IIT Madras launches new UG and PG programmes for current academic year
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras has launched several new programmes for the current academic year. They include a BS in chemistry and M. Tech in Electric Vehicles. The courses are aimed at preparing graduates for leadership roles in solving complex, real-world challenges in academia and automotive industry. The programmes include BS (Chemistry), B. Tech in Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM), B. Tech in instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME) and in Electric Vehicles. The admission for BS Chemistry will be through IISER aptitude test; admission to in Electric Vehicles will be through GATE. For the two new programmes from the Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering admission will be through JEE. BS Chemistry is a 4-year undergraduate programme with an upgrade to MS in chemistry. The curriculum offers a large number of choice-based learning opportunities. Candidates may opt for a minor degree along with BS (ex. BS Chemistry with Data Science). The institute offers project work in allied science and engineering departments, as well as opportunities to collaborate with other universities and institutes during the MS project. in Electric Vehicles is multidisciplinary and offers opportunities for internships with industry interaction and research. CEM blends the learning of engineering with modern computational tools. iBME graduates will be able to design clinically regulated, ethically sensitive solutions that address global healthcare challenges. Candidates can upgrade to five-year dual degree and through interdisciplinary dual degree programmes. The faculty of the Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering coordinate three of the IDDD programmes, including computational engineering, biomedical engineering, complex systems and dynamics.

IIT-M launches two new courses
CHENNAI: IIT Madras has launched two new BTech courses in computational engineering and biomedical engineering starting this academic session, according to an official release. The courses, with a student strength of 40 each, will be offered by the Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering. Students who clear JEE (Advanced) can choose these two new programmes in the upcoming Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JOSAA) counselling. Both programmes offer students the opportunity to upgrade to the five-year dual degree (BTech + MTech) through Interdisciplinary Dual Degree (IDDD) programmes, three of which — Computational Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Complex System Dynamics — are coordinated by the faculty of Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering. Sayan Gupta, head, Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering, IIT-M, said, 'These cutting-edge programmes will equip students with a strong systems approach to problem solving, blending core engineering principles with the latest technological advancements.'

IIT-M to launch two UG courses
Chennai, May 19 (UNI) IIT Madras, the Nation's No: 1 Ranked Engineering Institute, is launching two new undergraduate engineering courses from the coming academic year 2025-26. The courses are being offered through the Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering, which has been at the forefront of interdisciplinary research since the inception of IIT-Madras in 1959. Students who have cleared the JEE (Advanced) can choose these two new programs in the upcoming Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JOSAA) Counselling. They will have a total student strength of 40 each, a release from IIT-M said on Monday. The course code for in Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM) is 412U and in Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME) is 412V. IIT-M Director Prof. V. Kamakoti said as technology witnesses rapid changes, it is extremely important for Higher Educational Institutions to introduce new programs to bridge the academia-industry gap. These two new state-of-the-art programs shall address all novel concepts relevant to industry 5.0, Health Technology and Advanced Manufacturing areas, he said. Both programs offer students the opportunity to upgrade to the five-year Dual Degree ( + through Interdisciplinary Dual Degree (IDDD) programs, three of which - Computational Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Complex Systems and Dynamics - are coordinated by the faculty of Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering.
