The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has launched India’s first undergraduate minor programme in Quantum Technologies, developed in collaboration with the National Quantum Mission (NQM). This initiative is designed to prepare students for the emerging quantum revolution and position India as a leader in the global quantum innovation landscape.

The UG Minor Programme in Quantum Technologies is structured to address the strategic needs of the quantum ecosystem. It covers four key areas: Quantum Computation and Simulation, Quantum Communication and Cryptography, Quantum Sensing, and Quantum Materials and Devices. The flexible curriculum allows students to select 18 credits from a pool of over 30, enabling institutions to adapt the programme to their available resources.

The programme is open to students from all engineering disciplines, beginning in their third or fourth semester. It is designed to bridge the gap between academia and industry, ensuring that students gain practical knowledge in quantum technologies. To support this, AICTE has collaborated with prestigious institutions such as IITs and IISERs to offer Faculty Development Programs (FDPs), helping educators deliver high-quality quantum education.

The programme was launched with the presence of several distinguished dignitaries, including the Chairman of AICTE and the Chairman of the NQM Governing Board. The introduction of this programme aims to cultivate a skilled workforce that can drive innovation and contribute to the ambitious objectives of the National Quantum Mission.
