The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) has announced the launch of four new online Master of Technology (MTech) programs for the 2026 academic session. These programs—MTech in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Construction Engineering and Project Management, Smart Grid, and Sustainable Energy Technologies—are designed to meet the evolving skill requirements in sectors such as infrastructure, intelligent systems, and renewable energy. All courses will be conducted online, making them accessible to both working professionals and recent graduates, with completion timelines ranging from two to four years.

The eligibility criteria require applicants to have a minimum Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) of 5.5 or 55% marks in their qualifying degree. The admission process includes an online entrance examination followed by a departmental assessment, although candidates with valid GATE scores or substantial professional experience may qualify for exemptions. Classes are set to begin in September 2026, and interested candidates are encouraged to visit IIT Kanpur's official online programs portal for more details on the program structure and admission timelines.
