IIT Jammu B.Tech Engineering Physics: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The B.Tech in Engineering Physics at IIT Jammu is a 4-year full-time undergraduate programme that bridges the gap between fundamental physics and engineering applications. The programme trains students in areas such as quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, photonics, nanotechnology, condensed matter physics, and computational physics, while also providing exposure to engineering disciplines. It is designed for students with a strong aptitude for physics and mathematics who wish to pursue careers in research, advanced technology, or interdisciplinary engineering fields. With a seat intake of 25 students per year, it is one of the smaller and more selective programmes at IIT Jammu. Total fees are approximately INR 8.3 Lakhs for General/OBC/EWS students over 4 years. Admission is through JEE Advanced followed by JoSAA counselling.

As of March 2026, the JEE Advanced 2026 exam is scheduled for May 17, 2026, and JoSAA counselling for 2026 is expected to begin in June 2026 (tentatively June 10-12, 2026). Admissions for the 2026-27 batch are upcoming. The General category closing rank for Engineering Physics at IIT Jammu in JoSAA 2025 was 13,428, with an opening rank of 11,846.
