IIT Hyderabad is part of history in the making. We, the faculty,
students and staff are creating a new institute, an institute,
which in due course of time will make an indelible mark in education and research.
Though we are young, we have a great vision, agility, commitment and energy to create an innovative education and research environment
that will be the envy of all. Through our deeds we shall be the catalysts for change in our local environs as well as the
rest of India and the world.
IITH has a dynamic faculty in all disciplines; in August
2013 it stands at 115. At present, we have
nearly 1350 students in 12 academic departments. Of
1350, there are 260 PhD students,
290 M.Tech. and M.Phil. students, 100 M.Sc. and the
rest B.Techs. in seven engineering disciplines. Thus
IITH has a now thriving student body, full of energy
and a large number of student activities keep the
campus very vibrant and alive.
  
Campus development is progressing at an accelerated
pace. Construction of the campus has commenced,
and we should be moving to the permanent campus
in July 2014. The first phase will have three academic
department buildings, eight men student hostel
blocks and two blocks for women students, a dining
hall, faculty and staff housing. The next phase of
activity has started and we hope to create buildings
for all the remaining departments, and various other
building so that IITH will be able to house 6000
students by 2017.
