Program Overview

Introduction to B.Tech in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR)

The B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) at IIT Bombay follows the basic curriculum pattern of all other B.Tech programs in the institute. This program allows for options such as honors, minor, conversion to Master's, and exit degrees, in addition to the basic degree.

Curriculum

The curriculum includes a mix of compulsory courses, labs, departmental electives, and open electives, providing maximum flexibility to the students. Students can do one or two-stage project (B.Tech project) and other open-ended courses to explore their individual interests.

Course Structure

The course will have a mix of classroom instruction, practical work, exposure to industry and other sectors, project work, and independent work by students. Instruction will be supported by teaching assistants and other resource persons. Evaluation will be through regular exams, assignments, project work presentations, and group work.
