An Introduction to IIT Kanpur Seat Matrix

The term ‘seat matrix’ refers to the number of available seats in a said institution during the round of counselling and allotment. The seat matrix for admission to IIT Kanpur will be released for admission to undergraduate programs by JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology. IIT Kanpur seat matrix for  2025 admission can be availed by the students once it is available online.. Students willing to take admission to the B.Tech courses under IIT Kanpur must refer to the seat matrix to avail the latest information on the vacancy for said seats. Students need to keep in mind that the matrix will be released both course-wise and category-wise.


Many students aim to study in top engineering colleges that include all the IITs with an ambition to have a successful career in the field of technology. There are lakhs of aspirants for JEE Main and Advanced. However, only a handful of candidates clear through both the examinations to be a part of the IITs. Due to tough competition and very less number of seat availability, candidates need to be prompt towards the admission.


Some courses offered by IIT Kanpur include:


  • Chemical Engineering,

  • Aerospace Engineering,

  • Computer Science and Engineering,

  • Civil Engineering,

  • Mechanical Engineering 


Candidates need to note that the seat matrix will be released by JoSAA in association with the IITs after JEE Advanced Examination. You can check the IIT Kanpur Seat Matrix  2025 here on Vedantu as given below or on the official website of JoSAA.
