Director's Corner

Welcome to IIT Delhi. You have arrived at one of the finest institutions in India, an institution that is ranked among the top 50 in the world for Engineering & Technology in the recent QS world subject rankings. IIT Delhi is also an institution that has produced over half of all the Unicorn (Billion dollar valued tech startups) founders from India. We take pride in the quality of research our faculty do, in the technologies that we put out into the society and the world class graduates we produce. Please take your time in browsing through the webpage and do not hesitate to contact us if you require any more information.

If you are looking for an opportunity to study or work in a world-class institution in India, you have come to the right place! Nationality is no bar here. At IIT Delhi we have adopted a simple philosophy: Get the brilliant minds, create the right atmosphere for them to flourish and then step back and watch them grow into confident adults or world-leaders. The first part of this three part formula is ably conducted by my colleagues in their respective departments and centres, many of whom you know as prominent researchers in their areas, and the third part of this formula is in your hands. As the Head of this great institution, let me share our collective vision regarding the second part, the critical link, that takes you from a fresher to a confident adult or a new hire to a leader in your field.

First, let me tell you about the place you will live when you join us: We are located in the vibrant part of the national capital that is popularly called South Delhi. It is a picturesque 325 acre campus, with some of the country’s finest schools, a crèche on campus and many world class research institutions and hospitals within a 2 KM radius. The campus location takes care of most of your worries — from infant or school-going children to working spouses and old parents.

Once your personal life is taken care of, you will, naturally, think of the education and the research environment we offer. With a continuously evolving academic curriculum which lays great emphasis on practical training, we provide world class education and training to our students. We also recognise that contemporary research extends beyond theoretical work and we have striven to create a pool of high-end central research facilities with open access to our entire research community. Our world class experimental facilities don’t just provide you all the resources you need for your research, they also stand as a concrete promise that the expansion and augmentation of existing facilities and the deployment of new facilities is the institute’s topmost priority. For the purposes of further growth, IIT Delhi also has created two extension campuses in Sonepat and Jhajjar, measuring an additional 100 acres, which are to be primarily used for research and outreach activities.

Come and be a part of the IIT Delhi fraternity. We welcome bright minds and nationality is no restriction.
