💨 Abstract

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are planning significant reforms to their M.Tech and PhD programs to address low enrollment and better align with industry needs. Key changes include making internships compulsory for M.Tech students, introducing dual industry-research tracks, and offering multidisciplinary options. For PhD programs, the focus will shift to project-first models with clear research goals, tighter timelines, and a greater emphasis on product-focused research.
