IIT Kanpur cutoff 2026 ranged from 155 in the first round to 173 in the last round for the OBC category candidates under the All India quota. Hence, General AI category candidates need to attain a rank of at least 173 or lower to get a chance at admission.
Students should know that just attaining the required rank does not guarantee admission. You would have to complete the entire admission process to be eligible for a final seat offer.

Yes, there is a probability of getting admission in IIT Kanpur for BTech if your rank is around 5000. However, it will depend on the branch of engineering you are applying for B.Tech on which department your interested. Since, the cut offs keep changing for different departments from round to round, therefore better ranks definitely increases your chances of getting admission in IIT Kanpur.
