About the B. Tech/BS at IIT Mandi

The IIT Mandi B. Tech programme has been designed taking into consideration current and future changes in society and the nature of technology, and the Vision of IIT Mandi to have a direct impact on Indian society through academic endeavors. The context includes:

The Students: The scheme of admission based on JEE ensures that students who join IIT for UG programs are highly intelligent and are capable of hard work if sufficiently motivated. Students often do not have particular interest or aptitude for the branch to which they have been admitted. After graduation, our students go on to make their mark in a variety of ways: as researchers, design engineers and professors; as technical managers, public administrators, in NGOs and policy think tanks, venture capital funds, entrepreneurs, etc.

The Technology Milieu: Globalization and rapid march of science and technology have brought dramatic changes in the nature of the engineering profession. Increasingly, engineers are called upon to deliver technology to a wide variety of people in diverse socio-economic strata, cultures, geographies and political systems. The rapid advance of science and technology implies that much of the knowledge that a student learns during B.Tech. has a useful life time of only a few years. Conversely, much of the knowledge that an engineer will use during his/her career of 40-50 years will be learnt only after graduation. Only some very basic principles can be expected to remain current over the next half a century.

Expectations from IIT Mandi: As an Indian Institute of Technology, it is our duty to train leaders for the growth of India with a strong technology focus. This is reflected in our Vision and Mission that have been guiding IIT’s strategy since inception. Of specific relevance to the B. Tech programme are the Mission statements:

·  Impart education to produce professionals capable of leading efforts towards innovative products and processes for the development of the Himalayan region in particular and our country and humanity in general.

· Inculcate a spirit of entrepreneurship and to impart the ability to devise globally recognized solutions for the problems of society and industry, particularly in the fragile eco-system of the Himalayas.
