Mgmt., EMBA, MUDE, MPP, M.S. by Research, MA by Research, MDP, Ph.D. and dual degree programmes like B.Tech.+M.Tech., M.Sc.+Ph.D., M.Tech.+Ph.D. 

Currently, the Institute has various Academic Units which includes departments, schools, centres and interdisciplinary programmes, Centres of Academic Outreach (education and research) etc. More details can be viewed at: https://www.iitb.ac.in/divisions. These units constitute the academic fabric of the Institute. The teaching programmes are characterized by their rigor and depth. The strong faculty-student interaction on the residential campus provides an opportunity to students to work on seminars, publications and projects sponsored by the industry and national agencies.

IIT Bombay follows a semester system. An academic year (July-May) consists of two semesters, each of approximately 15 weeks duration. The first semester begins in the last week of July and ends by November. The second semester starts in the first week of January and ends by April/ May. In each of the two semesters of the first year, a student is required to register for the relevant courses listed in the curriculum for that semester.

The Institute follows a credit system. Credits are allotted to various courses depending upon the number of lectures, tutorials and laboratory hours per week. The student’s performance in a course is continuously evaluated throughout the semester and culminates in the award of a Grade on a 10 point scale. Performance in a semester is evaluated in terms of the weighted average of grade points secured in all the courses registered in that semester, which is known as Semester Performance Index (SPI). A Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses registered by the student since the time of joining the Institute.

IIT Bombay offers the following undergraduate programmes through JEE (Advanced) 2026.

    • B.Tech.-(Aerospace Engg., Chemical Engg., Civil Engg., Computer Sci. & Engg., Electrical Engg., Energy Sci. & Engg.,   Environmental Sci. & Engg., Engineering Physics, Industrial Engg. & Operations Research, Mechanical Engg., Metallurgical Engg. & Materials Science)
    • Dual Degree (B.Tech. + M.Tech.)- (Electrical Engg.)

NEW: The B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay has been updated to include a focus area for students graduating from 2028 onwards. Four focus areas are as follows: (i) Artificial Intelligence, (ii) Computing Systems, (iii) Computer Security, and (iv) Theoretical Computer Science. These are chosen by the students based on the courses undertaken during B.Tech that aligns with a specific focus. Further details are available at https://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/academics/programme/btech/focus

The B.Tech. and B.S. programmes consist of eight semesters spread over four years. The Dual Degree B.Tech.-M.Tech. programme consists of 10 semesters spread over five years.
