IISc Bengaluru Unveils 3 New BTech Programs for 2026

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru will launch three new BTech programs for the 2026 academic session, broadening its engineering and technology undergraduate options. These new courses are designed to equip students for research and development in cutting-edge, interdisciplinary fields.

The newly introduced programs are BTech in Materials Science and Engineering, BTech in Mechanics and Computing, and BTech in Aerospace Engineering. Aspiring students will be admitted based on their JEE Advanced 2026 scores and participation in JoSAA 2026 counselling.

Currently, IISc offers two undergraduate programs: Bachelor of Science (Research) and BTech in Mathematics and Computing. The institute has a history of admitting students to its BTech Mathematics and Computing program using JEE Advanced results via its admission portal.

These new undergraduate programs are intended to cultivate the next generation of engineers who will drive innovation and research in emerging domains. They will integrate fundamental sciences, core engineering principles, and advanced computational tools to address significant national and global challenges.

The curriculum will provide a strong foundation in initial semesters, covering essential subjects in engineering, mathematics, and computational methods. Graduates will gain analytical, computational, and practical skills, making them valuable candidates for academic, industrial, and research positions worldwide.

Meanwhile, the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee is organizing JEE Advanced 2026, scheduled for May 17, 2026. Eligibility for JEE Advanced requires candidates to be among the top 2,50,000 performers in JEE Main 2026's BE/BTech paper.
