NIT-T asked to provide hostel, classroom space for IIM
TIRUCHI: The National Institute of Technology – Tiruchi (NIT-T) has received a letter from the Ministry of Human Resource Development asking for provision of minimum infrastructure facilities for temporary functioning of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) proposed for Tiruchi in the Eleventh Plan period.
The communication indicated the MHRD’s plans to admit 140 students through CAT examinations, but the year has not been mentioned.
“In deference to a request for hostel accommodation of the students of the new IIM made by an official team that visited recently, we have assured to provide it after obtaining the approval of our Board of Governors. The additional request for providing classrooms could be fulfilled only next year since the institute has to accommodate about 900 new students this year, owing to the additional intake as per OBC reservation norms,” Institute Director M. Chidambaram said.
The IIM being a Central Government institution, the MHRD’s expectation of NIT-T’s support is stated to be obvious.
