To attract foreign students and faculty to its campus, IIT Delhi Wednesday organised a summit meeting on “Globalization of IIT Delhi: New Opportunities for Higher Studies in India”.
Three foreign faculty members have also been recruited from South Korea, China and Ireland in three different departments, said IIT-D Director V Ramgopal Rao.
“Cultural diversity is very important for any higher educational institution. This is one thing which is missing in leading Indian institutions. IIT Delhi has taken steps to address this issue,” said Rao.
We wish to produce students who develop a global outlook and become global players in their chosen field of work. Creativity also happens when unlike minds interact with each other. Our target is to have at least 10% foreign students in our PhD programmes and make them work on technology platforms that can serve global needs.”
