Chennai, May 19 (UNI) IIT Madras, the Nation’s No: 1 Ranked Engineering Institute, is launching

two new undergraduate engineering courses from the coming academic year 2025-26.

The courses are being offered through the Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering, which has been at the forefront of interdisciplinary research since the inception of

IIT-Madras in 1959.

Students who have cleared the JEE (Advanced) can choose these two new programs in the upcoming Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JOSAA) Counselling.

They will have a total student strength of 40 each, a release from IIT-M said on Monday.

The course code for B.Tech. in Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM) is 412U

and B.Tech. in Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME) is 412V.

IIT-M Director Prof. V. Kamakoti said as technology witnesses rapid changes, it is extremely

important for Higher Educational Institutions to introduce new programs to bridge the academia-industry gap.

These two new state-of-the-art B.Tech programs shall address all novel concepts relevant to

industry 5.0, Health Technology and Advanced Manufacturing areas, he said.

Both programs offer students the opportunity to upgrade to the five-year Dual Degree (B.Tech. + M.Tech.) through Interdisciplinary Dual Degree (IDDD) programs, three of which - Computational Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Complex Systems and Dynamics - are coordinated by the faculty of Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering.
