Message from the Director:
The world has radically changed over the last two years as we collectively tried to fight through a global pandemic. In this brave new world, one is increasingly convinced that such existential challenges to the future of humanity can only be ameliorated through innovations in basic sciences and their rapid translation to sustainable technology. Furthermore, there is an urgent need to train the next generation of leaders, technocrats and scientists who are not only technically skilled but morally attuned to identify and solve problems that would take the nation forward. IIIT, Allahabad has always been uniquely poised to tackle these challenges head-on and augments its position to strengthen in future. The institute is therefore a confluence of three distinct threads of academic activity: teaching, research and innovation.
The strengths and characteristics of the institute are serendipitously aligned with the vision laid out by the National Education Policy 2020 and will reflect in coming academic programs. Therefore, it is unquestionable that IIIT Allahabad community will continue to be at the vanguard of education and research in the ever evolving world.
I wish the faculty, students and staff all the very best on this ever-upward journey!
