NEW DELHI: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati and IIT-BHU Varanasi have signed an agreement to start a joint doctoral programme from July 2021.
The two premier technical institutions have come together to build a "network of excellence" of all IITs, “rather than each one striving to become a “tower of excellence”, states a statement issued by the IIT Guwahati.
