About IITM

In July 1956, the Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, West German President Theodor Heuss and German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer issued a joint communiqué announcing the set up of a ‘technical teaching institution’ in India, and Madras, now Chennai, was chosen as the location and home for a new Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). The Madras State Government offered an area of about 632 acres with an abundance of woods, lakes, and land.

On 7th August 1958, an Indo-German agreement was signed to establish IIT Madras (IITM). Twenty German professors, specialists, and five foremen were deputed to this task. German scientific and technical equipment, including training in specialised fields for 20 Indian teachers at German technical universities, were also arranged.

The Government of India commenced activities at the Institute from the academic year 1959-1960. On 20th July 1959, the first batch of students, 120 in number, were admitted, and IIT Madras was formally inaugurated on 31st July.

Chennai, home of IIT Madras, is the fourth largest city of India and the state capital of Tamil Nadu, a southern state in the country. The city, about 350 years old (1639), was formerly known as Madras and later renamed Chennai, which evolved from an old name ‘Chennapattanam’. Chennai is a coastal city and boasts the second largest beach in the world. The climate is generally hot and humid. In summer (May-July), the temperature reaches up to 42° C (107° F), while in winter (Dec-Feb) it is about 18° C (64° F). The monsoon season starts in September and lasts till November.

IIT Madras has over the years grown to become a comprehensive centre for technological education and basic and applied research in India, with nearly 100 laboratories organized in a unique pattern of functioning, a faculty of international repute, a brilliant student community, excellent technical support staff, and an effective administration-all of which contribute to its pre-eminent status. IIT Madras is recognized world-wide for its intellectual leadership and on-going innovation across every major discipline of engineering and pure science. IITM also boasts a global alumni diaspora second to none in terms of its accomplishments.

IITM is a residential institute with more than 590 faculty, 9500 students, and 576 administrative and support staff. Students from 18 countries are enrolled here. The campus is self-contained and is located on a beautiful wooded area of about 250 hectares.

Fast Facts 2019 7

It is home to approximately 300 species of trees and plants with quite a large number of native wild ones, which are unique to the tropical, dry, evergreen vegetation. The faunal diversity includes monkeys, blackbuck, spotted deer, black naped hare, and monitor lizard among others.

The Institute has 16 academic departments and several advanced interdisciplinary

research centres.

IITM has been ranked No.1 in the Overall Institutions category in India Rankings 2019 released by National Institutional Ranking Framework, Ministry of Human Resources Development, Govt. of India. The Institute has also been ranked No.1 in the Engineering Institutions category in the same Rankings for four consecutive years-2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. It was also adjudged as the ‘Top innovative Institution’ in the country in the Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements (ARIIA) 2019 launched by Innovation Cell of MHRD.

Innovation at IITM

Facilitating The Creative Spirit

The Centre For Innovation, a 24x7 ‘student lab’, was established in 2008 with funds donated by the

batch of 1981. It was set up with a vision to encourage engineers to apply knowledge from their

academic pursuits to ‘innovate’ and propose solutions to real-world problems. CFI serves as a creative

hub - encouraging peer learning and providing a platform for ideas to manifest with the support of

resources, workspace and mentoring.

Ten years since its inception, today CFI has a well organized structure consisting of 12 clubs and 4

competition teams, with over 400 students being involved in activities over the year. The primary

interest of these clubs fall on a broad spectrum, and members of the clubs strive to make a positive

impact through projects supported by CFI. Multiple projects in CFI have been patented and also

recognized at the national level and international level with achievements such as the GYTI award,

James Dyson Award and many more. . CFI stands strong in its motto “Walk in with an idea and Walk

out with a product”.

To strengthen the innovation ecosystem within the campus, CFI ensures that a pipeline of potential

incubatees is created through a programme called “Nirmaan”, which seeks out students with ideas

that have commercial potential and puts them through a one-year programme to refine the ideas,

develop products, and formulate business plans.

Since its inception, CFI has augmented the ‘tech’ space in the institute wherein projects from CFI

have gone on to produce high-profile start-ups and internationally acclaimed competition teams. Driven

by passion and fueled by enthusiasm, CFI aims to kindle the spirit of inquiry and foster the spirit of

engineering, not just in IITM - but also in other institutes via mentorship.
