Tuesday, October 25, 2011: If you are keen to know what researches are being done at Indian Institute Of Technology (IITs), this one is for you. Students of the IITs are working to collect the details of their research and make it available through a common website for all the institutes. The website is likely to be launched which the students plan to launch by the end of November.
This was a conclusion derived out of a two-day long summit of IIT students called 'Inter-IIT Gymkhana Summit 2011' which began at IIT-Gandhinagar (IIT-GN) on Saturday. Students from all IITs discussed issues which were affecting them in common. The summit was attended by student representatives from 10 IITs including IIT Gandhinagar, Guwahati, Rajasthan, Mandi, Ropar, Indore, Madras and Hyderabad. IIT Kanpur and Bombay joined the sessions online.
According to a TOI report, the students emphasised on how they could share research works of students of B Tech, M Tech and PhD students. The argument was that the students are unaware of past researches, they often repeat the same research. If all the past researches are available online, this repetition can be avoided.
The report quoted Kalyan Surapanani, an IIT alumnus, saying, “Students can take forward researches undertaken by other students and carry it forward towards advanced stages. A rich database of a wide range of research could also become a very useful learning resource.”
