IIT-Kanpur admits 5 students without JEE Advanced; cites Olympiad excellence
LUCKNOW: Bypassing the traditional JEE Advanced route, IIT-Kanpur has admitted five students to its Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Technology (BTech) programmes based solely on their performance in international science Olympiads and training camps. IIT-Madras has also launched distinct admission pathways, including Sports Excellence Admission (SEA) and Science Olympiad Excellence Admissions (SCOPE). Recently, IIT-Gandhinagar also announced admissions through the Olympiad route, with specific criteria and guidelines published on its site. IIT-Bombay has also announced to admit students into its BS Mathematics programme through the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) pathway. Talking to TOI, IIT-K director Prof Manindra Agrawal said: "We are happy to note that five students have been admitted through the Olympiad programme at IIT-Kanpur. We initiated this channel to admit bright students who may not be able to do well in JEE Advanced due to their preoccupation with Olympiad training." "We hope that this will motivate our bright students to train seriously for the Olympiad and bring laurels to the country," Prof Agrawal said.
