IIT Indore started BTech program from the year 2009 in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering with an intake of 40 in each discipline. From AY 2016-17, total number of seats in each of these three disciplines has been increased to 60. Additionally, two more BTech programs in the Department of Civil Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering and Material Science are also started with 40 seats in each Department w.e.f. AY 2016-17 onward. BTech programs in Chemical Engineering (intake 40), Engineering Physics (intake 20), Mathematics and Computing (intake 40), Space Science and Engineering (intake 20) have been started from AY 2023-2024. The total intake for the BTech programs at IIT Indore for AY 2024-25 is 480.
The UG and PG curriculum of IIT Indore emphasizes on imparting strong theoretical fundamentals, giving equal importance to practical knowledge and hands-on experience to its budding engineers using interdisciplinary, humanistic, and holistic approach. From AY 2023-24, UG course curriculum has been revised based on the mandate of NEP-2020, which emphasizes learner-centric approach enabling the students to curve out their own path as they progress to the academic curriculum. All the students in their first year of BTech program do practical courses on Chemistry, Physics, Computer Programming along with their theory courses. All UG students go through courses on Engineering Mechanics, Basic Electrical Engineering and extensive courses on Mathematics like Linear Algebra, Differential Calculus, Numerical Methods, Complex Algebra during the first to fourth semester of their program to build a strong analytical base. A unique laboratory “Makerspace” is included in the revised curriculum. It is a collaborative workspace for promoting synthesis-based learning where the learners apply concepts which they learned in the class to create prototypes and products. This course has been designed keeping in mind about the multidisciplinary problems of the present world and a need to prepare students with a relevant training.
Additionally, there are compulsory courses on (i) English language to help the students to improve their communication skills, (ii) Economics course to give fundamental knowledge about micro and macro-economics, (iii) Biosciences course to provide fundamental knowledge and exposure to different aspects of life sciences, (iv) Flexible Engineering Elective(s) of smaller credits to impart Engineering aspects of different branches (v) Scientific, Engineering and Social aspects of Environmental Studies to sensitize students about the importance and conservation of environment and adverse effects of industrial and daily activities on it.
Consequently, BTech students’ study 10-12 practical courses from basic to advanced level independently during 3-8 semesters of their program. In the new revised curriculum, students take department elective(s) from third semester onwards and it will expose them early in different branch specific direction(s) and impart excitement among the students. Additionally, Institute offers Institute elective(s) from fourth semester onwards to increase their horizon in other engineering/science/humanities branches according to their own preferences. In every engineering branch, at least a course on machine learning techniques has been introduced which will train them to solve branch specific problems using ML/AI. Courses based on societal problems and advanced level professional courses like Robotics, Data Science, Quantum Computing, Design Thinking etc. have been incorporated in the UG program to provide students more insights into the upcoming challenges in the frontiers of science and technology. Students also have the provision to deposit, accumulate and redeem course credits against department elective(s) or institute elective(s) in the Academic Bank of Credit (ABC).
The Institute has enabled its BTech students to make their BTech project research-oriented of 6-7 months duration which can be done either outside the institute or within the institute. The institute also provides funding to some deserving and high quality BTech projects as well as the Institute awards the Best BTech Project among the graduating batch in its annual convocation. All the elective courses of BTech program are either department elective or institute elective enabling the students to have choice-based-credits system. Many courses of the 8th semester are cross listed for both PG and PhD students to enhance the interaction between the UG and PG students. The Institute started the concept of Minor programs and/or additional learning in March 2014 to provide its BTech students with an opportunity for additional learning and earn an additional degree by earning credits in at least five courses of a particular minor specialization in addition to BTech degree in his/her major specialization. At present minor programs are offered in Chemistry, Biosciences and Biomedical Engineering, Liberal Arts, Economics, Astronomy and Space Engineering. IIT Indore also provides an opportunity to its BTech students to convert their program into a 5 Year BTech + MTech Dual Degree program during the 6th semester.
