CSE courses at IIT Jodhpur along with AI-integrated courses: Which courses are in high demand this year?

As observed in other top-notch IITs, "Computer Science & Engineering is the most popular stream in the Indian Institute of Technology, Jodhpur." It received 19,513 choices in 2025, which has been increasing from the previous year's 16,506 seats by a prominent 18.22 percent. The reason for this is the ever-growing popularity observed in the core streams relating to computing, and this has been the aftermath of the increasing demand in software engineering, system designs, and digital technologies to come.

However, the sharpest growth this year has been seen in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, with an increase of 20.17 percent, where the choices have moved up from 14,233 in 2024 to 17,104 in 2025. The remarkable growth clearly shows that students are now eager to acquire solutions using AI.

The IIT Jodhpur has expressed a remarkable preference regarding admission into different undergraduate programs offered at the institute during 2025, as is clear from the most recent information provided by the Joint Implementation Committee.

In the traditional sectors, the fastest-rising field was that of Civil & Infrastructure Engineering, with a growth rate of 16.91%, an increase from 8,598 to 10,052. Another traditional sector that showed a good rate of growth in the number of choices was Mechanical Engineering, with a growth rate of 15.01%, an increase from 12,091 to 13,906.

Electrical Engineering witnesed a truly remarkable growth of 14.05%, with the number of choices escalating from 13,629 to 15,544, largely due to the interest in the realms of power systems, electronics, embedded systems, as well as the emerging ones associated with semiconductors. The growth in output performance attained by the Chemical Engineering discipline is truly appreciable with the remarkable growth rate of 13.37%, advancing from 9,859 to 11,177.

One of the disciplines introduced as a novel course this year is Electronics Engineering, which was introduced as an undergraduate program and has managed to record a total of 13,265 selections by its first year of introduction.

Interdisciplinary & Science-Oriented courses also continued to register an increase. The Materials Engineering course registered a 14.99% increment with 7,130 to 8,199 preferences, and the Bio Engineering course registered a 12.66% increase with 6,319 to 7,119 preferences. Programmes offered in combination with Core Sciences and Engineering Applications also registered a notable increase. Chemistry with Specialisation recorded an increase of 16.42%, reaching 5,559 from 4,775, while Physics with Specialisation recorded a 13.70% increase to 5,902 from 5,191.

Hence, on an overall level, the JIC 2025 statistics indicate that IIT Jodhpur is gradually rising in rank in various streams, in which CSE is leading at the top rank, while AI/DS and Infrastructure streams are rising at a faster rate.
