Candidates who want to withdraw or exit the process can do so between July 12 and July 14. JoSAA Counselling 2025: IIT Madras to commence classes from July 31, orientation on July 26-27; check details This year, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras announced several new undergraduate and postgraduate programmes set to commence from the academic session of 2025–26. These courses are designed to align with evolving technological changes and promote leadership in academia and industry. Additionally, IIT Madras has introduced new admission categories aimed at recognising students with proven achievements in sports and fine arts, thereby broadening access and inclusivity. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has introduced new undergraduate and postgraduate programmes from the academic year 2025–26, aimed at strengthening student preparation for emerging technologies and industry-academia leadership. In addition, the institute has formalised new admission categories for candidates with demonstrated excellence in sports and fine arts. IIT-M launched five new degree programmes this year across the undergraduate and postgraduate levels: BS (Chemistry): This four-year programme, with an optional upgrade to MS, will admit students via the IISER Aptitude Test. It combines theoretical learning with laboratory experience, offering opportunities for research projects, interdepartmental collaboration, and minor specialisations such as Data Science. MTech in Electric Vehicles: Admission to this interdisciplinary, industry-aligned programme will be through GATE. It focuses on the full electric mobility ecosystem, preparing students through coursework, lab sessions, internships, and research in electric vehicle subsystems. BTech in Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM): To be offered by the Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering, this programme integrates classical engineering knowledge with modern computational and AI tools. Admission is through JEE. BTech in Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME): Also offered by the same department, this programme trains students in medical device development, rehabilitation technology, and AI-driven healthcare solutions. Admission is through JEE. Both BTech programmes, CEM and iBME, also allow students to upgrade to five-year Dual Degree options under the Interdisciplinary Dual Degree (IDDD) framework. These include Computational Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Complex Systems and Dynamics. IIT Madras has launched the Fine Arts and Culture Excellence (FACE) admission route for undergraduate programmes beginning 2025–26. The FACE category is designed for students who have achieved distinction in fine arts and cultural activities. Admissions under this category will take place via a dedicated portal at and not through the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA). The Sports Excellence Admission (SEA), launched in the 2024–25 academic year, is aimed at recognising and enabling students who have excelled in sports to pursue technical education alongside their athletic pursuits. Both categories will reserve two seats per BTech and BS programme, one female-only and one gender-neutral.

IIT Madras invites JEE aspirants to ‘walk the halls of the campus' before Advanced results
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) is inviting JEE aspirants and their parents to attend a demo day events that will be held in both physical mode in several cities across India as well in online mode. It is an opportunity for them to interact with current students, faculty, and alumni. Physical events will be held at Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Vijayawada and Hyderabad, as mentioned in the press release. Interested JEE candidates have to register at since there are limited seats, said IIT-Madras in a statement. Through the demo day events, students can also seek clarification about recent changes, like the introduction of new courses. IIT Madras has introduced two new BTech Programmes – Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM) and Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME) — besides a BTech in AI and Data Analytics (AIDA) that was introduced last year. Students unable to travel to IIT Madras or any of the six other venues can also participate in an online session scheduled for June 3, during which Prof V Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, other faculty, and alumni will respond to various queries related to academic and non-academic aspects of life on campus. The current IIT Madras academic system aims to offer students flexibility in their choice of courses via the elective system. Students can choose between their courses as electives, including courses from any other department. Students can also opt for a 'minor' or switch to an 'IDDD' (Inter-Disciplinary Dual Degree). Workshops for first-year students have been reintegrated into the semester, adding two more weeks of vacation time. Furthermore, a compulsory recreation course (Pass/Fail, 2 credits) has been introduced for students in the first two semesters, promoting a healthy work-life balance. The institute has decided to offer an entrepreneurship elective course in the third/fourth semester for interested students. IIT Madras had announced separate admission categories for those excelling in Sports and Fine Arts. The Institute has introduced Fine Arts and Culture Excellence (FACE) Admission to undergraduate programmes from the Academic year 2025 – 26. The 'Sports Excellence Admission' (SEA) was introduced from the last academic year of 2024-2025. This initiative is to recognise and reward talented students who have excelled in sports. This programme encourages deserving students to pursue higher education while continuing to excel in their sports. Under both these initiatives, two seats per programme will be allotted in all BTech and BS programmes of IIT Madras. Of the two seats in each programme, one seat will be female-only, and the other will be gender-neutral. IIT Madras Alumni and CSR partners have rallied together to provide financial support to 100 per cent of BTech students whose annual parental income is in the 'Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh' category for two consecutive years (2022-23 & 2023-24). The 'Merit-cum-Means' (MCM) Scholarship is one among the numerous financial assistance and scholarship support provided to students by IIT Madras, the Central and State Governments. SC/ST students admitted to the BTech program are exempted from paying tuition fees, irrespective of their parental income. Further, IIT Madras is also introducing the 'First Principles Teachers Award' this year to recognize exceptional educators who have made an impact on their students' educational journeys through teaching from first principles at a pre-UG level.
