IIT Madras Director Assures to Increase Joint Degree Courses, Looks at Re-Skilling

New Delhi: Indian Institute of Technology, Madras Director, Prof V Kamaroti has announced that the institute is planning to start more joint degree courses. With plans to establish an offshore campus in Tanzania taking shape and efforts to boost the number of partnerships with various overseas colleges, IIT Madras is currently in an expansion phase.

According to the Centre's NIRF rankings, the Director of IIT Madras, has recently spoke with a group of reporters about some of the ongoing projects at India's top higher education institution.

Q. Are there any plans for IIT Madras to increase the number of joint degree programmes?

Prof Kamakoti:Yes, that process is underway. For instance, we have had conversations with numerous universities in the UK. You see, while we do a good job of teaching some subjects, other countries do a much better job. The goal is to collaborate so that a student at IIT Madras can take some courses here and other courses at the other institution..

We also need to keep in mind that different countries have different levels of interest in various topics. Nepal, for instance, is particularly interested in energy systems. They are highly hydel energetic. They have a variety of renewable energy sources. Our group for energy systems is highly potent. With Kathmandu University, we provide a joint degree M Tech programme in energy systems. At least eight to nine requests for joint degrees are being discussed.

Q. What other areas of expertise do you prioritise?

Prof Kamakoti: The I2MP (International Interdisciplinary Master's Degree Programmes) category now includes 10 international M Tech programmes. The courses cover a variety of topics, including robotics and quantitative finance, as well as additive manufacturing, quantum sciences, and cyber-physical systems. We intend to run 20 of these programmes. Depending on the interest of the other universities, all of these programmes may be offered as joint programmes. There is currently a lot of interest in this. Particularly useful in this regard is the hybrid teaching model.

Q. What else do you have in mind?

Prof Kamakoti: Here, education is going to be crucial. We are looking to tap into the area of new skilling or reskilling. The industry has a high demand for training and reskilling. We'll intervene at this point. There will be a fee for the courses. We have a very distinct business strategy. We now understand exactly how to turn a concept into a startup. There are also processes for transforming a concept into a design and then, in the case of innovations, a prototype.

We are currently considering a patent-per-day plan. We also aim to reach out to the underprivileged and educate them. We have a responsibility to continue to be open to everyone since we are a public institution. In this regard, we are starting a project called "democratising science education." To lay solid foundations, we will provide high-quality science instruction to students in grades 9 through 12. In order to do that, lectures will be translated into 21 different Indian languages, recorded, and posted on the Swayam platform.
