IIT Bombay explained the reason to pursue this course
If one looks at the B.Tech course-The BTech program includes common core courses in basic sciences (mathematics/ physics/ chemistry/ biology), humanities & social sciences (economics, design thinking, HASMED), engineering & technology (computer programming, Makerspace). These courses are common to all UG students at IIT Bombay, typically done in the first and second year of the BTech.
But here in this course the department’s core courses begin with the “Introduction to IE and OR” (IE101) course in the very first semester. IE101 will introduce students to relevant broad themes of IEOR, along with necessary problem solving & systems thinking skills. The other department cores include courses on probability & statistics, optimisation (linear & non-linear), data structures & algorithms, control systems, artificial intelligence/ machine learning, stochastic processes, simulation, risk & uncertainty, industrial systems, operations analysis, logistics & supply chain. Most of these department core courses are in the second year, with a few in the third year. The second-semester course on probability and statistics is being introduced at least a semester earlier than its counterpart in other departments since the concepts form a basis for many decision models.
Graduates of the program can also go on to pursue Masters, or MBA or PhD in a range of disciplines, in all leading Institutes in the world.
