Each program under the eMasters portfolio offers modules

designed to be intellectually challenging and to cover state-of-

the-art topics, a hallmark of IIT Kanpur. The programs

consist of weekend-only live interactive sessions, coupled

with self-paced learning components.

Re-skilling and up-skilling are the need in today’s rapidly

changing world. Working professionals must continually

revise and upgrade their knowledge to keep up with the

intense competition and the latest developments to remain

industry-relevant.

With this target, IIT Kanpur launched the Masters Degree

programmes in 2022. It is a unique set of independent,

postgraduate-level flexible programmes exclusively designed

for working professionals to enable them with the relevant

expertise to stay agile, effective, and relevant in a fast-

changing technology-dominated world.
