IIT Jodhpur’s BTech in Smart Infrastructure, Environment Engineering
IIT Jodhpur has advanced its civil and infrastructure engineering curriculum. Now, the traditional stream will have new-age topics including infrastructure planning and designing, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, smart materials and sensors, and security of infrastructure against physical and digital threats.
IIT Kharagpur Four-Year BS Programme
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur has launched a four-year Bachelor of Science (BS) programme across seven subjects — applied geology, chemistry, economics, exploration geophysics, mathematics and computing, and physics. The programme is in addition to the existing five-year integrated master of science (MS) programme thus students will have the choice to complete the BS degree after four years, or carry on the MS degree after completing two more years. The option to select the MS degree will be given at the end of the sixth semester.
IIT Kanpur BS in Statistics & Data Science
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur has launched a four-year BS in Statistics and Data Science. It has also introduced and a five-year BS-MS integrated degree programme. Students will be taught about fundamental statistical and mathematical, computational, and data science applications including data related to health, biomedicine, bioinformatics, and digital health, retail, banking, and financial data; image processing data, etc.
COURSES AT IITS FOR WHICH JEE ADVANCED 2021 NOT REQUIRED
While the above courses require one to crack JEE Advanced to get admissions into the IITs, the institutes have launched several short-term and long-term online courses which you can join even without appearing for the IIT entrance. Some of these courses include:
IIT Roorkee Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
The six-month Advanced Machine Learning and AI course is available on Coursera for Rs 112,500. It aims to teach the advanced techniques about machine learning and skills required to build deep learning models and artificial intelligence applications.
IIT Madras Diplomas in Programming, Data Science, Virtual Reality
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has launched eight-month diploma programmes in programming and data science and in virtual reality. Interested candidates just need not have an engineering or computer science background to apply for the online course. It is open to students, working professionals, and job seekers who have completed graduation in any discipline through any mode. While the diploma in virtual reality is for anyone with an engineering background.
IIT Bombay Online Course in Digital Transformation, Electric Vehicles
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has launched two new certificate programs — Digital Transformation and Power Electronics and Motors for Electric Vehicles (EVs). The four-month online courses are available at Coursera. It will teach how to identify opportunities to transform the organisation through strategic implementation of new technologies and build analytical skills to understand how to implement and execute the right solutions.
Many IITs also offer a four-year Bachelor of Design (BDes) programme that teaches design principles, images, and photography. For this, candidates need to appear for the Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED). Students from arts and commerce can also take up this course.
