The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has released the application form for the 3rd batch of the Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electronic Systems Program. Interested candidates can apply online for IIT Madras BS in Electronic Systems Program at the official website: study.iitm.ac.in. The last date to fill up the online application form is May 26, 2024. 

Launched in March 2023, this four-year program offers students the flexibility of multiple exit points, enabling them to obtain a Foundational Level Certificate, Diploma, or a full BS degree. With a current enrollment exceeding 1,000 students, the program is designed to impart industry-ready skills in the field of Electronic Systems. It also prioritises accessibility, affordability, and inclusiveness in education.

Highlighting the unique points of this program, Prof. Boby George, Faculty Coordinator, BS in Electronic Systems program, IIT Madras, said, “This program integrates online learning of theory with hands-on laboratory experiences and in-person examinations. This innovative approach marks a significant milestone in making high-quality education accessible to anyone anywhere who is interested in studying from this program and underscores IIT Madras’ commitment to providing cutting-edge and impactful learning opportunities.”

Elaborating about the program, Prof. S. Aniruddhan, Faculty Coordinator, BS in Electronic Systems program, IIT Madras, said, “The positive experience and memories for both students and staff reaffirms the importance of incorporating in-person practical experiences into our curriculum. This initiative represents a significant step forward in redefining the possibilities of hybrid education. Several courses offered at the foundation and diploma levels are designed to prepare students to seamlessly transition into internships or employment opportunities while they pursue their program.”

An often-asked question is how students can perform experiments in various lab courses required by this course. The program design for labs has two parts where students do experiments every week and submit videos explaining their work. This culminates in an in-person visit to IIT Madras campus where the students perform the experiments again and complete the examinations. 

More than 700 students from across India participated in the first set of laboratory sessions that were conducted between November and December 2023 in four batches. These sessions provided students with the opportunity to put their theoretical knowledge into practice using a versatile electronic kit, thereby deepening their understanding of electronic systems. Moreover, this visit afforded students the chance to meet their peers in the same batch, fostering interactions and the potential to form lasting friendships.
