The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur), founded in 1959 and located in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, is one of India's premier engineering and research institutions, ranked #263 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It does not operate a unified central developer portal; its verifiable public programmatic footprint centers on the P.K. Kelkar (PKK) Library, whose Koha integrated library system exposes a live OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata-harvesting endpoint and a Koha ILS-DI service. Administrative and academic systems such as the Pingala ERP/SIS are login-gated with no documented public API, and there is no single official institutional GitHub organization, though numerous student clubs and academic departments maintain their own GitHub orgs.
