AL-KAFI #1775 : IMAM TIDAK MEMBACA DOA QUNUT DALAM SOLAT SUBUH, ADAKAH MAKMUM BOLEH MEMBACANYA?
Can a follower in congregation recite the qunut supplication in Fajr prayer when the imam does not recite it?
Short answer
A follower may recite qunut even if the imam does not, because qunut need not be performed in step with the imam.

Summary
A follower may recite qunut even if the imam does not, because qunut need not be performed in step with the imam. The condition is that the follower can rejoin the imam by the first prostration or the sitting between the two prostrations. If he can only rejoin at the second prostration, he may not recite it, as he would miss two pillars of the prayer. A follower who omits qunut to follow the imam is recommended to perform the prostration of forgetfulness after the imam's salam and before his own.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, makmum boleh membaca doa qunut walaupun imam tidak membacanya kerana doa qunut tidak disyaratkan bersamaan (muwafaqah) dengan imam
