IIT Roorkee Partners with Ansys
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has joined forces with Ansys Software Private Limited (Ansys, NASDAQ: ANSS) to empower its students in entrepreneurship through the Capacity Building on Design and Entrepreneurship (CBDE) program, launched by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. This initiative aims to cultivate a culture of design thinking and entrepreneurship across Indian higher education institutions.
CBDE Program: Promoting Design and Entrepreneurship
As part of the CBDE program, Ansys has pledged to provide top-up fellowships, with a preference for female MTech students, to encourage social entrepreneurship. This initiative will equip students with the resources and support needed to create technology-based solutions addressing societal challenges. Such collaborative efforts not only empower these students but also strengthen higher education institutions in fostering a culture of design thinking and entrepreneurship development within their programs.
Highlighting the importance of the Ansys fellowship, Prof. K. K. Pant, Director of IIT Roorkee, said, “These fellowships together with the supportive environment and resources available on campus will inspire our students, especially our female students, to contribute towards technology-driven solutions for societal advancement and thus fulfilling the objectives of Viksit Bharat 2047”
Mike Yeager, Area Vice President, India and Japan, Ansys said, “Ansys provides the required educational resources to empower future engineers. The Ansys Academic Program is committed to lowering the barrier to adopting Ansys simulation for the students. It provides a hands-on simulation experience and bridges the skills gap in the engineering industry and prepares engineering students for complex technologies. We are proud to champion this initiative and look forward to the groundbreaking innovations the upcoming engineers will introduce."
As part of this initiative, the institute recently held a lecture in its corporate lecture series titled "Physics-Based Simulation in Research and Education: Current Practices and Key Initiatives," presented by Dr. Dipankar Choudhury, Ansys Fellow and Academic Program Lead at Ansys. The lecture emphasized the utilization of emerging technologies, including Digital Twins, High-Performance Computing, Machine Learning, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Computational Structural Mechanics, Computational Electromagnetics, and Photonics/Optics, along with other current and developing technologies.
By paying a total tuition fee amount of INR 8 lakh, students have the opportunity to score salary packages up to INR 27.94 LPA (the highest salary package during 2023 placements). Further, the average and median package offered during IIT Roorkee placement process of 2023 stood at INR 18.34 LPA and INR 18.09 LPA. In terms of ROI, the deal looks decent. In addition to this, the college ranks under the top 10 best institutes in the country for Engineering by NIRF 2022. Hence, BTech from IIT Roorkee is a good idea.
