Core course credit requirements have been lowered at IIT Roorkee. Additionally, it has enhanced the inclusion of elective course components in areas including business, community service, humanities and social sciences, and outreach.
The revised curriculum will be introduced starting with the academic session 2023–2024 for all B. Tech, B.Arch, BS–MS, and Integrated M. Tech. programmes, according to the official announcement. The latest adjustments have been made to stay current with technological, entrepreneurial, sustainable, transdisciplinary, and other innovations in both education and industry.

“IIT Roorkee is very happy to roll out the new UG curriculum that is NEP 2020 compliant. The innovative curriculum promotes multi-disciplinary and project-based learning. On many aspects, for example – introduction of the Talent Enhancement Basket and courses like CORE, this curriculum is unique in India and I am sure, the framework will be able to inspire other institutes as well. The curriculum has created wonderful opportunities for the students to get involved in solving societal problems, thus advocating the philosophy of ‘solving local problems with local talents’. The curriculum is so designed that all students shall learn the basics of AI/ML & data science; also, flexibility has been given to the students to prepare themselves for the global stage while in the institute by crediting selected courses from selected leading universities of the world”, said Professor K. K. Pant, Director, IIT Roorkee talking about programme revision expressed that the UG students will now have better reasons to choose this institute.
