Of the other innovative plans that the institute is working on, one is the Liberal STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) courses, which are not offered by other institutes. This will help students take up a variety of STEM subjects and pursue a tailor-made course with the help of the credit system. "This is still at a very nascent stage as we are in the process of working on the idea," Chaudhuri added.
Deputy Director (academics) Prof. Prasanna Mujumdar, said, "IITB already has a number of non-engineering departments which are running very well. These include humanities, design and management among all."
Adding to this, Deputy Director (infrastructure) A K Suresh, said, "We also have to ensure that students pursuing such courses get employment in future. There also has to be faculty support for these courses. A committee is studying all the possible options."
