Keen to establish itself as a premier research institute without diluting the international recognition it has earned as a centre of excellence, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, is now aiming at breaking into the worlds top 100 research institutions over the next five years, its Director Surendra Prasad said on Friday.
Addressing a press conference on the eve of the 38th Annual Convocation of the institution, Prof. Prasad said: We want to scale up our research. We want more post-graduate students, especially Ph.D. students. We want to reach out to good students and excite them with the idea of research. We are also looking at increasing the faculty strength. We want to have, on an average, three-four students per faculty pursuing research work.
One of the key challenges identified by IIT Delhi is to increase the number of Ph.D.s without compromising on quality. Today the career opportunities in research are much more than ever before. There are certain openings and positions that are available to students only if they have done research work, said M. Balakrishnan, Dean of Postgraduate Studies and Research.
