B.Tech. (IT) Admission 2010 at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi
Introduction: IIIT-D is an institute focused on IT and its application in some selected domains. The B.Tech. (IT) program is heavily IT oriented, with suitable courses in domain areas, humanities, and self and skill development.
The objective of the B.Tech. program at IIIT-Delhi is to prepare students to undertake careers involving innovation and problem solving using IT, or to undertake advanced studies for research careers in IT or the domain areas. Though IT is now becoming a discipline that is distinct from Computer Science, it is desirable to have a CS-based IT program, as such a program will allow a graduate to choose a career in CS or applied aspects of computing. IIIT-Delhi has a curriculum in which the foundational programderives heavily from Computer Science, and is supplemented with suitable IT oriented courses.
Most engineering programs start with general courses in Sciences and Engineering, and then migrate to specialized courses for the disciplines. While these courses are indeed foundational for many engineering disciplines, they are not foundational for IT – rather they can be treated as application domains (as is evidenced from the fact that most sciences and Engineering disciplines heavily use IT now). Hence, in our B.Tech. program we start with computing oriented courses first; science courses are done later by interested students. Besides being better suited for an IT program, this also enables the possibility of students seeing newer applications and possibilities of relating IT with these subjects.
Eligibility: A candidate who has secured 80 percent or more marks in the aggregate of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) in class XII from CBSE board or equivalent is eligible. However if the result of class XII is not declared by the respective board, the student from Delhi can sit for the entrance test. At the time of counseling, every student must submit his/her certificate of the result of class XII result. No candidate without the certificate of 80% in PCM will be entertained for admission.
