Candidates who have secured a minimum CPI of 5.5 or 55 per cent marks in their qualifying degree can apply for the courses. The admission process consists of a two-stage evaluation: an online entrance test conducted by IIT Kanpur, followed by a department-level assessment via an online examination or an interview.
However, candidates having valid GATE scores that meet department-specific cut-offs may be exempted from the entrance test. In addition, applicants with five or more years of relevant professional experience may also be considered for exemption, subject to departmental guidelines.
Candidates nominated or sponsored by government departments, defence organisations, or recognised institutions may also be eligible for such exemptions, as read in the press statement.
