The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur’s Department of Chemistry launched a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemistry with a specialization in April 2022.
BS Chemistry Admissions at IIT Jodhpur
The central theme of the BS course is ‘science-based engineering innovation’ and aims to equip the students with engineering-linked chemical science skill sets.
Course structure
The program is a four-year undergraduate program consisting of eight equal semesters. The academic programs at IIT Jodhpur generally run in semester mode with Autumn and Spring semesters.
In the first few semesters, this undergraduate program will transmit fundamental knowledge in basic science and engineering, which forms the basis of diverse skill sets used by scientists and engineers to innovate, design, and develop technologies for the future. Students will undergo training in advanced concepts of chemistry for the next two years. The final year of the curriculum will provide specialization in a focused area.
Eligibility criteria
Admissions to the course are done on the basis of JEE Advanced scores and candidates must have successfully completed class 12 or equivalent in the Science stream.
Course fees
Unreserved and OBC students have to pay Rs 1 lakh per semester as tuition fee and Rs 27,250 as semester fee. While SC, ST AND PwD students are fully exempted from tuition fees, they are required to pay only a semester fee of Rs 27,250.
