IIT Delhi starts BS Chemistry with AI-ML focus, open to JEE Advanced qualifiers
If you're aiming for IIT Delhi through JEE Advanced 2025, here's something new to consider -- India's top tech institute has announced its first-ever Bachelor of Science (BS) programme in Chemistry.
The four-year course will kick off from the 2025-26 academic year and is open to students who clear JEE Advanced 2025 and apply through the JoSAA counselling portal. NEW COURSE TO BRIDGE CRUCIAL GAP
So, what's special about this programme? It's designed to fill a gap many students don't even know exists -- between traditional chemistry degrees and the more application-driven engineering mindset.
According to IIT Delhi, many engineering graduates lack deep scientific grounding, while chemistry grads often miss out on how those principles are applied in the real world. This new BS course aims to fix that.
Students will get a blend of core science, engineering basics, and modern tech skills. The first year focuses on foundational science and engineering courses.
From the second year, students dive into core chemistry topics, followed by interdisciplinary electives and research projects in the third and fourth years. There's even an option to take a Minor in another subject. MAIN FEATURES OF BS CHEMISTRY AT IIT DELHI
Key features of the programme include: Around 30% hands-on lab work
Exposure to AI-ML applications in chemistry
Training in experimental and computational chemistry
Cross-department electives to broaden learning
Graduates can expect to be ready for a range of careers -- in pharma, semiconductors, oil and gas, defence, automotive, research, and chemical consulting.
This BS Chemistry programme is part of IIT Delhi's larger academic revamp to make degrees more flexible and aligned with today's job market.
It follows a broader curriculum update for UG, PG, and PhD programmes, all set to roll out in 2025-26.

Will Donald Trump ban X if his nasty feud with Elon Musk escalates? AI Guru's big prediction
The pairing of US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk , the leader of the richest country in the world with the richest person in the world, seemed a perfect match. But Musk's vociferous opposition to the president's bill, expressed on social media, touched off the two men's dispute last week and it got only worse. Amid the growing feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, an influential techie has predicted that the President will ban tech mogul's X if the tensions between the two escalates. The bromance came to an abrupt end this week in a very public and ugly way, as both men traded insults on their respective platforms.

A former Disney child star turned AI guru says the hostility could lead to a government ban of the social-media platform under national-security pretexts, reports New York Post. 'Elon's a very smart person – yet he's prone to kind of having these mood swings and going on these campaigns and tirades. I think there's only so much Elon can do before Trump is ultimately going to invoke a show of force,' Leos told The Post.

Live Events 'Musk now faces a difficult choice. He can ban Trump from X in retaliation, but that would almost certainly trigger an executive response from the White House,' Leos predicted. Leos further suggested that Trump might leverage Musk's access to classified information—or even his recent accusation linking Trump to the Epstein files—as grounds to argue that the Tesla CEO's behavior on X poses a potential national security risk. 'If there's anything related to that that could be the true, or if he is referencing something that is classified or privileged information, that could be considered a national security threat,' he said. Leos believes the legal framework for a ban already exists, and that Trump would likely invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. He also thinks the spat will lead to discussions about regulating social media platforms and their influence on politics. Things spiraled quickly this week, after Musk called Trump's big, beautiful bill a 'pork-filled…abomination,' which led the president to accuse the tech billionaire of having 'lost his mind' and falling victim to 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.' Trump said Friday he has zero interest in speaking to Elon Musk amid their escalating feud. ALSO READ: Did Barron Trump predict Elon-Trump breakup? This hilarious video from inauguration sparks buzz Trump says Elon has 'lost his mind' Trump said Saturday that his relationship with Elon Musk was likely beyond repair after the two sparred publicly on social media this past week, and he warned there would be "serious consequences" if Musk financed candidates to run against Republicans who voted in favor of the president's domestic policy bill. In a phone interview with NBC journalist Kristen Welker, Trump said he had no plans to speak with Musk, calling the tech billionaire "disrespectful" to the office of the president. When asked whether he had any desire to repair his relationship with Musk, Trump said, "No." Trump has offered a range of views in his conversations over the past few days. In some, Trump has described Musk as somebody who has gone "crazy." In others, he has expressed sympathy, as if Musk were a wayward son.
