IIIT Guwahati

I am now involved with the admin of a new institute: Indian Institute of Information Technology Guwahati (IIITG). This is one of the 20 IIITs being set up by the Govt. of India in public-private partnership (PPP) mode. For  IIITG, MHRD has 57.5% stake, Assam Govt 35% and six industry partners the remaning 7.5%.  Prominent among the industry partners is TCS.
An advertisement for faculty in CSE, ECE, Maths, Economics, and English Language Teaching has been issued. Please visit the institute's website (www.iiitg.ac.in) for more information on how to apply and also on the institute itself.
The campus will come up next to a proposed IT park. It is hoped that the two together will give a boost to the IT industry in Guwahati, which is in its nascent stage currently.
