KIT Kanpur offers 13 programmes with 35 specialisations between them, across UG and Diploma level. This page lists what is on offer, what each one costs and how long it runs, so you can see the whole picture before you shortlist a course.
The programmes sit in 8 streams — Engineering, Management, Computer Applications, Science, Arts and Pharmacy and others. If your subject is not on that list, this college is probably not the right fit, however good its overall reputation.
What KIT Kanpur offers, level by level
"Level" simply means the stage of study. Here is what KIT Kanpur runs at each one.
| Level | Programmes | Typical duration | Fees | What it means |

| UG | 10 | 2–4 years | ₹1.6 lakh–₹2.2 lakh | Undergraduate — the degree you take straight after class 12. Usually three or four years. |
| Diploma | 3 | 3 years | — | Diploma — a shorter, more practical course. Good if you want to start working sooner. |

One thing worth checking before you compare these against another college: fees here cover tuition. Hostel, mess and one-time charges are usually separate, and they can add a lot over four years. Ask for the all-in figure.
Specialisations you can choose
Most programmes here run several specialisations — the branch you actually study. Bachelor of Technology has the widest choice with 15, including Biotechnology, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science and Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) and Electronics and Communication Engineering.
This matters more than the college's overall rank. Teaching quality, lab facilities and which companies recruit all vary between branches at the same college. Pick the branch first, then check whether this college is strong in it.
How to choose between these courses
- Start with the subject, not the college. A course you do not enjoy will be a long few years, whatever the campus is like.
- Check the entrance exam. Each programme has its own route in, and the exam decides your timeline for the whole year.
- Add up the real cost. Total fees plus hostel, mess and living expenses — then look at scholarships and education loans.
- Ask about branch-wise placements. College-wide figures hide big differences between branches.
About this list
These 13 programmes come from KIT Kanpur's own course record and are updated as it changes. A dash in the fee column means the college has not published that figure yet, not that the course is free. For anything that will decide your admission — eligibility, exact fees, seat numbers — confirm with the college before you apply.
