IIT Madras invites JEE aspirants to ‘walk the halls of the campus' before Advanced results
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) is inviting JEE aspirants and their parents to attend a demo day events that will be held in both physical mode in several cities across India as well in online mode. It is an opportunity for them to interact with current students, faculty, and alumni. Physical events will be held at Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Vijayawada and Hyderabad, as mentioned in the press release. Interested JEE candidates have to register at since there are limited seats, said IIT-Madras in a statement. Through the demo day events, students can also seek clarification about recent changes, like the introduction of new courses. IIT Madras has introduced two new BTech Programmes – Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM) and Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME) — besides a BTech in AI and Data Analytics (AIDA) that was introduced last year. Students unable to travel to IIT Madras or any of the six other venues can also participate in an online session scheduled for June 3, during which Prof V Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, other faculty, and alumni will respond to various queries related to academic and non-academic aspects of life on campus. The current IIT Madras academic system aims to offer students flexibility in their choice of courses via the elective system. Students can choose between their courses as electives, including courses from any other department. Students can also opt for a 'minor' or switch to an 'IDDD' (Inter-Disciplinary Dual Degree). Workshops for first-year students have been reintegrated into the semester, adding two more weeks of vacation time. Furthermore, a compulsory recreation course (Pass/Fail, 2 credits) has been introduced for students in the first two semesters, promoting a healthy work-life balance. The institute has decided to offer an entrepreneurship elective course in the third/fourth semester for interested students. IIT Madras had announced separate admission categories for those excelling in Sports and Fine Arts. The Institute has introduced Fine Arts and Culture Excellence (FACE) Admission to undergraduate programmes from the Academic year 2025 – 26. The 'Sports Excellence Admission' (SEA) was introduced from the last academic year of 2024-2025. This initiative is to recognise and reward talented students who have excelled in sports. This programme encourages deserving students to pursue higher education while continuing to excel in their sports. Under both these initiatives, two seats per programme will be allotted in all BTech and BS programmes of IIT Madras. Of the two seats in each programme, one seat will be female-only, and the other will be gender-neutral. IIT Madras Alumni and CSR partners have rallied together to provide financial support to 100 per cent of BTech students whose annual parental income is in the 'Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh' category for two consecutive years (2022-23 & 2023-24). The 'Merit-cum-Means' (MCM) Scholarship is one among the numerous financial assistance and scholarship support provided to students by IIT Madras, the Central and State Governments. SC/ST students admitted to the BTech program are exempted from paying tuition fees, irrespective of their parental income. Further, IIT Madras is also introducing the 'First Principles Teachers Award' this year to recognize exceptional educators who have made an impact on their students' educational journeys through teaching from first principles at a pre-UG level.

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 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.
