Through this collaboration, IIT Delhi and Roinet will work together to create innovative, data-driven solutions that promote financial inclusion and empower individuals and enterprises with improved access to essential financial resources.
Leveraging IIT Delhi’s expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning, Roinet will develop and implement AI-driven innovations to enhance financial accessibility.

To drive these research initiatives, Roinet will contribute to product conceptualization, infrastructure, financial support, and go-to-market strategies, facilitating a seamless transition from research to real-world deployment. Additionally, students involved in these projects will benefit from stipends, mentorship, and potential long-term career opportunities, further strengthening industry-academia collaboration. All innovations developed through this partnership will be co-owned by IIT Delhi and Roinet, underscoring their shared commitment to advancing deep-tech solutions in financial services.
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.
