MUMBAI: After almost a decade, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is adding a new undergraduate programme to its course offerings. A Btech course in industrial engineering and operations research will be added from 2024 and candidates will be admitted based on the JEE scores. The last course added in the technical space by this college was environment engineering, which was added about ten years ago.
The decision to offer the IEOR programme was cleared in the recently held senate meeting.The Powai college runs this course at the post graduate and PhD level, but the need to introduce it earlier was felt because a “nation that is on a fast-track to growth” needs the manpower with this training.
“This is going to be a very popular course, we feel. It will offer a combination of supply chain, artificial intelligence, machine learning. Today logistics and operations is a lot of science and technology coming together,” explained IITB director Subhasis Chaudhuri.
Recently, FedEx committed to a donation of $5 million, some of which will go to setting up student facilities and some for research. At the same time, the IITB also works with the Indian Railways for scheduling trains. “There are many others companies we feel where trained experts in this field will be needed. We are confident that Btech students who graduate from this course will get good jobs. Also, there is a minor’s programme (short credit course) offered in IEOR and it is also very popular,” said IITB deputy director S Sudarshan.
The centre will be converted to a full-fledged department and the details on total student intake will be released in the upcoming information brochure that will be released when the details of the JEE (advanced) 2024 will be released.
