NEED FOR ALIGNING CURRICULA WITH INDUSTRY REQUISITES

The Indian Institutes of Technology (ITS) have emerged as bastions of research, entrepreneurship, and skill development, playing a pivotal role in shaping India's technological landscape. Here we delve into the dynamic realm of IITs and their strategies for fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and employability in the face of global challenges.

In this interview, Prof. Vimal Katiyar, Dean of Research and Development at IIT Guwahati, Prof. Mihir Kumar Purkait, Dean of Alumni at IIT Guwahati, Dr. Lalit Pandey, Head of the Center for Career Development at IIT Guwahati, all offer invaluable insights on adapting to change and enhancing employability. The interview emphasizes the significance of continuous learning, adaptability, and a positive mindset in navigating challenging circumstances.

What role does research play in the IITs, and how do these institutions encourage innovation and entrepreneurship among their students?

Prof Vimal Katiyar: Research and Development (R&D) serves as a foundational pillar for our country's holistic growth. India's dynamism is a result of collaborative efforts across states, with the Northeastern states gaining prominence for their achievements in science and technology innovation.

The Northeast region, rich in natural resources and captivating landscapes, offers both opportunities and unique challenges. Since its inception, the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati has emerged as a beacon of Research and Development in Northeast India. The institute has taken a leadership role in translational research, elevating the Northeast's global standing.
