No.1 INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DELHI
One of the 23 IITs created to be centres of excellence in training, research and development in science, engineering and technology, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, since its inception in 1961, has seen over 48,000 graduates in disciplines ranging from engineering, physical sciences, management, humanities and social sciences. It’s the strong culture of entrepreneurship, start-ups and incubators besides focus on research, development and innovation that makes the institute stand out.
Hence, featured among the top 200 world institutions in the QS World University Rankings 2023, IIT Delhi has an improved rank of 174 among the 1,422 globally ranked institutes. According to the QS World University Rankings 2023, IIT Delhi was among the top 12.2 per cent of the global institutes as compared to 25.8 per cent in 2014. There’s certainly something unique about IIT Delhi as it’s the most chased and aspired for institute for engineering aspirants. In fact, five of its academic programmes—electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, chemical engineering and civil engineering—are in the top 100 rank globally.
There has been a lot of activity on campus in the past one year as the institute could finally get students back with the number of Covid-19 cases on the slide. Be it new courses and programmes, researches, start-ups, MoUs or placements, the institute has been buzzing with developments. Rangan Banerjee, the director of IIT Delhi, says, “About two to three new centres of excellence were set up in the past one year.”
