IISc Bengaluru, which is counted among the top science institutes of the country, has given big news for the students. Now there will be more opportunities to study engineering here. IISc is going to start three new B.Tech programs from the year 2026. Admission to these courses will be based on JEE Advanced marks and seats will be distributed through JoSAA counselling.

These are the three new B.Tech programs

• BTech in Materials Science and Engineering
• BTech in Mechanics and Computing
• BTech in Aerospace Engineering

Strong foundation in the beginning semesters

These three courses have been designed in such a way that students move forward with a strong foundation from the beginning. Here there will be special emphasis not just on reading books, but on understanding, experimentation and computer based methods. According to the institute, in the first few semesters the main subjects of engineering, mathematics and computation will be taught to the students. That is, such a foundation will be prepared in the beginning itself, so that further studies become easier and students can understand difficult problems.
