"WE FOSTER A CULTURE OF RISK-TAKING"

How has IIT Hyderabad carved a niche for itself among all the other IITs?

IIT Hyderabad, one of the second-generation IITs established in 2008, is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. We are proud of its ability to innovate and adapt more readily than older IITs, fostering a culture that embraces new ideas and risktaking. I believe failure is an essential component of learning and growth and that approach is pushing us to achieve success.

A hallmark of our educational philosophy is the introduction of fractal academics. Unlike traditional semester-long courses, IIT Hyderabad offers courses that can run for just one or two weeks, known as 'point-five credit courses' or 'one-credit courses. This flexible system allows students to explore various subjects and delve deeper into areas of interest by selecting more comprehensive courses in those domains.

In line with our innovative spirit, IIT Hyderabad has launched several unique B.Tech programmes tailored to meet industry demands and student interests.

Notable among these is the B.Tech in Engineering Sciences, which permits students to customise their curriculum by choosing courses across different disciplines. Additionally, the institution offers specialised programmes in Biomedical Engineering, Bioinformatics and Industrial Chemistry.

How is IIT Hyderabad working to keep pace with the industry?

BUDGET BETS ON SPEED, STEEL & STRATEGIC DEPTH

NIRMALA Sitharaman's ninth Budget suggests that India believes the long taper is over and that a cautious takeoff has begun. For much of the past decade, criticism of India’s economic management followed a familiar script: a government that spoke the language of transformation but governed with the instincts of a caretaker, balancing a vast electorate's demands against the imperatives of long-term industrial growth.

Central Bank Decides to Give Private Sector Driven Growth a Chance

IN ITS LATEST bi-monthly monetary policy review, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India has once again chosen calm over drama, keeping the repurchase rate — better known as the repo rate — unchanged at 5.25 per cent. The decision, widely anticipated, suggests that the central bank is in no hurry to either slam the brakes or hit the accelerator as the economy navigates mixed global cues and a steady domestic demand.

Supply Without Private Conviction

AFTER SUCCESSIVE Budgets that attempted and could not engineer a consumption revival, the government has decisively pivoted back to the supply side of the economy. This shift is neither accidental nor ideological. The consumption push did not deliver the virtuous cycle policymakers hoped for, and private investment – the elusive lodestar of the post-pandemic recovery – remains stubbornly below pre-Covid levels.
