IIITDM Kancheepuram is an Institute of National Importance and one of the five IIITs funded by the Ministry of Education started with a vision to become a premier institute of excellence in design and manufacturing that would create and develop a new generation of engineers and technologists with the ability and mindset to lead Indian industries in a globally competitive economic environment. IIITDM Kancheepuram is one of the first institutes in India to integrate design, business, humanities, and management courses in its dynamic undergraduate engineering curriculum. The pedagogy of problem-based-learning and the method of learning-by-doing mould the young engineers to appreciate and answer complex problems with the aptitude of a designer. What distinguishes IIITDM Kancheepuram is the strong design spine of its undergraduate curriculum. Our engineers are designers who are trained to be product developers. The pillars of the Institute are its five departments – Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Science and Humanities, and the School of Interdisciplinary Design and Innovation – and these departments offer UG, PG, Dual Degree, and Ph. D. programmes.
We offer 4-Year B Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering with Major in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Electronics and Communication Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, Smart Manufacturing and M. Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering with Specialization in Microelectronics and VLSI Systems, Electronics and Communication Engineering with Specialization in Communication Systems Design, Mechanical Engineering with Specialization in Mechanical Systems Design and Mechanical Engineering with Specialization in Smart Manufacturing. We also offer M Des in Interdisciplinary product design and inter-disciplinary PhD programmes in core and applied areas of engineering.
The faculty members of the Institute are also involved in sponsored and consultancy research projects from reputed industries and government organizations. we have received 4.39 crore rupees as sponsored research grants taking our total funding for research and consultancy to 42 crores. This year, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has received FIST grant in addition to the dept. of ECE which had received last year. We have filed 22 patents this year and published about 280 papers in SCI Journals and International Conferences.
Students from various technical clubs of the Institute have performed remarkably well in national and international events. Mars Rover Team – Team Shunya 2022 has secured the second rank globally and first rank in India in the qualifying round A of the European Rover Challenge. The SAE club built an all-terrain vehicle and participated in the M-Baja international competition organized by SAE INDIA at Pithampur, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, as one of the top 60 teams after clearing two rounds of eliminations starting with 240 teams.
The Institute has signed an MoU with Saint-Gobain India to award merit scholarships to girl students pursuing B. Tech program at our Institute. Through the scholarship, Saint-Gobain India has committed to donating 2.29 crore rupees to support the education of 40 girl students over a period of 8 years. This will encourage aspiring girl students from underprivileged backgrounds to pursue Engineering in our Institute thereby transforming them into capable professionals in the design and manufacturing industries.
