IIT, Delhi - On an Expansion Spree

IIT Delhi slipped down by one place to rank #3, perhaps one can blame it on its low rating in placement parameter. Nevertheless, IIT Delhi is geared up for a massive exercise of renewal and expansion in its golden jubilee year. Its consistent efforts in obtaining additional land for its future expansion are finally yielding fruit and the Haryana Government has agreed to allot 100 acres of land in the NCR region to
IIT Delhi.

In FY11, 27 new regular faculty members were appointed and `175 lakh allocated to encourage development in research facilities. In April 2011, 6 new projects worth `79 lakh were sponsored by international organizations and 285 new projects worth `43.68 crore were sponsored by national organizations. Meanwhile, a PhD program under the National Resource Center for Value Education in Engineering (NRCVEE) was undertaken. The institute has also set up a Curriculum Review Committee to look into the courses and syllabus for UG programs in view of changed circumstances and aspiration of students.
