.jpg)
History[edit | edit source]
IIT Hyderabad was established by the Ministry of Education, Government of India under the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 2011. The Act was passed in the Lok Sabha on 24 March 2011[3] and by the Rajya Sabha on 30 April 2012.[4] It was set up in technical and financial assistance from Government of Japan.
IIT Hyderabad began functioning on 18 August 2008 from a temporary campus in Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited, with Prof. U. B. Desai as the founding director. In July 2015, it moved to its ~600-acre permanent campus at Kandi, Sangareddy. At present, Prof B S Murty is the Director of IIT Hyderabad. It is close to the outer ring road[5] and located on NH-65.
Campus[edit | edit source]
The IITH campus is on a land area of 576 acres (234 ha). IIT Hyderabad is around 15 km from the Outer Ring Road and is very accessible using both private and public transport. The academic building is designed by New Delhi-based ARCOP, and hostels, Lecture Hall, and academic departments by Pune-based acclaimed American architect Prof. Christopher Charles Benninger. This organic campus is divided into clusters of buildings being completed in phases starting in 2011. The campus is one of India's best examples of energy efficient, carbon neutral and sustainable architecture. The design grew out of local weather conditions and utmost care to enhance learning. The graduate and post-graduate programs are separated, student and teacher housing is divided, and girls' and boys' hostels are segregated for a pluralistic environment.
The 25 lakh square feet of buildings in Phase 1A; 3 academic blocks and 10 functioning hostel buildings (each with a capacity of 200) were completed in March 2019.[6][7][8]
Hostels[edit | edit source]
Most dorm rooms at IIT Hyderabad are traditional one-person rooms, with some two-person rooms. Most students reside in the twenty-three hostel buildings on campus. Six out of the 23 hostel buildings accommodate female students exclusively. Dining facilities are located in centralized halls. Students are assigned specific rooms at the time of admission where they will live, usually for the remainder of their stay at the institute. First-year undergraduate students are usually allotted double sharing rooms; while the other students receive single-occupancy rooms. Students are provided with complimentary high-speed fiber optic internet for academic and personal purposes. Radiant cooled rooms adds to the comfort.
IIT Hyderabad Research Park
In 2018, the Government of India sanctioned a Research Park to some IITs in which IIT Hyderabad got its place. IIT Hyderabad Research Park is a self-reliant team endorsed by IIT Hyderabad and its alumni. The IIT Hyderabad Research Park promotes the betterment of research and development by the institute through friendship with industry, helping in the advancement of modern ventures, and economic development. The IIT Hyderabad Research Park assists organizations with a research target to set up an infrastructure in the park and take advantage of the expertise available at IIT Hyderabad.
IIT Hyderabad Technology Research Park (TRP), with a total Built-up area of 19,560 square meters, was recently (On 4 February 2022) inaugurated by Srivari Chandrasekhar, secretary, Department of Science & Technology, Government of India (GoI).
Organisation and Administration[edit | edit source]
Governance[edit | edit source]
All IITs follow the same organizational structure, which has President of India at the top of the hierarchy. Directly under the President is the IIT Council. Under the IIT Council is the board of governors of each IIT. Under the board of governors is the director, who is the chief academic and executive officer of the IIT. Under the director, in the organizational structure, comes the deputy director. Under the director and the deputy director come the deans, heads of departments, and registrar; as well as the Student Gymkhana Council elected by the student community, which leads the clubs and cells across the institute.

The postgraduate programs typically last for 2–3 years with 50 credits of coursework. In 2019, the institute started offering M. A. in Development Studies. The institute also offers PhD across all disciplines of engineering, sciences, and Liberal Arts.
Coursework and Fractal Academics[edit | edit source]
Each department offers courses of various levels, for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Core/compulsory courses are floated every alternate semester, along with a basket of electives. Advanced elective courses are open for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as students of other departments, although enrollment may be limited. [citation needed]
IIT Hyderabad uses a Fractal Academic System, involving continuous evaluation of students and more choices on subjects they want to pursue outside their core area.[19] The structure of academics involves students taking courses to fill specific number of credits within Elective Baskets. Courses across UG and PG involve domains such as "Department Electives" where courses are taken from within the prescribed list of courses by the department, "Free Electives" where any courses of the student's choice are taken, mandatory "Liberal Arts"/"Creative Arts" credits where credits have to be taken from the Liberal Arts and/or Creative Arts department. Additional courses such as the NSS/NSO/NCC, and Clean India are required to be taken, as specified to the degree being pursued.[20] Undergraduate students are required to complete 125-130 credits to complete their degree, with additional credits being taken for additions to the degree.
At the institute, every semester, undergraduate students have the option to take courses in Liberal Arts and Creative Arts such macroeconomics, introductory psychology, introduction to the Sanskrit, Japanese, French, or German language, introduction to Carnatic or Western classical music, theater, pottery and ceramics, Indian Classical Dance, and Madhubani painting.[21] Courses offered by industry and professionals are often floated, including Engineering courses such as PCB Design by Renesas Electronics, Creative Arts courses by seasoned artists, and "Empowering 3 billion" by Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, ex-President of India, floated in 2012.
IIT Hyderabad currently offers expansion to the degrees by providing students opportunities to take up additional Minors, Majors and Dual Degree programs. As per the 50th Senate Academic Handbook, Dual Degrees are currently offered for B.Tech. + M.Tech.; B.Tech. + PhD; B.Tech. + M.Tech. (Interdisciplinary & Cross-Disciplinary), B.Des. + M.Des.; and B.Des. + PhD.[20] The structure is permissible to allow ambitious students to take up additional coursework at their desired level of difficulty; for example if a B.Tech./B.Des. student wishes to graduate with a cross-disciplinary exposure, they may pursue a Major in their respective department, while pursuing an Honours in addition to another Major, or Minor, or combinations of both, and then also take up an additional degree.[20]
Admission[edit | edit source]
