The Indian Institutes of Technology
(IITs) are institutions of national importance
established through an Act of Parliament. The IITs are
well known, the world over, for quality education in
engineering and science, and research in frontier areas.
The aim of IITs is to build sound foundation of
knowledge, pursue excellence and enhance creativity in
intellectually stimulating environment. The current pace
of advancement of technology needs a coherent back up of
basic science education and research. The vibrant
academic ambience and research infrastructure of the
IITs motivate the students to pursue Research and
Development careers in frontier areas of basic sciences
as well as interdisciplinary areas of science and
technology. IITs have well equipped modern laboratories,
efficient computer networks and state of the art
libraries. The teaching process is structured to promote
close and continuous contact between the faculty and the
students. A number of financial assistantships and
freeships are available to SC/ST and other deserving and
meritorious students at individual institutes.
From the Academic Session 2004 - 2005,
Indian Institutes of Technology have started conducting
a Joint Admission test for M.Sc. (JAM)
for admission to M.Sc. and other post-B.Sc.
programs at the IITs. The main objective of JAM is to
provide admissions to various M.Sc., M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual
degree and other post-B.Sc. programs based on the
performance in a single test and consolidate 'Science'
as a career option for bright students from across the
country. In due course, JAM is also expected to become a
benchmark for normalising undergraduate level science
education in the country.
The M.Sc. (2 years), Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D., M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual degree and
other post-B.Sc. programs at the IITs offer high quality
post-B.Sc. education in respective disciplines,
comparable to the best in the world. The curricula for
these programs are designed to provide the students
opportunities to develop academic talent leading to
challenging and rewarding professional life. The
curricula are regularly updated at each IIT.
Interdisciplinary content of the curricula equips the
students to utilize scientific knowledge for practical
applications. The medium of instruction in all the
programs is English.
