Prof. Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director
Students can avail IIT Palakkad and IIT Tirupati
The sites for the permanent campus have been identified for both IITs and the respective State Governments are in the process of handing over the land. The two new IITs will start functioning in temporary premises of sufficient data-size with adequate hostel capacity.Students can avail IIT Palakkad and IIT Tirupati as an option while filling their online choices from 25th June 2015. Classes at both the IITs will begin during the first week of August 2015.The students will experience in the temporary campus academic and living facilities similar to those in any of the IITs. The new IITs will have their own academic building, hostels and residential premises for faculty and staff. Reputed senior faculty members have been identified to teach at both the IITs, some of whom have been Heads of Departments and Deans. Several of them will be resident at the new IITs. The classrooms and laboratories are equipped to the same, if not better, level compared to an existing IIT, and the hostels are as comfortable. Most importantly, the students will experience personalized education due to the smaller batch data-size and extra attention being paid by the highly experienced faculty and staff. No effort and expense is being spared to ensure that the facilities are state-of-the-art, the teaching is high-quality, and the ambience inviting. IIT Madras has earlier mentored IIT Hyderabad and IIITDM when they were set up a few years ago, and this experience stands it in good stead.For more information on the two IITs:IIT Palakkad: iitpkd.ac.inIIT Tirupati: iittp.ac.in
