Our quest is to become a defining technological university of
the twenty-first century. This quest includes a twin track
strategy of offering a wide range of outstanding academic
programmes, infusing them with a unique technological
perspective that increases their relevance in today's world,
together with a campus-wide effort to build an academic infrastructure, administrative and support equal to
that task while emphasizing human values that lie at the core of
our educational mission for the University.
As the pace of innovation accelerates and the global economic
playing field grows more level, universities will be
increasingly called to go beyond providing high-quality
classroom and lab experiences to the more open-ended enterprise
of teaching students to adapt to a lifetime of creativity and
innovation.
I am aware that excellence in higher education cannot simply
be achieved and held. It is a process, a mode of thinking, and
an ongoing exercise in planning and improvement. We shall seek
excellence to preserve the standing of this institution and to
serve better the people of India and beyond who come here to
teach and learn.
We start our new dreams as an infant, yet the future will be
an exciting ride. Look to the pages of this website for our
progress as we position this University as a university for the
future. And I want to make sure that all of you are a part of
that process of evolution.
