• IPU introduces BTech in Metrology, admissions via JEE Main.
• The program was developed with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).
• New orphan quota with full fee waiver from the 2025 session.

Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (IP University) will launch a new engineering program, BTech in Metrology, in the upcoming academic session. Admission to the BTech program will take place via the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main.

While other programs at the university admit students based on their IPU Common Entrance Test (IPUCET) scores, admission to this program will solely rely on JEE Main scores.

IP University intends to finalize an agreement with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to introduce the BTech programme in Metrology starting the upcoming academic session. The institute emphasized that metrology is fundamental to basic engineering, and this program is currently offered at only two to three IITs; IP University will be the first in India to launch this program.

Stating that metrology is fundamental to basic engineering and currently offered at just two to three IITs, GGSIPU said: “IP University will be the first university in the country to introduce this programme.”

“The programme will be a blend of the Indian Knowledge System to the modern marvels of engineering,” it added.
