This is the first time ever since NIRF ranks have been introduced, IITH, a second generation IIT, has entered into the elite club of top 7 engineering institutions in India, which used to be reserved for the 7 first generation IITs, so far. At IITH, our vision goes beyond rankings — we are building an institution that contributes meaningfully to India’s aspirations under national missions such as Atmanirbhar Bharat, Digital India, and Viksit Bharat@2047, said Prof Murty.
Our pioneering interdisciplinary BTech programs, world-class research in semiconductors, sustainable energy, artificial intelligence, and our strong emphasis on entrepreneurship are creating a future-ready ecosystem where innovation thrives.We are nurturing talent that can address global challenges while serving national priorities, said Prof Murty.
With this momentum, I am confident that IITH will continue to achieve many more laurels in the coming years and scale even greater heights in research, innovation, and education” said Prof Murty, said the press release.
