About

Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, established in 1959, is a premier institution established by the Government of India. As one of the first generation IITs, IIT Kanpur continues to make unparalleled academic contributions to teaching, research, and innovation, maintaining a synergy between fundamental and applied research. The Kanpur Indo-American Programme (KIAP) at IIT Kanpur was established in 1962 with the objective of fostering close collaboration with the global community and staying abreast of the dynamic realm of science and technology. Under this programme, the Institute received technical assistance through KIAP from a consortium of nine leading institutions of U.S.A during 1962-1972.

Admissions planning estimate

2% baseline · Low data confidence

Sensitivity range: 0.5%–7%. This is a modelling range, not a statistical confidence interval or a personal admission probability.

Uncalibrated Indian admissions prior, not a measured college acceptance rate. Programme, exam rank/score, category, quota and round decide admission. Available JoSAA/DU cutoffs override this baseline for the individual student.

Reviewed 2026-10-01. Recommendations also use your grades, intended course, eligibility and available entrance cutoffs.
