Message from Head of the Department

The Jyoti and Bhupat Mehta School of Health Sciences and Technology at IIT Guwahati aims to train biomedical engineers to take leadership responsibilities in the health sector. The school has been handsomely supported by Mehta Family Foundation for its upcoming state-of-art academic and research building.

The learning methodologies of the school have been designed to gain understanding on the diverse areas of of engineering, biological- chemical science, data analytics, and design principles through hands-on experiences. Thus, the students and scholars graduating from the school are strong in the fundamental areas of PCBM and well-equipped with the basics of electronic-mechanical-bio instrumentations, circuits, devices, bioprocesses, and design principles through hands-on experiences in the laboratories. In the near future, scientists and engineers from all streams, doctors, designers, regulators, entrepreneurs, and policymakers will invent and innovate under this umbrella to inculcate cutting-edge research from this school. The focus here is to build up on the gen-next inventions and innovations that reduce import dependency and make the country self-reliant.
