The main aim is to create quality competition to attract the best of students. They want to invite not just the minds, but also the hearts of the students.

There are various additions and changes that have been made this year, foremost being the introduction of an interview process for management programmes.

This year onwards they will be accepting CET scores followed by a personal interview, which will carry a weightage of around 25%. The university is also launching three postgraduate programmes:

• MTech in Food Processing Technology
• PG diploma in Radiological Physics (in collaboration with AIIMS and Safdarjung)
• PG diploma in Education Management.

The admissions are on for the above mentioned programmes, for further information you can check http://www.ipu.ac.in/ for more details. Also, the varsity plans to start a centre for the study and propagation of human values.

About the Centre for the Study and Propagation 

It was felt that in our professional courses, a lot of emphasis was given on skill and knowledge without paying much attention to the development of the moral fabric of the student. So, it was prudent for us to establish a centre that can help in propagation of human values. However, the centre will not operate in a conventional mode, offering credit courses. It will provide an environment conducive to research, with seminars, discussions and talks for students who will have to attend these sessions and submit a project report at the end of the year. They are still finalising the modalities for the Centre, which is being inaugurated on April 13 at Dwarka.

The proposal to convert IGIT into a deemed university has been approved by the cabinet. My personal expectation is that the status should be conferred on the institute in the monsoon session of Parliament.

More than 50% of their students are girls and the representation and performance are laudable.

Not just girls, but all meritorious students are encouraged to put in their best at the university. In case a meritorious student can’t afford higher education due to adverse economic conditions, s/he can approach them.

In 2012 they are planning to forge collaborations with universities and institutions in Italy, France, UK and others.

Most of these collaborations are in the area of science and its application.

Other than that, they have some very good tie-ups with Korea, Japan and Russia for engineering students.

Currently, there are 106 affiliated colleges with more than 65,000 students. They are making the affiliation process very strict this year onwards.

They also provide advisory notes to colleges to help them advance. However, in the past two years, there have been instances where we have de-affiliated institutions.
