IIT Indore has decided to follow the footsteps of IIT Kanpur and start courses in the fields of Biosciences and Bioengineering.

Indian Institute of Technology, Indore (IIT-I) may become the second IIT to start courses in Biosciences and Bioengineering after IIT Kanpur. Planning to launch undergraduate and master’s courses in the fields from the next academic year, IIT-I has invited applications for faculty positions in the fields of molecular biology and immunology, structural biology, and chemical biology.

Once the faculty members are recruited, IIT Indore will seek the approval for the courses from the ministry of human resource and development (MHRD). IIT-I plans to admit about 40 students in the courses initially.

The admission to UG courses will be through JEE while admission to PG courses will depend on GATE scores.

However, lack of outstanding scientists in the field is impacting the faculty hiring prospects for the institute. The short supply of qualified people might cause a delay in commencement of the courses.
