Summary
Applicants must have cleared JEE (Advanced) 2021
The course is being offered by the Department of Energy Science and Engineering
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi’s department of Energy Science and Engineering has launched a BTech programme in Energy Engineering.
Students who have qualified JEE (Advanced) 2021 are eligible for admission to this programme. The new course will admit 40 students for the 2021-2022 academic session.
K.A. Subramanian, head of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering (DESE), IIT Delhi, underlined the need to develop human resources to address various energy and environment-related challenges with foresight.
“This BTech course is designed to equip students with the essential knowledge and skills to take up the energy sector challenges and provide solutions to problems. The goal is to create sustainable energy, which is accessible, available and affordable. Energy is one of the fastest-growing sectors. It is in a critical transition from conventional to clean and renewable energy resulting in ample placement opportunities in energy sectors,” Subramanian said.
IIT Delhi’s 45-year-old Centre for Energy Studies (which is now the Department of Energy Science and Engineering) is one the oldest centres of its kind in the country. DESE imparts education in the energy domain and engages in cutting-edge research through its three MTech and PhD programmes.
“Energy is crucial as it has considerable implications on economic development and environmental sustainability. Hence, many opportunities exist in the energy sector. Students who are passionate about taking up a career in the energy sector may explore the new BTech programme,” IIT Delhi director V. Ramgopal Rao said.
Energy Engineering graduates are likely to find the best technical jobs in core energy sectors and organisations engaged in climate change, conventional energy transition to clean and renewable energy, energy access and security, application of AI and IoT in the energy sector. They can also take up higher studies in leading national and international institutions.
