1 INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY HYDERABAD 1. Institute Inventions and innovations are key words on which the foundation of IIT Hyderabad is based. These are also key drivers for the vision of IIT Hyderabad. Our endeavor is to create an institute that will provide a space for free and uninhibited thinking, a space where faculty and students can experiment with novel ideas without the fear of failure. It is our firm belief that such an ambience will foster highest level of research: blue sky research as well as developmental research leading to proof of concepts and prototypes. IIT Hyderabad started its academic programmes in 2008 with student strength of 111 in three branches of B.Tech. viz. Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. In January 2009, IITH admitted 11 Ph.D. students. On Feb 27, 2009, the foundation stone of IIT Hyderabad was laid by Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Hon ble Chairperson of UPA. Today, IITH has 12 departments with enrollment of 781 students pursuing studies in various programmes viz. B.Tech (485), M.Sc. (27), M.Tech. (123), and Ph.D.(146). In August 2012, the Institute will be offering B.Tech. Programmes in CSE, EE, ME, CHE, CE and Engineering Science (6 departments), M.Tech. Programmes in 8 departments, Ph.D. in 12 departments. IITH will also offer M.Phil. Programme in Liberal Arts department during academic year The Institute has current Faculty strength of 91. IITH has active collaboration with Japan. This involves joint research projects, exchange of faculty and students, and in future some infrastructure development on the main campus. In its endeavor to have global collaborations IITH has MoUs with University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign and Georgia Institute of Technology - Atlanta. We are in the process of signing MoUs with several other universities in US and Japan. JENESYS (Japan - East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths), is a government of Japan initiative, with an aim to deepen the mutual understanding among the youth of the East Asian countries who will be the leaders of the next generation. As part of the collaboration with the Japanese Government and IIT Hyderabad, the University of Tokyo in association with Mori Seki Company Limited, Japan, offered the prestigious TODAI Scholarships to undergraduate students of IIT Hyderabad. As part of the agreement, in this academic year , 09, ten IITH students who joined the Institute in August 2008 received these scholarships (each of about Rs.1, 00,000). As a special gesture, the ten scholarships will continue for this FIRST batch of undergraduate students, throughout hout their four years of the BTech program. The mission of IIT Hyderabad's Student Activities Program is to complement the Institute's academic programs and to enhance the overall educational experiences of students through

2 development of, exposure to, and participation in social, multicultural, intellectual, recreational, and other leadership activities. IIT Hyderabad will always strive to offer an innovative environment to realize the dreams of its faculty and students for higher knowledge, dreams for scientific discovery, and for technology creation. To be recognized as iterators and leaders in higher education and research, and to develop human power with creativity, technology and passion for the betterment of India and humankind. 2. M. SC.

(Chemistry): The Department of Chemistry is actively conducting research in cutting-edge areas of Organic, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry, as well as fulfilling the needs of the undergraduate program of IIT Hyderabad. At present, there are twenty six research scholars in the department, pursuing PhD, and twelve students who are enrolled in the two year MSc program; they are mentored by eight faculty members. Our first batch of MSc students graduated in The department also has several sponsored projects in diverse areas of Chemistry. The Department, has state of the art research facilities that include, a 400 MHz NMR, a BET analyser, TOC- & CHN- analysers, UV-Visible, FTIR, Fluorescence/lifetime and Raman spectrometers, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Atomic Force Microscopy (with conductive, electrostatic force, magnetic force, surface potential, nanolithography modes), Differential Thermal Analysis & Thermo Gravimetric Analysis, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer, HPLC, Glove Boxes, Photocatalytic Reactor, Chemisorption Apparatus, Microwave Synthesizer, Spectroelectrochemical Workstation, High Temperature Furnaces and many such sophisticated set-ups. The department is also equipped with necessary infrastructure, for carrying out wet chemical syntheses or related experimentation, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. The curriculum of the M.Sc. Chemistry program includes a mix of core courses and elective courses in advanced subjects. The courses have been drafted in such a manner, that

3 they imbibe the best of fundamental and advanced areas of chemistry. M.Sc. students have laboratory courses in Organic, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry in the first two semesters. In third and fourth semesters, the MSc students will undertake mandatory research project, and they will be exposed to latest instrumentation methods and synthetic approaches, which will enable them to adapt to any innovative research or educational program with considerable ease and dexterity. Our aim is to produce highly sought after and knowledgeable graduates for pursuing careers with academia, industry and government. 4.2 M.Sc. (Physics): The Department of Physics currently has six faculty members. Two more members are expected to join by the end of At present, the department offers a 4 semester M. Sc course in Physics and has vibrant Ph. D program. Currently the active research areas of the department include theoretical and experimental research in Condensed Matter Physics, Particle Physics, Statistical Mechanics, Bio-Physics. Computational Material Science, Superconductivity, Functional Materials, MEMS, Sensors, Flavour Physics, Astro-Particle Physics, Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics are some of the areas of expertise available at the Department. Though young the department already has a fully functional Advanced Functional Materials Laboratory (AFML) and MEMS & Micro-Nanosystem Laboratory (MMNL), apart from excellent Laboratories for B. Tech and M. Sc. Physics (for both teaching and research). Currently there are 5 students pursuing their Ph.D. degree in different areas. The Department s vision is to have active research groups in all the fundamental, applied and inter-disciplinary research areas in Physics and have a teaching program with significant research component. 4.3 M.Sc. (Mathematics): The Department of Mathematics at IITH proposes to start its Master's programme from July The department aims to foster in mathematical education and research, eclectism and excellence, well poised between abstraction and application. In the recent past the need for a rigorous mathematical basis and analysis for many of the algorithms and proposed solutions in varied fields like cloud computing, search algorithms, data base technologies to Bio-inspired computing and Gene-expression mapping has become increasingly clear. In line with this, we offer two streams of specialization, viz., Mathematics and Applied Maths and Computing. The course content and structure of the programme are so designed as to ensure that while the emphasis remains on fundamental mathematics, an underlying current about their applicability is also kept alive, thus opening up vistas to the students both in the academia and industry. Further, the inherent flexibility in the structure allows a student to choose from the different baskets of electives available in tune with his/her possibly time-varying interests. 5.ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: 5.1 M.Sc.
