Q/ How are you preparing students to deal with the changing dynamics in industry and the economy?
A/ We are doing a full curriculum review and are revamping our curricula, whether it is BTech, MTech or BSc. We want to ensure that every IIT Delhi graduate has exposure to AI and sustainability, and additional skill sets like communication and working in teams. We are providing flexibility in curricula so that students have choice and more experience of doing things hands-on. We expect our graduates to be future-ready and excited about science and technology. We also expect them to be innovators. We have an incubation mechanism and want students to become entrepreneurs.
Q/ Any updates about IIT Delhi's centres of excellence?

It is a politically motivated attempt to rewrite the complex, multilayered history of one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited metropolises.
