Indian Institutes of Technology Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are institutions of national importance established through Acts of Parliament for fostering excellence in education. Over the years, IITs have created a world class educational platform that is dynamically sustained through quality teaching and internationally acclaimed research with excellent infrastructure and the best available minds. The faculty and alumni of IITs occupy key positions in academia and industry throughout the world and continue to make considerable impact on all sections of the society. At present, there are twenty-three IITs across the country. The primary objectives of IITs are as follows:  To create an environment that encourages freedom of thought and pursuit of excellence and inculcate the necessary vision and self-discipline to achieve excellence.  To build a solid foundation of scientific and technical knowledge and to prepare competent and motivated engineers and scientists.  To kindle an entrepreneurial spirit among the students.  To prepare the students to become outstanding professionals and contribute to nation building. Admission to various undergraduate programs [see Clause 2: ACADEMIC PROGRAMS] across IITs is carried out through the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) [JEE (Advanced)]. The Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) 2024 [JEE (Advanced) 2024] and the subsequent process of admission to the IITs shall be governed by the rules contained in this document, read in conjunction with the Business Rules of the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) 2024 (to be published separately). 3 © JEE (Advanced) 2024 – Information Brochure ZONES, NAMES, LOCATIONS, AND ABBREVIATIONS OF THE TWENTY-THREE IITs Zone Institute City Abbreviation Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar Bhubaneswar IITBBS* East Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur Kharagpur IITKGP Zone Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad Dhanbad IIT(ISM) Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai Bhilai IITBH Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur Kanpur IITK* Central Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi Varanasi IIT(BHU) Zone Indian Institute of Technology Indore Indore IITI North- Indian Institute of Technology Delhi New Delhi IITD* Central Indian Institute of Technology Jammu Jammu IITJMU Zone Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur Jodhpur IITJ North- Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Guwahati IITG* East Indian Institute of Technology Patna Patna IITP Zone Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee Roorkee IITR* North Indian Institute of Technology Mandi Mandi IIT Mandi Zone Indian Institute of Technology Ropar Ropar IITRPR # Indian Institute of Technology Madras Chennai IITM* South Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad Hyderabad IITH Zone Indian Institute of Technology Palakkad Palakkad IITPKD Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati Tirupati IITT Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Mumbai IITB* West Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad Dharwad IITDh Zone Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar Gandhinagar IITGN Indian Institute of Technology Goa Goa IITGOA * Zonal Coordinating IITs to conduct JEE (Advanced) 2024 examination. # Organizing Institute, JEE (Advanced) 2024 examination. 4 © JEE (Advanced) 2024 – Information Brochure 2. Academic Programs Through JEE (Advanced), IITs offer admission into undergraduate courses leading to a Bachelors, Integrated Masters, Bachelor-Master Dual Degree in Engineering, Sciences, or Architecture. Both Bachelors and Masters degrees are awarded to candidates enrolled in the dual degree programs upon successful completion of the course curriculum requirements. In some of the IITs, students enrolled into the 4-year Bachelors program have the option to pursue B.Tech. (Honors) and/or B.Tech. with Minors. Dual Degree students may also pursue a Minor. Further, in some IITs, B.Tech. students also have the option to pursue Interdisciplinary Dual Degree, with Bachelors in the parent Department and Masters in some other Department. All the above options require fulfilment of certain academic performance related criteria as prescribed by the concerned institute. The types of academic programs offered at IITs and their minimum duration are given below*: B.Tech. Bachelor of Technology 4 years B.S. Bachelor of Science 4 years B.Arch. Bachelor of Architecture 5 years Dual Degree B.Tech.- Dual Degree Bachelor of Technology and Master 5 years M.Tech. of Technology Dual Degree B.S.-M.S. Dual Degree Bachelor of Science and Master of 5 years Science Integrated M.Tech. Integrated Master of Technology 5 years Integrated M.Sc.
