The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and LG Electronics have embarked on a strategic partnership focused on advancing research and innovation in sustainable home appliance technologies. This collaboration was formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at IIT Delhi. By combining IIT Delhi’s strong academic research capabilities with LG Electronics’ industry-leading expertise and technological innovation, the partnership aims to develop cutting-edge, eco-friendly solutions that address the evolving challenges of sustainable living and energy efficiency in modern homes.

Through this alliance, both institutions seek to foster collaborative innovation, accelerate the development of environmentally responsible technologies, and contribute significantly to building a greener, more sustainable future for households globally. The MoU signing ceremony was held in the presence of Prof. Rangan Banerjee, Director, IIT Delhi, and Hyun Uk Lee, Executive Vice President from the R&D Center of LG Home Appliance Solution Company.

This partnership will focus on joint research projects, co-development of technologies, and the exchange of knowledge in areas such as smart appliances, energy-efficient solutions, and customer-focused product Concept. As part of the collaboration, researchers at IIT Delhi showcased ongoing and proposed projects that align with LG’s vision for sustainable innovation. The visiting LG delegation also toured select research laboratories at the Institute, identifying key areas of synergy and exploring opportunities for deeper, long-term collaboration in sustainable technology development.

“We are excited to partner with one of India’s premier institutes,” said Hyun Uk Lee, Executive Vice President of LG Electronics. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to fostering open innovation and developing future-ready technologies that align with our vision for a more sustainable and connected living experience.”

Q:   Which college is better for B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering: IIT Delhi or IIT Bombay?
A:

The course outline of mechanical in IIT Delhi or IIT Bombay is similar and is quite well aligned with the course structure of top ranked international universities and the mechanical is one of the most desired and demanded branches in the IITs. The universities stand on similar QS ranking level and the facility and quality of infrastructure on average is almost the same in both the campuses, IITB has a lake, a pretty larger campus than that of IITD whereas IITD stands in a very desired location of Delhi ( in Hauz Khas) which stands very close to the international airport and various railway stations and is comparatively very green and clean than the outer Delhi. The trends of placement or students going for further studies differ very less and if you are really relying on placements to be a deciding factor, you'll still be in doubt. If we look at the opening and closing ranks of the department in both the colleges, the mechanical in IITB opens before it starts at IITD and also closes some numbers before, but the range is quite same. Many people choose IITB for its past trend or some local variables and similarly people also choose IITD if they aspire to go for civil services as Delhi is the hub for the preparation for UPSC and other civil services and again the accessibility of the nearby regions. I'd say both of the campus stand on the same level if the department is considered, the selection is totally depend on the individual depending on the local variables that affects him/her.

Q:   I am getting IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay for Chemical and IIT Gandhinagar for CSE. What should I opt for?
A:

The JEE Advanced cutoff for 2025 has been released for Round 1. For IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay, the first-round cutoff ranks for Chemical Engineering were 2425 and 2405, respectively, for candidates in the General AI category. For IIT Gandhinagar, the cutoff rank stood at 1872 for CSE admission. Therefore, to answer your question, IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay are always excellent options for pursuing an Engineering degree, regardless of the branch you are considering. The brand value, ranking, academics, and placements are all relatively high at IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay. However, it is worth noting that IIT Gandhinagar is new but also possesses good faculty and academic programmes. CSE, on the other hand, offers better placement prospects and global opportunities. It is the most popular branch among Engineering aspirants. Thus, it depends on which branch of study you are interested in.
