In a groundbreaking move, IIT-Madras has become the first Indian Institute of Technology to introduce a Fine Arts and Culture Excellence quota in its undergraduate admissions, according to Director V Kamakoti.
This initiative, set to begin in the 2025-26 session, aims to recognize and reward students with notable achievements in fine arts and cultural activities. Kamakoti highlighted that the institute had earlier announced a sports quota starting from the 2024-25 session.
Under the new scheme, two additional seats will be available in each BTech and BS course for Indian nationals and OCI/PIO candidates registering for the 2025 JEE (Advanced), with one seat reserved for women and the other being gender-neutral.
