IIT Madras Introduces Two Futuristic BTech Courses in Engineering and Healthcare for 2025
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras is stepping into the future with the launch of two new, forward-looking BTech programmes for the academic year 2025-26. Designed to bridge the gap between core engineering and cutting-edge technologies, these courses are being offered by the Departments of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering. Each programme will offer 40 seats and will be open to students who clear the JEE (Advanced) and participate in the upcoming Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counselling.
Here’s a closer look at the two new offerings:
- BTech in Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM) | Course Code: 412U
This dynamic four-year programme is built for students passionate about working at the intersection of physical systems and digital innovation. It blends traditional engineering with powerful computational tools like AI, machine learning, data science, and high-performance computing.
The curriculum includes a strong foundation in solid and fluid mechanics, materials science, embedded systems, electrical circuits, signals, and system dynamics.
Graduates can look forward to exciting careers in industries such as aerospace, robotics, automotive, manufacturing, as well as emerging fields like digital twins, smart infrastructure, and sustainable tech.
- BTech in Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME)
This innovative course empowers students to create next-generation medical technologies by combining biomedical science with instrumentation and electrical engineering.
With a strong focus on AI, IoT, and connected healthcare, the programme is designed to prepare students for the real-world challenges of modern medicine. Graduates will be equipped to lead in medical device innovation, rehabilitation tech, AI-enabled healthcare systems, and healthcare startups — all with a strong grounding in clinical relevance and ethical responsibility.
These new courses reflect IIT Madras’ commitment to preparing students for the evolving demands of tomorrow’s industries, where engineering meets technology and healthcare innovation.
