IIT Jodhpur offers BTech courses in flexible academic structure

The flexible academic structure allows students to opt for a BTech in Engineering Science as an informed choice after completing the first year studies. The option of double Btech with a second degree in Engineering Science is also available.  

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur is offering eight new BTech programmes with a “flexible structure”that allows students to design a programme based on their choice. These courses aim at developing interdisciplinary skills in “future technocrats”, said IIT Jodhpur in a statement. 

The eight BTech programmes offered by IIT Jodhpur are Bioengineering, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Civil and Infrastructure Engineering. These programmes are designed to provide students a broader approach while studying engineering. 

These BTech programmes are more discipline-specific and focus on enabling students to think and act like technocrats, said IIT Jodhpur. The courses will also provide opportunity to students to explore entrepreneurship and engineering innovation through industry collaboration as part of the regular programme, the institution further said.  

IIT Jodhpur stated, “The flexible academic structure allows students to opt for a BTech in Engineering Science as an informed choice after after completing the primary 12 months [of] research. Each student can design a program of his own in consultation with a faculty mentor to meet personal preferences and get trained for unique graduate outcomes in alignment with emerging industrial or research trends.” 

“Such flexibility of the academic curriculum enables a student to build up a broader foundation in emerging technologies. The option of double Btech with a second degree in Engineering Science programme is also available," the statement added. 

Professor Santanu Chaudhury Director, IIT Jodhpur, said, “IIT Jodhpur is committed to deliver a future focused educational experience to our undergraduate students who are expected to be critical thinkers, innovators, and future leaders of technology. A contemporary and highly professional curriculum, opportunities for a multidisciplinary exploration of engineering problems in teams, with sustainability in focus, makes IITJ’s education unique and valuable.”
