Starting from the academic year 2025–2026, the Department of Design at IIT Delhi will introduce a new, four-year undergraduate program ‘B.Tech. in Design’. Admission in this program will be based on JEE Advanced ranks, and aspirants must also pass the design aptitude test, known as UCEED (Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design).
Students pursuing a B.Tech. in Design will not only gain theoretical knowledge but also practical skills. They will learn about standard technologies, methodical design thinking processes, and research methodologies for assessing socio-technical systems. Additionally, they will develop strong communication, presentation, and collaboration skills, making them well-prepared for the professional world.
"Our expectation is that after graduating from IIT Delhi with a BTech in Design degree, the students will take up, in the long run, leadership positions in industry, academia, government, consulting, and entrepreneurship. The program offers enough choices and freedom for the students to exercise diverse career paths," said Prof. Jyoti Kumar, HoD, Department of Design.
"As the proposed curriculum is geared to prepare students for leadership positions, it is broad-based and analogous to the existing programmes at IIT Delhi. The approach of the Institute would be to create new leaders in Design who can see the big picture as generalists and have the ability to go into details as a design specialist does," Prof. Kumar added.
