IIT Madras Launches Two BTech Courses, Admission Through JEE Advanced 2025 – News18

Last Updated:May 19, 2025, 18:27 IST

The courses include B.Tech. in Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM) and B.Tech. in Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME)

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras will be launching two new undergraduate engineering courses from the academic year of 2025-26. The courses include B.Tech. in Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM) and B.Tech. in Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME). These will be offered through the Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering, the IIT said in a press release.

Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, said, “As technology witnesses rapid changes, it is extremely important for Higher Educational Institutions to introduce new programmes to bridge the academia-industry gap. These two new state-of-the-art B.Tech programmes shall address all novel concepts relevant to industry 5.0, Health Technology and Advanced Manufacturing areas.”

Admission Through JEE Advanced This Year

Students who have cleared JEE (Advanced) can choose these two new programmes in the upcoming Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JOSAA) Counselling. They will have a total student strength of 40 each. The course code for B.Tech. in Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM) is 412U and for B.Tech. in Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME), it is 412V. Both programmes will offer students the opportunity to upgrade to the five-year Dual Degree (B.Tech. + M.Tech.) through Interdisciplinary Dual Degree (IDDD) programmes.

About The New IIT Madras Courses

Four-Year B.Tech. Program in Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM):

This programme aims to equip students for future digital engineering careers, where physical systems merge with computational and Artificial Intelligence. It combines classical engineering knowledge with modern computational tools such as machine learning, data science, and high-performance computing, along with fundamental training in solid and fluid mechanics, core electrical engineering (circuits, signals, and embedded systems), material science, and dynamics.

Through this course, students can pursue careers in aerospace, robotics, automotive, manufacturing, digital twin design, smart infrastructure, sustainable energy, and sustainable computing, the IIT stated.

Four-Year B.Tech. Program in Instrumentation & Biomedical Engineering (iBME):

This programme will train students to create next-generation medical devices by combining core Biomedical Engineering with solid foundations in electrical and instrumentation engineering. It merges fundamental engineering courses with modern, application-driven subjects such as IoT, AI, and web-enabled medical technologies, all centered around Biomedical Engineering.

The programme will equip graduates for leadership and entrepreneurship roles in the medical device industry, rehabilitation technologies, and AI-driven healthcare systems.
