IIT Kanpur has established eligibility criteria for admission to all online courses, requiring that only candidates with at least 55% marks or a CPI of 5.5 be eligible. Admission is based on exam scores such as BET, JAM, SEED, CAT, GMAT, or through IIT Kanpur's online entrance exam. However, candidates with more than five years of working experience will be exempted from the exam.

Students will be able to complete their degrees and diplomas at their own pace.
