IIT Jodhpur launches two new 4-year BS programs

The newly introduced BS programs in chemistry and physics are technology focused with a uniquely tailored curriculum. Students will have opportunities for multiple interdisciplinary areas, including entrepreneurship. 

To cater for the growing need and demand for modern technologies, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur will launch a new engineering-linked four-year BS programs in chemistry and physics with specialisation. 

The institute has designed the new programs aligned with global needs. The programs will impart fundamental knowledge in basic science and engineering in the first year.

In the second and third years, the students will undergo comprehensive theoretical and experimental courses in advanced concepts of chemistry and physics in the respective programs, and in the final year, these programs will enable the students to specialise in a focused area in the forefront of science. Prof Santanu Chaudhury, Director, IIT Jodhpur, said, "We expect our BS graduates to get involved in application-directed basic research, creating breakthrough technologies for new age industries."
