The course will most likely commence from July 2022. IIT - Kanpur Excellence Programme will be audited by a Board comprising eminent faculties from IIT Madras, Indore, Kharagpur and Delhi and IIM Lucknow besides industry experts.
The new course has been introduced so that the engineers and architects can learn and relate with different aspects of infrastructural technological advancements and management, like sustainable infrastructure and infrastructure financing, quality and safety issues in the construction industry, contract management .

Although the classes will be conducted in offline mode, in some situations the sessions might be conducted via video-conferencing so that the candidates can get all the important learnings without any compromisation. In the initial stage, the courses will be more inclined towards the industries or the company and may be open to participants from other industries too.
At first the content taught will be determined by the EEp but later it will be altered or modified according to the suggestions from the participants, professionals and consultation of experts in the industry. Special lectures will be delivered by the leaders of the industry.
