IIT-Delhi to allow cross-branch M.Tech options for 3rd year UG students
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi will introduce greater flexibility across its academic branches as part of a comprehensive curriculum revision, an official said on the new structure, undergraduate students will be allowed to apply for an MTech degree in any available programme at IIT-Delhi at the end of their third year, regardless of their BTech specialisation. 'So essentially, a BTech student from a particular branch can opt for an MTech in a completely different branch at the end of their third year. This will allow a student to graduate with both bachelor's and master's degrees in five years,' said Shouri Chatterjee, assistant dean (curriculum). The revision spans undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD programmes, and will take effect from the academic year 2025–26. 'Each course in every programme was reviewed, revamped, and approved by the Senate, which is IIT-Delhi's highest academic body. IIT-Delhi reviews its curriculum periodically, approximately every 10 years. The current process began in early 2022 and included extensive feedback from students, alumni, and industry experts,' Chatterjee said. A notable innovation in the revised curriculum is the integration of AI-based code generators into the introductory programming course. 'Students will be taught how to use AI responsibly to write better programmes for more complex problems in less time. This innovation will future-proof the graduates of the next decade across disciplines by nurturing them in the mode of programming that is taking over the world. This course will be mandatory for all UG students,' said Narayanan Kurur, dean of academics. In addition to these changes, three new academic programmes will be launched from the upcoming academic year. These include a BTech in Design, admission to which will be through JEE (Advanced) along with qualification in the Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED); a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemistry, also via JEE (Advanced; and a Master of Technology (MTech) in Photonics, which will require qualification through the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). 'The BS Chemistry is also the first BS programme at IIT-Delhi,' Kurur said. An IIT official said the revised undergraduate curriculum is built around key themes: flexibility, hands-on learning, environmental and sustainability awareness, creative expression, ethical reasoning, and alignment with emerging technological trends. IIT-Delhi will also retain its policy allowing students admitted through JEE (Advanced) to switch academic programmes at the end of their first year, based on merit. 'Some of the older IITs have done away with the system, but we will continue allowing that based on student feedback,' Chatterjee said. Additional enhancements include opportunities to pursue a minor degree or specialisation alongside the primary degree, the introduction of an honours programme as an add-on to the BTech, and greater emphasis on experiential learning. 'All programmes will see a modest reduction in total credits, with a more focused core. Many branches are now offering a flexible core curriculum. Laboratory and tutorial components in most departmental courses allow students to engage with faculty in a deep and meaningful manner,' said Chatterjee. At the postgraduate level, the MTech and MS (Research) curricula will follow an outcomes-based structure, with stronger industry integration and project-based learning. According to an official, two key components—a capstone project focused on collaborative problem-solving, and a summer internship geared toward external engagement—aim to make students more industry-ready.

IISc Bangalore revises GATE COAP schedule for MTech admissions, PSU recruitment
GATE COAP Schedule 2025: The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore has revised the schedule for the Common Offer Acceptance Portal (COAP) 2025, which facilitates MTech admissions and Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) recruitments through the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2025. The GATE COAP 2025 round 2 allotment will be available between May 23 and 25 on the official portal — While the dates for GATE COAP round 1 remain unchanged, candidates participating in the COAP second round must view offers and make their decision by May 25, a day earlier than the previously announced deadline of May 26. The Institute has also revised the counselling dates for subsequent rounds. Several premier institutes, including IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, IIT Guwahati, IIT Indore, IIT Bhilai, IIT Dharwad, IIT BHU, and IISc Bengaluru, are participating in the COAP 2025 process. The results for GATE 2025 were announced earlier on March 19, alongside the list of top rankers. The examination was conducted in multiple sessions on February 1, 2, 15, and 16, 2025, with over 10 lakh candidates appearing for the test. GATE is a crucial examination for candidates seeking postgraduate admission and recruitment in Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).

GATE 2025 COAP counselling dates revised again: Check schedule for round 2 here
The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru, the organising institute for the Common Offer Acceptance Portal (COAP) 2025, has once again revised the counselling schedule. According to the latest update, Round 2 of the COAP counselling process will now be held from May 23 (10:00 AM) to May 25 (6:00 PM). The revision comes just days after Round 1 concluded on May 20. COAP serves as a centralised platform through which candidates with valid GATE scores can access admission and job offers from participating Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), IISc, and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). Why was the COAP schedule revised again? The counselling schedule has already undergone multiple revisions. Originally, COAP 2025 was to begin on May 13, but Round 1 was pushed to May 14 and then to May 17. IISc has indicated that these changes were made to accommodate the academic calendars and offer processing timelines of participating institutes and PSUs. The updated Round 2 dates ensure that candidates have sufficient time to evaluate their options while maintaining synchronisation across institutions. This kind of centralised approach helps avoid overlapping deadlines and reduces confusion among applicants. Revised COAP 2025 Schedule Here is the detailed revised schedule for COAP 2025: Round 2: May 23 (10:00 AM) – May 25 (6:00 PM) Round 3: May 29 – June 1 Round 4: June 5 – June 7 Round 5: June 11 – June 13 Round 6: June 17 – June 19 Round 7: June 23 – June 25 Round 8: June 29 – June 30 Round 9: July 4 – July 5 Round 10: July 9 – July 10 Notably, Rounds 6 to 10 are designated as Decisive Rounds , meaning that candidates will only be allowed to either 'Accept & Freeze' an offer or 'Reject' it. The option to 'Retain & Wait,' which allows students to hold onto a current offer while waiting for a potentially better one in future rounds, will no longer be available. Admission to IITs and PSUs via COAP 2025 The COAP platform is critical for candidates seeking postgraduate engineering admissions and recruitment opportunities based on GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) scores. It allows applicants with GATE 2023, 2024, or 2025 scores to receive and respond to offers from multiple institutions through a single portal. However, it's important to note that COAP does not make offers itself—offers are made directly by participating institutes or PSUs, while COAP acts as the communication and decision-tracking platform. Candidates must register on the official COAP 2025 portal in order to access, accept, reject, or waitlist these offers. Each round allows applicants to make informed choices and track the availability of seats or positions.
