The Research. It is not easy to summarize the research output at an institutional level, and I am by no means an expert in the relevant metrics. However, for a typical academic, just looking us up should give a fair sense of what's going on. We maintain a reasonably up-to-date repository of publications that our faculty and/or students are involved in, a list of sponsored research projects by discipline, and a list of our research/lab facilities, where an update is overdue (and hopefully coming soon). Notably, a research park is in the works, after the government approved a 90-cr grant to that end. Most of our faculty have their recent publications listed on their profile pages, so that's a good place to start as well. You are also welcome to schedule a visit if you want a more direct sense of the research environment and the kind of work that goes on. In terms of the general atmosphere, we usually do well in terms of routinely having visitors on the campus: on an average week, there's always an interesting talk/event, either of a general or specialized nature, to participate in. Several of these are featured on our Youtube channel: lectures from our GIAN courses will soon be made available (one of them is already up), and videos from several courses, conferences, workshops, and one-off talks are also available. Please note that we are only able to capture a small fraction of the total activity, so I leave it to you to extrapolate or check our facebook feed for a more comprehensive overview. The Education. I don't imagine that we have attempted revolutionizing education in a fundamental sense: for example, we still rely on the JEE for selecting our undergraduate students, we do give out grades like everyone else, our courses still run on the semester system - so I figure we are quite normal in many ways. Having said that, we do experiment, and are about as disruptive as it is possible to be while staying within - or just skirting :) - the norms that come with being a part of the IIT fraternity. Here's a third-party reflection on our foundation program and here is another. Our curriculum structure makes it possible for people to either graduate early or later than their default program duration - we have seen some interesting consequences of this kind of flexibility. We're home to a fair number of brave/fun startup attempts. The Explorer's Fellowship and the Gram Fellowship allows for students to get some glimpses of the real world. The Self-Learning Mode is an interesting sweet spot between mandating attendance and letting students disappear with no sense of accountability. In terms of the content and the structure of our curricula, particularly at the undergraduate level, I realize that some of our choices are considered contentious. In that context, let me point out that we are intensely aware of the issues surrounding these choices: rest assured that the problems enjoy many a colorful debate during faculty meetings and other forums. The Campus. The permanent campus is a joy to be in. Watch this video tour to get a sense of the aesthetics, or check out the campus website to see the features of the campus. Sustainability is at the heart of the campus design, not an afterthought, and that reflects in several details. For example, we were featured in a case study of the Swachh Bharat Mission. We have received several recognitions for the innovations in construction technology, the welfare of the construction workers, and the green features integrated into the campus. General Facilities. We have generally excellent guest houses and hostels, a meticulously maintained library, and plenty of options for sport and recreation. I expect the campus to be fairly self-sustained when the second phase of construction is complete. The office spaces are wonderful, even when they were operational as shared spaces. For the record, and contrary to some speculations on this forum - the offices assigned now are not shared spaces by default. Also, several of us share our offices with students or other colleagues anyway, because it happens to be more productive and fun that way. On the flip side, we could use more hangouts and coffee joints in the academic area! Outreach. This is a huge focus area at the institute - whether it is attention to detail when it comes to the safety of construction workers, or initiatives like NEEV and NYASA. One senses that there is a tangible impact from these efforts, which get more and more systematic and sustainable with every passing year, and it is very heartening to see that this is a passion shared by the entire fraternity. The NIRF Rankings. We weren't the only one who got shuffled around. The rankings have been ripped apart by several experts so I would encourage you to look a little closer than just the number in the outcome. You might say that we didn't point out these philosophical issues when we had the eighth position last year... indeed, while it is true that we were thrilled, the NIRF rankings were not our only bragging rights from that year :) On the other hand, despite the various issues with the rankings themselves, we are in the process of evaluating what happened, and the extent to which we have contributed to the variation. --- Overall: I will emphasize again that there is a general recognition of areas where there is room for improvement. On a meta-note, what I think is reassuring is that the culture here creates frequent opportunities for introspection - for example, the annual leadership and academic conclaves; regular meetings and discussions at the level of the general community, the faculty body, the students, and so on; all done with the intention of reminding ourselves of our overall vision, taking stock and figuring out where we need to course correct. IITGN may not be utopian (what place is?)... however, anyone looking to form their impressions of the institute should consider looking at the work that we do, the collaborations we have, the events we are able to host, the visiting faculty we are able to attract, the kind of students we graduate, and so on. If possible, have direct interactions with people from IITGN over email or in person: you will get a wide(r) spectrum of perceptions. Every story has at least two sides, and I don't believe they are all proportionately represented here.
