IIT Punjab to start from its new campus
The Indian Institute of Technology Punjab (IIT-RPR) will start functioning from its new campus on August 20, after a year of parenting at the IIT Delhi (IIT-D).
The institute will function with last year’s batch and the new batch of around 240 students in three disciplines from Roopnagar (formerly Ropar), around 60 km from Chandigarh.
“The institute will start operation with 11 teachers and around 15 professors of IIT-D will continue to help them in taking classes,” IIT-D Director Surendra Prasad said on Friday.
He said though the institute is starting out of a polytechnic building, the facilities are not bad.
