IIT Bombay To Launch Interdisciplinary Dual Degree Programme

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay will soon launch the Interdisciplinary Dual Degree Programme (IDDDP) in Quantum Science and Technology. This two-year programme will concentrate on courses on QST and project work, to be undertaken in one of the centre-affiliated research groups.

Similar to existing dual degree programs at IIT Bombay, this new programme enables students to earn both a Bachelor's and Master's degree within a five-year span. Those pursuing a BTech can opt for this programme starting from their third year of study. IIT Bombay is also considering introducing the subject at the school level.

Who can register for IIT Bombay Interdisciplinary Dual Degree Programme? 

As per the updates, BTech students of IIT Bombay, from any discipline, can register for this programme. The other requirements to apply for the course will soon be released at the official website: quicst.org/academics. The course will be offered by the Centre of Excellence in Quantum Information Computing Science and Technology (QuICST). The centre was inaugurated in August 2022. 

Suddhasatta Mahapatra, an assistant professor of Physics at IIT Bombay said, “The centre is also looking at connecting with other engineering or technology institutions to help them increasingly include quantum technologies in their syllabus. Through our educational outreach programme, we are looking forward to supporting faculty training by preparing faculty development modules. It is still a rough plan in the making.”
