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.'

From AI to Health Tech: IIT Madras introduces two new B.Tech Programs for 2025 admissions, check details, career options
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) has announced the launch of two new undergraduate engineering programs starting from the academic year 2025-26. The two B. Tech courses will be offered by the Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering. These programs aim to prepare students for the evolving demands of modern industry and healthcare through an interdisciplinary, systems-based approach. These courses are: 1) in Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM) — Course Code: 412U, and 2) in Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME) — Course Code: 412V Students who have cleared the JEE Advanced can apply for these programs. Each program will admit 40 students through the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counselling process. As per a press statement issued by IIT Madras, students enrolled in these programs will have the opportunity to upgrade to a five-year Dual Degree ( + through the Interdisciplinary Dual Degree (IDDD) option. Speaking about these programs, Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, 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.' This program focuses on the convergence of physical systems with computational intelligence, offering a blend of classical mechanics and modern computational tools. Training in solid and fluid mechanics, material science, dynamics, and core electrical engineering Integration of AI, machine learning, data science, and high-performance computing Career pathways in aerospace, robotics, automotive, digital twin design, smart infrastructure, and sustainable energy systems Designed to meet the growing demand in the medical device sector, this program combines biomedical engineering with instrumentation and electrical engineering. Its unique curriculum includes: Emphasis on IoT, AI, and web-enabled medical technologies Training for designing ethically sound, clinically compliant devices Career prospects in medical device development, rehabilitation technologies, AI-powered healthcare systems, diagnostics, and therapeutics 'These programs will prepare graduates for leadership roles in solving complex real-world challenges, both in academia and industry,' said Prof. Sayan Gupta, Head of the Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering. 'With a future-focused curriculum, these programs will empower the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers,' Gupta added.
