HISTORYThe concept of the IITs was first introduced in a reportin the year 1945 by Shri. N. M. Sircar, then member ofEducation on Vicerory’s Executive Council. Following hisrecommendations, the first Indian Institute of Technologywas established in the year 1950 in Kharagpur. In hisreport, Shri Sircar had suggested that such Institutesshouldalsobestartedindifferentpartsofthecountry.TheGovernment having accepted these recommendations ofthe Sircar Committee decided to establishmore InstitutesofTechnologywiththeassistanceoffriendlycountrieswhowere prepared to help. The first offer of help came fromUSSRwhoagreedtocollaborateintheestablishmentofanInstitutethroughUNESCOatBombay.Thiswasfollowedbythe Institutes of Technology at Madras, Kanpur and Delhi with collaborations with West Germany, USA and UKrespectively. Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati wasestablished in 1995 and the University of Roorkee wasconvertedintoanIITin2001.

The Institute was later declared an Institute of NationalImportanceunderthe“InstitutesofTechnology(Amendment)

Internship and Placement(April1,2016-March31,2017)

Training & Placement

Training & Placement activities are guided by an InstituteLevelCommitteeconsistingofFacultymembersandstudents. The student committees, i.e. Central Committee at theInstitutelevelaswellasNucleusCommitteesatdepartmental level, actively participated in the Training & Placementactivities.

Asinthepast,theTrainingandPlacementUnitcontinuedtoplan, organise and consolidate the Training and Placementactivities for students. It actively interacted with variousindustrial,technical,managementandresearchorganisationsinthecountry.Thedualaimofestablishingthisrapportistoensurethatstudentsaregivenadequatetechnicalexposure/industrial training and subsequently get employment inorganisationswhichmatchtheiraspirationsandobjectives.

As in previous years, web based placement services wereprovidedusingthe internalT&Pserver thisyearaswell.Thestudentsgotall informationon theirdesktopPCs / laptops,they applied on-line, and could see the progress of theirapplication including the final results. The companies toowere issued user name and password for accessing andshort-listingCVsanduploadingtheirpresentationsandfiles.This considerably reduced the conventional pre-placementtalks on the campus. The analysis of the past training andplacement activitieswas presented to the students to helpthem decide their future course of action. Constant liaisonwithindustrieswasmaintainedthroughouttheyeartoensurestudentplacementsacrosssectors.

Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT)(April1,2016-March31,2017)

The Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer(FITT) – an autonomous body, has been in operation as aformal technology transfer organization since 1992 at IITDelhi.Thefoundationismandatedtobeaneffectiveinterfacewiththeindustrytopromoteandsustaincommercializationofscienceandtechnology.Forovertwodecadesnow,FITThas been in amissionmode to formulate innovativewaysto create partnerships and linkageswith business and thecommunitytoenableknowledgetransferforsocietalgoodand economic development. With the active support ofthe academic fraternity, Team FITT has enabled successfuloutreachandextensiveS&Tcollaborationsby/atIITDelhi.

ThemultifariousrolesofFITTinclude:businesspartnerships,technology development, consultancy, collaborative R&D,technology commercialization, development programs,corporatemembershipsetc.TheserolesarenecessitatedbythekeyagendaoftheFoundationtoshowcasetheInstitute’s“intellectual ware” to industry, unlock it’s knowledgebaseand also inculcate industrial relevance in teaching andresearchatIITDelhi.

FITT’sgamutofservicesandactivitiesinclude:

• Research partnership with industry for technologydevelopmentanditscommercialapplications

• TransferoftechnologyrelatingtoprovenR&Doutputs

• IntellectualPropertyManagement

• Innovativeproblemsolvingconsultancywithindustryclients

• Information support service to industry and R&Dorganizations

• Specialistdevelopmentprogrammes

• CorporatemembershipofFITT

• Facilitate funding for the development of innovativeideasofcommercialimplications

FITT is a DSIR approved Scientific and Industrial ResearchOrganization (SIRO) by virtue of its charter to implement, inter-alia, industrial R&D projects. During FY 2016-17, 52technology development / transfer projects worth Rs.1602lakhhavebeencontractedatFITT.

