IIT-D: The programme would offer courses, with about half of the courses from the core discipline of design and the rest from other departments.
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi launches a new four-year undergraduate programme, “BTech in Design,”, starting from the academic year 2025-26. According to the official press release, students will get admission to this programme based on their ranking in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced.
Along with the JEE Advanced ranking, the students will also have to qualify in the design aptitude test, Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED). “This is a unique programme crafted especially for empathetic and creative minds intent on understanding socio-technical systems around them and designing solutions for the wicked problems in these systems,” the institute said.
Curriculum overview
According to the press release, the programme curriculum will cover technologies, systematic design thinking processes, research methods for analysing socio-technical systems, communication and presentation skills, and teamwork.
The programme would offer courses, with about half of the courses belonging to the core discipline of design and the rest coming from other departments, centres, and schools.
Diverse career options
As per the institute, the programme will have a strong focus on product design, aiming to prepare students to use design to solve problems faced by industry and society.
Speaking about the programme, the head of the Department of Design, Jyoti Kumar, said, “Our expectation is that after graduating from IIT Delhi with a B.Tech. in Design degree, the students will take up, in the long run, leadership positions in industry, academia, government, consulting, and entrepreneurship. The program offers enough choices and freedom for the students to exercise diverse career paths”
“As the proposed curriculum is geared to prepare students for leadership positions, it is broad-based and analogous to the existing programmes at IIT Delhi. The approach of the Institute would be to create new leaders in design who can see the big picture as generalists and have the ability to go into details as a design specialist does,” he further said.
