IITD team to visit Abu Dhabi to discuss plan for first campus in UAE
The team’s visit was finalised on the sidelines of a two-day event of all 23 IITs in India to commemorate the 75th year of India’s Independence.
A high-level team of faculty members of the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) is all set to visit Abu Dhabi this month to discuss plan for first IIT campus in United Arab Emirates (UAE). According to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), the team’s visit was finalised on the sidelines of a two-day event of all 23 IITs in India to commemorate the 75th year of India’s Independence.
Minister for Education and Skill Development, Dharmendra Pradhan, spoke about future plans for IITs at the event. “Technology will drive the next phase of growth and development with information technology and communications technology among the front-runners. Our IITs should seize this opportunity,” he said.
As part of the India-UAE trade deal signed on February 18, 2022, India announced to set up the first IIT in the UAE. Since then, the two sides have been in contact to come up with measures to follow up on the proposal. IIT Delhi has a small team stationed in the Abu Dhabi map to implement the proposal.

In the NIRF rankings, it has been ranked at the second spot under the "Engineering" category. Candidates get good placement opportunities. The highest international and domestic package offered was INR 2 crore per annum and INR 1.25 crore per annum. In IIT Delhi placements, 50 students received package more than INR 1 crore per annum (domestic). Thus, it is great if a candidate gets admission at IIT Delhi.
First IIT to be established out of India
This will be the first time an IIT will be established outside of the country. Teams from the UAE were in New Delhi this month to study the model followed by IIT Delhi while also holding talks with teachers and students. IIT Madras Director Prof V Kamakoti said overseas expansion of IITs has been put on the “fast track” and hopes to open the Abu Dhabi campus along with the ones in Malaysia and Tanzania within one year.
