IIT Programs 2026: New Courses Students Can Consider
IIT Madras has launched two new B.Tech programmes for 2025-26: Computational Engineering and Mechanics and Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering. These newly added courses are designed as per AI-driven engineering, advanced manufacturing, medical devices, healthcare technology and digital systems. Both programmes are available through JoSAA and have been added to match the fast changing industry demand.
IIT Delhi has also expanded its options with a new program called Bachelor of Technology in Design. As per the institute this programme combines technology, creativity, design thinking, and problem solving to prepare students for real world challenges. Admission to these courses is based on JEE Advanced results but students also need to qualify UCEED.
