IIT Jammu Launches BTech in Engineering Physics 2025
There’s something new on offer this year at IIT Jammu — a full-fledged BTech programme in Engineering Physics. The institute announced the course ahead of the 2025 academic session, and yes, students can apply through JEE Advanced just like any other IIT programme.
The announcement might fly under the radar for many, but for science enthusiasts — especially those who love physics — this is a major development.
“Not everyone who’s good at physics wants to be a scientist. Some want to build something real.”
That’s how one faculty member at IIT Jammu described the new course in a student interaction this week. And that’s really what Engineering Physics is about — mixing deep science with real-world engineering.

So, what is Engineering Physics anyway?
It’s not your typical mechanical or electrical engineering course. Students in this programme won’t just study circuits or machines — they’ll be learning quantum mechanics, optics, nanotech, semiconductors, and even areas related to AI and photonics.
Basically, it’s the kind of course you take if you’re good at maths and physics, and you’re curious enough to ask:
“But why does this work the way it does?”
Admission? Same as Any IIT
- You’ll need to qualify JEE Advanced 2025
- Apply through JoSAA counselling
- Seat info will come out with the usual round-wise cutoffs
- No separate entrance or application
What You’ll Study
Expect a blend of:
- Core physics subjects like quantum theory and electromagnetism
- Modern tools like machine learning, optics, simulation
- Hands-on work in nano labs, photonics setups, and maybe even space science research
Why this is a big deal
IIT Jammu is among the younger IITs, but it’s been moving fast — and smart. By introducing a course like Engineering Physics now, they’re sending a message: they want to prepare students for what’s coming, not just what’s been done for 50 years.
This course isn’t just for job-seekers. It’s for builders, researchers, future startup founders, and probably some of the most curious minds sitting in India’s Class 12 classrooms right now.
