Guideline for reaching IIT Kanpur.
From Delhi: Lot of trains are available from NDLS(Newdelhi) to CNBC(Kanpur)
Train took 6-7 hour and one can pick train around 10-11 pm from new delhi railway station and book his/her ticket advanced. Otherwise select the train which reaches at 6-7 am in morning.

My take is ShramShakti Express (11:50 PM to 6:05 AM), good non stop train from delhi to kanpur. Easily get the ticket if book in advanced.

From Cawnpur(Old name) railway station taxi/auto rickshaw/shared auto easily available. IIT Kanpur is situated @Kalyanpur outer skirts. So asked anyone once you get at Kanpur for Kalyanpur IIT Gate. Journey takes hardly 30 minutes.

Please come at Ghanta Ghar side at Kanpur railway station mean platform number 16. Do not get outside from platform number 1 as ShramShakti usually come at Platform number 1.

Do not try to come from bus from delhi to kanpur.
Accommodation: Lots of lodges/hotel are available at cheap rates(including hourly basis(do not get dirty)) on Ghanta Ghar side very near to Railway Station.

From Lucknow:
Via Lucknow Airport: Shared/Individual taxi are easily available from Amausi Airport(Lucknow Airport name). Taxi took hardly two hour to reach kanpur. One have to keep two hour extra in buffer for unavoidable circumstances.

Via Lucknow Bus Stand: Bus will take around two hour and drop you at Jhakarkati Bus Depot hire a taxi from here to directly IIT Kanpur.

For Air Ticket: Please book it in advance for Delhi/Lucknow. My take delhi fare will be less in comparison to lucknow.

Try to come to delhi in evening around 7-8 PM and take Airport Metro which directly comes at New Delhi Railway Station(take only 18 minutes from IGI) and pick any train around 10-12 PM.

Hope it will clarify lots of people traveling doubts. If else have then it welcome.

CatEngg Says
Yes Seniors.. It would be great if you could throw some light on the arrangements that would be available.. As I have read in previous year threads accommodation and airport pick has been provided to call getters. Will it be the same this year?

Accommodations are and pick at Kanpur Central railway station is provided at mentioned time but no airport pickup is provided to candidates.

To arjun24 (PR and Media Cell)

I was going through the various specialization subjects offered by IITK. How is it decided which subjects will be offered each sem? As in, is there a prerequisite of minimum number of students?

There are a total of 24 courses. 12 compulsory courses which you have to study. You have to take at least 6 specialization courses of you choice and remaining 6 is your choice what you want to do, you can opt for various electives offered or more specialization courses and 2 special studies. I think that will be enough for now. You can know about in detail as when you come here.

Got Call..:cheers:

What is the fees at IITK for this program..Some senior throw light on this..

This year fees for one semester was nearly 34000, hostels and other expenses included. Only mess fee was not included in this amount.

Even I have got a call for April 1, 9 am. Can someone tell me which will be the nearest railway station for IIT Kanpur?
And anyone who is travelling from Delhi on 31st,pm me.

Nearest railway station is Kanpur Central (Code CNB on irctc website). It is well connected to all major cities and their are many good train specially for Delhi.
