Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has launched several programmes in line with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020), including B Tech courses in Material Engineering, Energy Science and Engineering, Computational and Applied Mechanics, and an MSc course in Economics.
A statement issued Thursday said the Institute has taken multiple initiatives to implement NEP 2020, which focuses on multidisciplinary higher education.
Other programmes the Institute will offer are MTech courses in Cybersecurity, Electric Mobility and Data Science, Biomolecular and Bioprocess Engineering, and Masters in Public Policy.
Along with these, IIT Delhi has started the Centre for Automotive Research and Tribology, School of Artificial Intelligence, and others, to promote interdisciplinary research. It is also providing students with multiple entry and exit options, which is one of the key provisions of the NEP. For instance, a student can change their discipline at the end of the first year of undergrad, transfer from one postgraduate programme to another, and upgrade.
Professor Narayan D Kurur, Dean, Academics said: “IIT Delhi is committed to implementing the NEP provisions. We have implemented several provisions, and several others are in the pipeline. We have signed up for the Academic Bank of Credits.”
