IIT Hyderabad
The Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT Hyderabad or IITH) is a public technical university located in Kandi near the Sangareddy district in the Indian state of Telangana. As with all Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), IIT Hyderabad is an Institute of National Importance. It is also an Institute of Eminence. IITH was founded in 2008 and is one of the fastest-growing institutes of higher education in India.
IIT Hyderabad was established by the Ministry of Education, Government of India under the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 2011. The Act was passed in the Lok Sabha on 24 March 2011 and by the Rajya Sabha on 30 April 2012. It was set up in technical and financial assistance from Government of Japan.
IIT Hyderabad began functioning on 18 August 2008 from a temporary campus in Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited, with Prof. U. B. Desai as the founding director. In July 2015, it moved to its ~600-acre permanent campus at Kandi, Sangareddy. At present, Prof B S Murty is the Director of IIT Hyderabad. It is close to the outer ring road and located on NH-65.
The IITH campus is on a land area of 576 acres (234 ha). IIT Hyderabad is around 15 km from the Outer Ring Road and is very accessible using both private and public transport. The academic building is designed by New Delhi-based ARCOP, and hostels, Lecture Hall, and academic departments by Pune-based acclaimed American architect Prof. Christopher Charles Benninger. This organic campus is divided into clusters of buildings being completed in phases starting in 2011. The campus is one of India's best examples of energy efficient, carbon neutral and sustainable architecture. The design grew out of local weather conditions and utmost care to enhance learning. The graduate and post-graduate programs are separated, student and teacher housing is divided, and girls' and boys' hostels are segregated for a pluralistic environment.
The 25 lakh square feet of buildings in Phase 1A; 3 academic blocks and 10 functioning hostel buildings (each with a capacity of 200) were completed in March 2019.
Most dorm rooms at IIT Hyderabad are traditional one-person rooms, with some two-person rooms. Most students reside in the twenty-three hostel buildings on campus. Six out of the 23 hostel buildings accommodate female students exclusively. Dining facilities are located in centralized halls. Students are assigned specific rooms at the time of admission where they will live, usually for the remainder of their stay at the institute. First-year undergraduate students are usually allotted double sharing rooms; while the other students receive single-occupancy rooms. Students are provided with complimentary high-speed fiber optic internet for academic and personal purposes. Radiant cooled rooms adds to the comfort.
IIT Hyderabad Research Park
In 2018, the Government of India sanctioned a Research Park to some IITs in which IIT Hyderabad got its place. IIT Hyderabad Research Park is a self-reliant team endorsed by IIT Hyderabad and its alumni. The IIT Hyderabad Research Park promotes the betterment of research and development by the institute through friendship with industry, helping in the advancement of modern ventures, and economic development. The IIT Hyderabad Research Park assists organizations with a research target to set up an infrastructure in the park and take advantage of the expertise available at IIT Hyderabad.
