1.Introduction1.1 BackgroundAt the undergraduate level, IIT Delhi provides science-based engineering education with a view to produce qualityengineer-scientists. Every B.Tech. student needs to do compulsory foundation courses in the areas of basicsciences, humanities, social sciences and engineering sciences apart from departmental requirements in his/hercore engineering discipline. Departmental courses (core and electives) constitute about half of the total curriculum.Further, students do open category electives to develop broad inter-disciplinary knowledge base or to specializesignificantly in an area outside the parent discipline. Many activities are included in the undergraduate curriculumas non-graded core with a view to enhance the quality of learning. The curriculum provides broad based knowledgeand simultaneously builds a temper for a lifelong process of learning and exploring. At present, IIT Delhi offers 14B.Tech. programmes and 3 Dual Degree (integrated B.Tech. and M.Tech.) programmes.IIT Delhi also offers multiple Postgraduate Programmes /Ph.D.) through its Departments, Centres, and Schools. Currently, there are 35 M.Tech., 6 Interdisciplinary M.Tech.,15 M.S.(R.), 5 M.Sc., 1 M.Des., 3 M.B.A. (including part time), 1 M.P.P. and 31 Ph.D. programmes offered by differentacademic units. In addition, there are 2 joint Ph.D. and 1 joint PG Diploma programmes being offered in collaborationwith partner institutions. The Institute has multiple courses at appropriate levels to cater to the academic requirementsof the Postgraduate students. New courses are also being continuously added to the existing pool of PG andPre-Ph.D. courses. At the postgraduate level, students are also encouraged to look beyond their area of specializationto broaden their horizons through open electives and self-learning.The medium of instruction in the Institute is English.The Institute follows a semester system. An academic year typically runs from July through June next year and isessentially comprised of two semesters. Typically, the 1st semester starts in the last week of July and ends in the 1stweek of December; the 2nd semester starts in the 1st week of January and ends in the 2nd week of May. Additionally, thesummer semester which starts in the 3rd week of May and ends in the 2nd week of July, is utilized in some exceptionalcases. Detailed schedule is given in the Semester Schedule that is made available before the start of each semester.1.2 Departments, Centres and SchoolsEach course is offered by an Academic Unit which could be a Department, a Centre or a School. The names ofDepartments, Centres and Schools and their two-letter codes are given in Table 1. Some programmes are offeredjointly by multiple academic units and are classified as interdisciplinary programmes; their codes are given in Table 2.Table 1: Academic Departments, Centres and SchoolsName of Academic Unit (alphabetical order)Code ofAcademic UnitCoursePrefixCRCRAMApplied Mechanics, Department ofApplied Research in Electronics, Centre forAIArtificial Intelligence, School ofAtmospheric Sciences, Centre forAutomotive Research and Tribology, Centre forBiochemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Department ofASBEBBCTBMBiomedical Engineering, Centre forCHChemical Engineering, Department ofCYChemistry, Department ofCECivil Engineering, Department ofCSComputer Science and Engineering, Department ofddDesign, Department ofEEElectrical Engineering, Department ofESEnergy Science and Engineering, Department of1-*ASBLBiological Sciences, Kusuma School ofAPITSBBMCLCMCVCOddELxx
