Center of Excellence

Our aim iss to achieve excellence in emerging and high-potential areas by partnering with leaders in the private or public sectors who possess complementary strengths. The objective is to enhance the IIC’s growth and improve its ranking in ARIIA through collaboration. The CoE will focus on areas where IIT has significant expertise, identifying strong partners and important problems to solve collectively. The collaboration will follow a mutually agreed roadmap, structured around 'Collaborative R&D', with an emphasis on scaling up for excellence by engaging more partners from both academic and industry sides. The CoE will also contribute to academic programs, such as micro-specializations, GIAN, and MOOCs, and will aim to address national-level problems by building a consortium. Potential areas of focus include ICT (AI/IoT), Energy, Bio/Genetics, and Manufacturing (MSME).
