you feel you are falling into a slump, remind yourself that there are hundreds of students who want you to fail in order to grab your position. Remind yourself of this continuously and you will find yourself out of that bubble.
It’s important to assess your own abilities and be honest with yourself rather than being overconfident. I have seen people who are confident with their academics end up with poor grades. Don’t undermine yourself but don’t even overestimate yourself. Remember you are surrounded by geniuses.
Don’t get addicted to useless stuff and activities that waste your time. Instead, go for a walk or read for a break.
You should have prepared yourself mentally and physically for the sacrifices you have to make and the efforts you have to invest.
Study books that make you understand the concepts in a simpler manner yet give you a comprehensive understanding.
Motivate yourself with the possible outcome and the reaction of your family. Keep yourself reminded of the happiness and success will harbor.

I would like to end the answer on a final note: There are no non-geniuses, just bad students who do not pay attention in class and bad teachers who do not teach well.

What is the process for IIT Kanpur MTech admission 2024?

Sushil YadavStudies at IIT Kanpur

The admission process followed by IIT Kanpur is similar to the admission process followed by all the other IITs. The main thing that you need to keep in mind is that in India to take admission in most of the colleges, appearing for GATE Examination is mandatory. Similarly, for IIT Kanpur as well to take admission to MTech, you will have to appear for the GATE examination and secure a high rank to be eligible for counseling. You will need to qualify the GATE examination and register at COAP for admission in the course. Try to secure a high rank as the competition is very high and seats for MTech in the IITs is limited. So, only the top-ranking students get the chance to study at IIT Kanpur every year. If you want to be one of them, then study hard.
