IIT Gandhinagar looking to corporates to fund IIT Chairs

July 2nd, 2008

Following is an excerpt from a report in itexaminer.com.

The Gujarat government has requested the corporate houses in the state to aid the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT-G).

The industry has been asked to set up chairs to fund the IIT, to enable it to recruit a high-quality faculty. Each chair will provide a funding of Rs 6 million ($138,502) for five years. A first batch of 103 students is believed to be enrolled.

The construction of the college is expected to be completed in about four years. Until then the IIT will be housed in Vishwakarma government engineering college, Chandkheda, on the Koba highway.
