IIT-Bombay’s ‘flexible’ B-Tech course for academic year

Filed under:

Bay is introducing a flexible B-Tech course from this academic session that will allow a student to study something as different as sociology or economics alongside their engineering syllabus. The course will allow students to either pick up credits from other departments or graduate with honours or finish with the basic minimum credit level for a regular B-Tech course.

This initiative is part of IIT-Bombay’s Golden Jubilee celebrations, which will run from September 5 and end on its foundation day — 10 March, 2009. The institute expects to raise Rs 500 crore in this period besides strengthening its alumni network.

Other new courses this session include an integrated MSC-PhD in Energy Sciences, which will be extended to the Engineering department from 2008 and a joint PhD programme with the University of Singapore. The institute is also jointly conducting programmes with the Monash University, Australia. mbay is introducing a flexible B-Tech course from this academic session that will allow a student to study something as different as sociology or economics alongside their engineering syllabus.
