IIT Delhi Introduces First Bachelor Of Science In Chemistry Programme For JEE Advanced Qualified Students
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has announced the launch of its first Bachelor of Science (BS) programme in Chemistry, set to commence from July 2025. The programme will be open to JEE Advanced qualified students, who can opt for it via the JoSAA 2025 portal. The curriculum aims to bridge the gap between core scientific principles and modern technological applications, offering students a unique chance to develop as next-generation chemical scientists and tech leaders. It draws on the IIT Delhi ecosystem of research and entrepreneurship, with a structure that combines fundamental chemistry training with multi-disciplinary exposure and elective flexibility. Highlighting the program's objective, S. Nagendran, Head of the Chemistry Department, said: "addressing the need to introduce multi-disciplinarity at an early level in chemical science education while simultaneously preserving the comprehensive and in-depth chemistry training expected from a pure sciences graduate. It has been seen over time that, on one hand, engineering graduates frequently lack the depth of fundamental scientific knowledge necessary to conduct research in the pure sciences, while, on the other hand, pure chemistry graduates sometimes overlook engineering fundamentals." The course promises a foundation in Chemical Sciences, while equipping students with skills relevant across basic sciences, engineering domains, and entrepreneurial ventures. Among its standout features is a strong emphasis on practical-based learning and future-facing modules, including courses like Artificial Intelligence in Chemistry. The programme has been designed in collaboration with diverse stakeholders, including students from other premier institutions, industry experts, academic scholars, and government officials. This ensures alignment with both academic excellence and evolving industrial demands. Graduates of the programme will be positioned for careers in sectors such as Pharmaceuticals, Semiconductors, Materials, Manufacturing, Defence, Oil & Gas, Chemical Consulting, Automotive, and Petrochemicals.

IIT Delhi launches first BS programme in Chemistry for JEE Advanced 2025 qualifiers
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has introduced its first-ever Bachelor of Science (BS) programme in Chemistry, starting from the academic year 2025-26. The new four-year undergraduate programme will admit students through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2025 via the JoSAA counselling portal. The programme aims to encourage early multi-disciplinarity in chemical science education without compromising the depth expected from a pure science degree. 'While engineering graduates often lack deep scientific foundations, chemistry graduates may miss out on engineering principles. This programme bridges that gap,' Prof S Nagendran, Head of the Department of Chemistry at IIT Delhi said. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for diverse roles in core chemistry-based industries, research, academia, and entrepreneurship. With a strong focus on both theoretical and practical aspects, the programme aims to develop technology leaders and researchers capable of addressing real-world challenges. Prof Ravi P Singh, programme coordinator, said students will take foundational science and engineering courses in their first year, followed by core chemistry subjects in the second year. The third and fourth years will introduce interdisciplinary electives, research opportunities, and the option to pursue a Minor in another discipline. Some of the key features include: –30% hands-on learning with advanced laboratory training –Courses in cutting-edge areas such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI-ML) in Chemistry –Cross-departmental electives and minor degree options –Practical learning focused on experimental and computational chemistry Graduates will be well-positioned for careers in sectors like pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, oil & gas, defence, automotive, and chemical consulting. This launch comes as part of IIT Delhi's larger initiative to modernise its academic offerings. Earlier, the institute revised its curriculum across undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD programmes for the 2025-26 academic session to introduce greater academic flexibility and industry alignment. These changes are aimed at enhancing student preparedness for the future workforce while encouraging interdisciplinary learning.

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.
