11. Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 11 Strengthen the PhD programme Have a strong visitor programme Have a strong student and faculty exchange program Encourage entrepreneurship Have more collaborations with industry and government organizations Future

12. Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 12 PhD programme: Presently (35 resident,45 external) Raise to (130 resident,80 external) Admission requirement - should be outstanding, basic degree in science. (willing to scout all over the country -talent hunting is fun!)

13. Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 13 Treat them well Good work space - we have it now! Exposure to the world Exchange programmes with other universities, industries all over the world A strong visitor programme (researchers from all over the world staying with us, weeks to several months) PhD students

14. Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 14 15 visitors at any given time Ph.D. students of Senior research other universities workers Academics Practitioners from industry/R&D organizations Rule = Excellence + Interaction with our faculty A strong visitor programme

15. Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 15 The curriculum would encourage technological entrepreneurship Design projects taken to product level completion Dual Degree, M.Tech, B.Tech projects can aim towards entrepreneurial goals. Entrepreneurship
