IIT Admission: Now you can study not just one but two subjects in engineering, IITs are bringing a new style..

IIT Admission: IITs i.e. India's top engineering colleges, are now changing their way of studying. Saying goodbye to the old 5-year dual degree course, a new, smart, and interdisciplinary course is being introduced. Let us tell you how this change can be beneficial for your child's career and your worries!

IIT Courses: Big benefits for students and parents

The magic of two fields: Now your child will not be limited to just one field, like mechanical or physics. He will be able to study two different subjects together, like mechanical + robotics, physics + data science, or chemistry + quantum computing. This will give more opportunities in a career.

Saving time: Earlier, the 5-year dual degree course seemed long, and the placement became weak in the fifth year. Now, after the completion of BTech by the third year, there will be an option of MTech, which will save time and effort.

Research opportunity: If your child is interested in research, then he will be able to shift to MTech after the third year. This will give him the freedom to choose his path.

Prepare for the future: In today's jobs, just a degree is not enough. IITs want to make engineers who have an understanding of many fields, and this will help your child move forward.

What is this new change?

Earlier, students who could not get direct admission in BTech used to go for a 5-year dual degree course, in which BTech and MTech were combined. But now this method is changing. IIT Madras Director Prof. Kamakoti says that staying in one branch has become old. Today's engineer has to create a system. For this, an understanding of two fields is necessary. For example, your child can become an expert in both robotics and mechanics.

How will the new model work?

- After completing the third year of BTech, your child will be able to shift to MTech and will not be tied to the previous one.

- This change will give students the freedom to choose their path and prepare them according to the demand of the industry.

- If your child wants to work, the path will be open even after the third year.

Advice for parents
If your child is thinking of engineering, then instead of choosing just the branch, focus on interdisciplinary thinking. This is the future, where students with more than one skill will move ahead. Encourage your child to make a plan according to his interests and hard work.

Tips for students
This opportunity can take your career to new heights. IITs now want to create system thinkers, not just degrees. Choose two fields according to your interest and work hard. Start preparing now, because this change will shape your future.
