Indian Institute of Technology Goa was established in 2016 by the Ministry of Human Resource and Development (GoI) as an institute of national importance. It started functioning on 30th July 2016 with an intake of 85 B.Tech. students in three disciplines namely Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Electrical Engineering (EE) and Mechanical Engineering (ME).

Currently functioning from its temporary campus at GEC Farma-gudi, the institute aims to become an unique institution of higher learning, offering state of the art education, research, and provid-ing an environment of free thoughts to have impact on society, environment and global challenges.

In its functioning of just 4 years the institute has seen immense growth in terms of faculty recruitment by recruiting young and dynamic faculty members, institute collaboration by signing MoUs with French Universities in 2019, academics by starting a new branch of Mathematics and Computing and offering M.Tech. pro-grammes in 2019, student all round growth and development with the launch of its very first Techno-Cultural Fest “CultRang” and in terms of infrastructure by setting up new hostel, academic block which houses labs for various departments and all new Nanoparti-cles Lab and will keep expanding in the future along with develop-ment of its permanent campus at Sattari.

The overall environment at the institute is highly conducive and encouraging in terms of both academics and co-curriculars which always motivates its members to work with their full potential and keep stretching it without the fear of failure.

������������Situated on a mountain top, IIT Goa not only exhibits a picturesque view of the sprawling green valleys around but also offers a host of other advantages.

The low student-faculty ratio of 8 enables students of our institute and teachers work one-on-one, which leads to enhanced knowl-edge transfer. Moreover, students are able to connect closely with their peers and are more confident in sharing their ideas and per-spectives with teachers.

At IIT Goa, faculty members conduct research on a broad spectrum of scientific fields. Two centers of research and development [Cen-ter of Excellence in Particulates, Colloids and Interfaces and Center for Appropriate Technology for Rural Sectors (CATeRS)] established at IIT Goa provide exposure of cutting-edge research areas even to the undergraduate students. This fosters independent critical thinking skills, in addition to the sound academic foundation.

A unique system of a long-term internship has been recently intro-duced in IIT Goa’s B.Tech. curriculum. Students can take up chal-lenging internships in industries, academic, or research institutes during their 7th semester, lasting from mid-May to mid-November. Such internships make our students industry-ready.

Beyond academics, IIT Goa has a vibrant extra-curricular culture with various clubs & committees, and 95% of our students partici-pate in sports, arts and cultural activities. Apart from providing an essential break from academic rigor, it is the domain of extra-cur-ricular activities that is frequently credited for the creation of profi-cient leaders.

IIT Goa was established in July 2016 and very soon, we are going to complete four years of our existence. This is a major milestone as our first batch of students will graduate. These students will soon be experiencing the real world. In these four years, they have gained ample exposure to their branch of choice and got trained to build the requisite skills that would help in their placements and career development—skills like interpersonal communication, report writing, public speaking, organizing and participating in hackathons, etc. Overall, our students are properly nurtured to reach their true potential.

IIT Goa has introduced a six-months internship program to pro-vide an opportunity for our students to explore their professional interests. This way, our students will be better positioned to know their career inclinations while connecting with the real world.

I am extremely proud of the placement team for their relentless efforts in bringing attention from at least 100 companies. In a short span of about a year or so, they rolled out a system to reach out to different companies, organize interviews, develop a website, and now this brochure, to help our future students. Apart from these activities, they have scheduled a longlist of programmes to make IIT Goa the most preferred destination for future recruiters.

Clearly, COVID-19 is changing the working landscape. While engi-neering, designing, and building infrastructure will always remain important, software and automation skills are becoming even more in demand. This change has been creating new opportuni-ties. IIT Goa is realizing the challenges and opportunities that this pandemic has posed. As far as future placement goes, we are orienting our curriculum and academic programmes to offer those additional skillsets to our students that will be needed in a post-pandemic world. I cordially invite companies within India and abroad for campus placement and internships for our students.
