Welcome to the Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology (VIIT). It is my pleasure to introduce you to our research activities at the Institute. VIIT has strong engineering research programs in the discipline of core and circuit branches of engineering, with substantial experience in training undergraduate and postgraduate students with most of the faculty with a research and development mindset, who believe in strong research for better academics.
VIIT envisioned excellence in technical education where academics, research, and industry partnerships go together and are an integral part to make competent engineers with technical skills of the highest standards. To promote research and make it a culture, the institute supports through seed funding for research, allows and promotes semester-long internships, rewards for publication in refereed journals and conferences, and supports IPR protection through mentoring and financial support. It also supports faculty members financially to gain the highest qualifications. Research and VIIT have crossed the boundaries and entered societal domains through the establishment of technology research centres for Agriculture, life sciences, and sustainable development.
Growth of the institute in terms of faculty achievements in terms of faculty qualifications, publication of papers and IPRs, receipt of grants for projects and consultancies, and participation of faculty and students in conferences and other research activities is a result of policies and initiatives by the leaders at times and efforts by the faculty and students at UG and PG programs. UG students demonstrated their capabilities through different hackathons and other research competitions and projects, Robocon and SUPRA-BAHA, etc.
VIIT is an autonomous doctoral research centre with 125+ active doctoral students, working in different areas of engineering research under the able guidance of 30+ guides within the institutes, we do encourage collaborative research and facilitate members from other institutes as adjunct guides.
