Synopsis
The idea, said the panel’s report, is to “open up opportunities for the academician to propose solutions to real world problems” and to step up professional interaction between the IITs and industry in greater national interest.
A panel set up by the education ministry has suggested that the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) be allowed to hire industry experts as professors of practice to help deepen academia-industry collaboration and offer greater professional exposure to students.
It has also advocated “industry leave” and dual appointments for IIT faculty.
