Research is a culture among the faculty and students of IITH. This is evident from the 25 research projects ranging from Rs 18 lakhs to Rs 18 crores that are ongoing at IITH. On top of the gamut of sponsored projects from various funding agencies, IITH has active collaboration with industry as well. To name a few, the faculty members are interacting closely with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Tojym Steel, Delphi, Neyveli Lignite Corporation, BHEL, DRDO and KDDI Japan. IITH also has an innovative academic program where the students are offered fractional credits and the first semester undergraduates are allowed to do a project of their choice. Many more innovations in the academic front are in the offing. IITH always strives to offer an innovative environment where one is not afraid to experiment with high-risk ideas.
