New Delhi: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur has launched a four-year Bachelor of Science (BS) course instead of the existing five-year integrated Master of Science (MSc) programme.
According to an official statement, the science departments and Humanities and Social Science (HSS) department of the institute have joined hands to start the programme from JEE Advanced 2021 batch.
The students will now have the option of either completing the BS degree after four years, or complete ten semesters in total to earn the MS degree.
Students opting for the MS degree will be given the freedom to choose at the end of the sixth semester.
“Those who would like to earn MS degree would be given an option to do so at the end of 6th Semester of the 4-yr BS programme. Accordingly, 7th and 8th semesters would be planned so that a candidate gets MS degree at the end of 10th semester,” said the institute.
The IIT-Kharagpur will offer BS courses in Applied Geology, Chemistry, Economics, Exploration Geophysics, Mathematics and Computing, and Physics. The institute will soon make detailed syllabus and the course substructure available.
