From Google’s Sundar Pichai to Flipkart’s Sachin and Binny Bansal and Infosys Founder Narayana Murthy- IIT produces the best. And now, the iconic institute is all set to expand and enter the global market. Yep, you read that right! Abu Dhabi will be the first home to IIT’s first campus outside India. Read on to know more!

IIT will begin courses in Abu Dhabi in 2024, confirms Sunjay Sudhir, Indian ambassador to the UAE. Currently, India has 23 IIT colleges, and it’s difficult to clear the tests and become an IITian. Offering a rigorous curriculum in engineering and technology, IIT in UAE will be an independent college offering fewer academic programmes and eventually will offer all programmes like undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD courses.
