Yes, you can but I'll suggest you to go for M.Tech instead of M.Sc physics at IIT Kanpur.

If you consider long-term career opportunities, IITs provide wonderful opportunities for PhD.Also, some research schools in Europe and certain universities abroad hire IIT M.Sc students for a Ph.D position based on interviews and GPA(sometimes, research experience plays a more important role).
