IIT Kanpur To Hold Admissions For BTech And BS Courses Via Olympiads
The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK) will hold admissions for its BTech and BS programmes from the academic year 2025-26 based on performance in international Olympiads as well. The initiative aims to recognise exceptionally talented students who have excelled in highly competitive international Olympiads in subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Informatics.
Under this program, the institute will offer reserved seats for admission in five departments: Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Chemistry, Economic Sciences, and Mathematics & Statistics.
This initiative offers a unique opportunity for those students who wish to pursue their passion in these areas at one of India's leading institutions, bypassing the traditional JEE (Advanced) route.
