BackgroundAt the undergraduate level, IIT Delhi provides science-based engineering education with a view to produce quality engineer-scientists.

7 Every student needs to do compulsory foundation COURSES in the areas of basic sciences , humanities, social sciences and engineering sciences apart from departmental requirements in his/her core engineering discipline. Departmental COURSES (core and electives) constitute about half of the total curriculum. Further, students do open category electives to develop broad inter-disciplinary knowledge base or to specialize significantly in an area outside the parent discipline. Many activities are included in the undergraduate curriculum as non-graded core with a view to enhance the quality of learning. The curriculum provides broad based knowledge and simultaneously builds a temper for a lifelong process of learning and exploring. At present, IIT Delhi offers 14 programmes and 3 Dual Degree (integrated and ) Delhi also offers multiple Postgraduate Programmes ( (Research) ) through its Departments, Centres, and Schools.

8 Currently, there are 35 , 6 Interdisciplinary , 15 (R.), 5 , 1 , 3 (including part time), 1 and 31 programmes offered by different academic units. In addition, there are 2 joint and 1 joint PG Diploma programmes being offered in collaboration with partner institutions. The Institute has multiple COURSES at appropriate levels to cater to the academic requirements of the Postgraduate students. New COURSES are also being continuously added to the existing pool of PG and COURSES . At the postgraduate level, students are also encouraged to look beyond their area of specialization to broaden their horizons through open electives and self-learning. The medium of instruction in the Institute is Institute follows a semester system. An academic year typically runs from July through June next year and is essentially comprised of two semesters. Typically, the 1st semester starts in the last week of July and ends in the 1st week of December; the 2nd semester starts in the 1st week of January and ends in the 2nd week of May.

9 Additionally, the summer semester which starts in the 3rd week of May and ends in the 2nd week of July, is utilized in some exceptional cases. Detailed schedule is given in the Semester Schedule that is made available before the start of each Departments, Centres and SchoolsEach course is offered by an Academic Unit which could be a Department, a Centre or a School. The names of Departments, Centres and Schools and their two-letter codes are given in Table 1.
