The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi has completely revamped its curriculum after 12 years with concerns about burden on students and changing industry demands being among the major reasons behind the massive exercise, according to Director Rangan Banerjee.

In an interview to PTI Tuesday, Banerjee informed that the last curriculum revision was done in 2013.

"The industry demands are rapidly changing... there is a whole new emergence of AI and focus on sustainability. The exercise for this revamp began in 2022. Over the last few years we have taken extensive stakeholder feedback. We have been talking to our alumni, students... our faculty are involved with industry and society. We have tried to incorporate flexibility to make the curriculum more exciting for students," he said.

Banerjee explained that the reduced class size for first two semesters will now be 150 instead of 300 to ensure more personalised attention.
