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) 2024.
• 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.)
• B.S. (Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics)
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. A B.Tech. degree of the parent academic unit and an M.Tech. degree of a specialization within the parent (Dual Degree) and other academic units (Interdisciplinary Dual Degree) is given at the end of the fifth year.
A “Minor” is an additional credential a student may earn for doing prescribed additional courses in a discipline other than his/her major discipline of B.Tech./ B.S./ Dual Degree.
Similarly, “Honours” is awarded to students completing a prescribed set of courses and project (if applicable) in their own academic units. This structure of academic programmes provides flexibility to suit the varied interests of students and helps build multifarious competencies that employers demand besides satisfying the widely varying temperaments, abilities and aspirations of students.
