The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT),
Guwahati, has retained the seventh position among the top engineering
institutions of the country in the HRD initiated NIRF 2018.
The Institute was placed 12th in the overall ranking,
according to a release issued by it today.
"We are 7th in engineering in the country. Our performances in Engineering
and Sciences are good. In order to move forward we require to work more on
inter-disciplinary emerging areas", IIT (G) Director Gautam Biswas said.
There is a need to minimise the gap between Science and
Engineering so that "we can go up in the 'Overall Category' too. For that
we require to pay more attention in some related areas pertaining to management
sciences," he said.
"The culture of management and soft skills enhances
employment and entrepreneurial scopes for the students. Such parameters help in
advancing the overall rank of the Institute," the director added.
