Chennai: The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) has launched an industry-oriented Web-Enabled MTech in E-Mobility (WEMEM) for Working Professionals. The MTech programme was conceived with inputs from academic and industry experts and would be continuously upgraded based on industry needs. The last date to apply for this programme is May 26, 2024. The batch will start in September 2024.

Highlighting the need for this programme, Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, said “IIT Madras has been at the forefront of conducting upskilling programmes for Working Professionals in the domain of E-Mobility through several Certificate programmes. Participants of these programmes and the Automotive Industry have been asking for an MTech programme as a natural follow-up. We are happy to launch WEMEM and hope that it further drives our mission of accelerating human resource development in our Nation in this domain.”

This degree programme, being offered through IIT Madras’ Centre for Outreach and Digital Education (CODE), has been designed to meet the academic rigour expected of an MTech degree from IIT Madras while orienting the courses to practice. The Department of Engineering Design, IIT Madras, is coordinating WEMEM. 

Further, Prof. Prathap Haridoss, Dean, Academic Courses, IIT Madras, said, “WEMEM has been carefully structured to meet the academic credit requirements of an MTech degree from IIT Madras. This includes core and elective theory courses, labs, and projects. In line with the New Education Policy, we have also enabled an intermediate exit in the form of a Post Graduate Diploma in E-Mobility.”

Elaborating on the programme, Prof. Devendra Jalihal, Chair, Centre for Outreach and Digital Education (CODE), IIT Madras, said, “CODE has been the Nodal office at IIT Madras for all non-campus academic and outreach programmes.
