Students should learn about the new B.Tech courses at IITs before the JoSAA choice-filling process..
For years, the dream of securing admission to an IIT has largely centered on a select few engineering disciplines—specifically Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil Engineering. Every year, there is intense competition among students on the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) portal for seats in these branches. However, given the global rise in the popularity of semiconductor and quantum computing technologies, several IITs have introduced new courses in these fields that students should be aware of.
If you have cleared the JEE Advanced exam and are participating in JoSAA counseling for IIT admission, it is worth exploring the new B.Tech courses that are currently trending and have the potential to elevate your career. Let’s take a look at these new B.Tech courses and the IITs where they are being offered.
**New Courses at IIT Madras**
IIT Madras has launched several new B.Tech programs, including B.Tech in Computational Engineering and Mechanics, B.Tech in Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering, and a 4-year Bachelor’s course in Data Science and Applications. Students aspiring to join IIT Madras might want to consider these new B.Tech courses as well.
**New B.Tech Courses at IIT Delhi**
IIT Delhi has also introduced several new programs, such as a 4-year Bachelor’s course in Chemistry (with a focus on AI-ML applications), B.Tech in Energy Engineering (at the Abu Dhabi campus), and B.Tech in Design. Notably, the Chemistry Bachelor’s course dedicates 30% of its curriculum to computational data tools—a skill set that is increasingly vital for engineering students. Students may also consider enrolling in these courses.
New Courses Launched at IIT Hyderabad
The new courses introduced at IIT Hyderabad include B.Tech in IC Design and Technology, B.Tech in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, B.Tech in Biomedical Engineering, and B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Specifically regarding the B.Tech in AI program, the curriculum covers subjects ranging from machine learning to deep learning, computer vision, NLP, and AI ethics. Students enrolled in this course also have the opportunity to undertake a six-month internship during their seventh semester.
