PUBLISH DATE 21st April 2025

Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati today launched four-year Bachelor of Science (BS) Program in Biomedical Science and Engineering. The programme will be offered by the Jyoti and Bhupat Mehta School of Health Sciences and Technology (JBMSHST) at IIT Guwahati.

The collaborative learning experience with All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Guwahati and the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) Guwahati is one important highlight, as per a statement by IIT-Guwahati.

Prof Devendra Jalihal, director, IIT Guwahati, said, “This interdisciplinary program brings together engineering, medical sciences, and pharmacology on a single platform, addressing the need for professionals who can work across disciplines to tackle future challenges. As the problems of tomorrow will not fit into traditional silos, this program is designed to bridge those gaps. Supported by the Mehta Family Foundation and reviewed by leading experts from IIT Guwahati, AIIMS Guwahati and NIPER Guwahati, it is set to be a pioneering initiative. We are confident that this program will foster the next generation of biomedical engineers, preparing them to innovate and lead in healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.”

The application process for the program will begin on April 25- May 25, 2025. Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the official website and submit their applications.

Prof Ashok Puranik, Director, AIIMS Guwahati, said, “This multi-institutional collaboration is a landmark initiative that will shape the future of healthcare and education in India. With this initiative, we aim to bridge the gap between engineering, biotechnology, and medicine. With advancements in genomics, Artificial Intelligence, 3D printing, and nanotechnology, it empowers the next generation of biomedical innovators. By combining the strengths of AIIMS Guwahati, IIT Guwahati, and NIPER Guwahati, we are creating an ecosystem that will drive the future of healthcare and medical technology in India.”

The program will offer a strong academic foundation with comprehensive coursework spanning pre-clinical, para-clinical, and clinical domains. Students will gain hands-on skill development through specialised engineering modules designed to bridge the gap between technology and healthcare.

A key highlight of the program is its clinical immersion component, which allows students to work closely with renowned surgeons and healthcare professionals, gaining valuable hands-on experience. In addition, the curriculum features a cross-institutional learning approach through collaborations with AIIMS Guwahati and NIPER Guwahati, ensuring that students are exposed to a wide range of insights and methodologies in the fields of biomedical science and engineering.