FITT manages the Institute’s IPs and IPRs. During thelast financial year 62 IPs were filed and 3 licensing dealswere closed. To augment its outreach and technologycommercialization efforts, FITT engages with specialist

outside agencies. Besides enabling regular industryacademiameetings,FITTorganizedanumberofvisitsbyIITDelhifacultytoindustrialunitsinordertoassesstheirR&Dneedssoastoinitiateindustry-relevantR&DprogramsattheInstitute. FITThasbeen instrumental inorganisingseveralvisits by overseas companies and delegations enablingdialogue between the visiting delegates and academiccommunityoftheinstitute.

AttheInstitute,theProfessionalCandidateRegistration(PCR)programhasbeenadoptedtowardsextendingtheacademiccoursesat the Instituteamongst the targeted segmentsofindustry, research and academic establishments. Throughthis unique program, suitably qualified professionals canundertakerelevantsemester-longcoursemoduleshereatIITDelhitoaugmenttheirknowledgebaseandskillset.Duringthe academic year 2016-17, 82 candidates participated inthisprogram.

Over the last several years FITT has been strengtheningthe techno-entrepreneurship activities on the campus.It enabled the establishment and operation of thrivingincubatorsonthecampus-TechnologyBusinessIncubationUnit (TBIU) andBiotechnologyBusiness IncubationFacility(BBIF). The TBIU is a flagship institute program designedprimarily to promote partnership with new technologyentrepreneursandstart-upcompanies,andalso serveasamediumoftechnologytransfer.11companiesarepresentlyresidentattheTBIUand6intheBBIF.FITTprovidesco-shareequipment facility to bio-tech start-ups. These companiesareworkinginthetechnologydomainsofIT,Biotechnology,Engineering design, Cleantech etc. Out of 68 companiesadmitted so far in the incubator since its inception in theyear 2000, 26 companies have started their up-scaling /commercial operation after completing their incubation attheInstituteandarereportedtobegrowingatasteadypace

FITT has been at the forefront in managing severalinnovationandentrepreneurshipprograms in the country.As a nodal agency in several Government schemes, FITTadministersprogramsof -TheMinistryofMicro,SmallandMediumEnterprises (MSME) forpromotingandsupportinginnovationamongstmicroandsmallenterprisesleveragingthe knowledge resources at IIT Delhi; Department ofElectronicandInformationTechnology(DietY)seedsupportin the broad area of ICT is also forthcoming under the“TechnologyIncubationandDevelopmentofEntrepreneurs”(TIDE) scheme; Technology Development Board (TDB)’sscheme for the specific purpose of providing early stagefinancialsupporttostart-upunitsincubatedatIITDelhi’sTBIUand a Partner of BIRAC (DBT) towards implementing theirBiotechnology Ignition Grant (BIG) scheme in the country.

FITThasalsopartneredwithPfizer for the implementationof the Pfizer IIT Delhi Innovation and IP Program, therebyprovidingsupportofuptoRs.50 lakhstohealthcarebasedinnovators/ start-ups for incubation and Rs. 3 lakhs for IPprotection.Asapartof theCSR initiativesofPOSOCOandEricsson, FITT has implemented innovation/ incubationsupportprograms.OnbehalfofIITDelhi,FITThasbeenleadimplementingpartnerofTheMinistryofSkillDevelopmentand Entrepreneurship (MoSDE) in their newly institutedNational EntrepreneurshipAwards (NEAS) to recognise theeffortsandachievementsofexceptionalentrepreneursandthoseindividualsandorganisationswhoareworkinginthefieldofentrepreneurshipdevelopment.

Towards women empowerment, FITT has promoted theWomenEntrepreneurshipandEmpowerment(WEEprogramat IIT Delhi. The program took off from 1st October 2016.During its 1st phase, 40 women were shortlisted afterscreening over 2000 applications that were received.WEEMentorshipClasseswereconductedduringtheweekendatIITDelhiwiththeglobalindustryexpert.

FITT has corporate members representing small/medium/large scale industrial and R&D units. Corporate membersreceive preferential treatment in matters of collaborationwith the Institute in addition to information and technicalservicesthatFITTprovides.
