IIT Madras has invited applications for its web-enabled MTech and postgraduate diploma courses for 2026, with the last date to apply set as May 31. The programmes are aimed at working professionals and graduates who want to improve their technical skills through flexible learning. Candidates applying for MTech programmes must have a relevant educational qualification and at least two years of work experience, while the postgraduate diploma courses are open to graduates, including freshers. Interested candidates can apply through the IIT Madras CODE portal.

Flexible Courses For Professionals

The web-enabled courses are designed to help learners continue their education without leaving their jobs. Live online classes will generally be held during evenings or weekends, making them suitable for working professionals. The entrance examinations for the courses are expected to be conducted in June and July 2026, while classes are likely to begin in August or September 2026. The course structure gives learners a chance to study from IIT Madras while balancing work and personal commitments.

PG Diploma And MTech Options

IIT Madras is offering multiple entry and exit options under these programmes. Students can first join a postgraduate diploma course and later decide whether to complete the diploma or continue towards the MTech degree. The available course areas include aerospace engineering, artificial intelligence and information security. The initiative is expected to benefit fresh graduates, early-career professionals and experienced employees looking for career growth through advanced technical education from a premier institution.
