IIT Madras Offers Non-Campus BS Admissions Without JEE for 2026
IIT Madras is expanding admission options beyond the traditional JEE Advanced exam by offering non-campus BS degree programs, including Data Science and Applications. Students can apply through a qualifier process involving coursework and assessments, or via JEE Advanced qualification. The institute allows multiple admission cycles annually and accepts candidates who have completed or appeared for Class 11 or 12 exams. This approach aims to broaden access by evaluating skills and academic performance rather than relying solely on standardized tests.
