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 launches 4-year BS in Chemistry programme
New Delhi, The Indian Institute of Technology , Delhi, will offer a new four-year undergraduate programme BS in Chemistry from the 2025 academic session, officials said on Sunday. It is the first Bachelors in Science programme which will be offered at the premier institute in the national capital. S Nagendran, Head of Chemistry at IIT-Delhi, described the new programme as "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 pure sciences, while on the other hand, pure chemistry graduates sometimes overlook engineering fundamentals," he said. Entry to this programme will be through JEE . Candidates qualifying the JEE will be able to opt for it through the JoSAA 2025 portal. Ravi P Singh, BS Chemistry programme coordinator, informed that during the initial two semesters of the first year, students will engage in common courses, akin to the first year of any BTech programme, establishing a solid foundation in sciences and basic engineering principles. "The second year will focus on core courses in chemistry. From the third year onwards, the curriculum introduces multidisciplinary courses with well-designed research components that will further extend into the fourth year. One unique feature is the opportunity for students to pursue a Minor in another department alongside their BS in Chemistry," Singh said. "The overall goal will be to train students in core chemistry topics, who will be able to relate the molecular fundamentals with the solution-driven approach of an engineer, thereby allowing them to impact global challenges with chemistry-based real-world solutions," he added. According to Singh, graduates of this programme will be poised to enter the pharmaceuticals, semiconductor, materials, manufacturing, defence, oil and gas, chemical consulting, automotive and petrochemical industries.
