    he journey has been immense. Now its time to rejoice. The institute kickedth

    off its Golden Jubilee Celebration on 8 August 2009, with the esteemedTpresence of the IITK Alumnus and the non-executive chairman and founderof Infosys, Mr. Narayan Murthy. Mr Murthy emphasized that the thrust of this

    institute should be to provide quality education to even such students who arebrilliant but unable to afford the fees. Such students should be given scholarship.

    Also more focus should be given to post-graduate and post-doctoral programmes

    so as to produce more Phd scholars. He also laid stress on research work and added

    that more research projects should be done to compete with the institutions of

    global repute.

    The audiences present at the inaugural ceremony of the golden jubilee of the

    coveted IIT-K were left mesmerised with the screening of the documentary on theinstitute, directed by Sunil Shanbag. The documentary showed the initial days of IIT

    when the classes were conducted in the rented part in the Hartcourt Butler

    Technological Institute. The laying of the foundation stone of the IIT-K, the

    infrastructural growth it received, the expansion of buildings that took place and

    the student activities were also highlighted in the film.

    The evening programme was proceeded by a cultural extravaganza by special

    invitee Shubha Mudgal who set the ball rolling for the good moments to continue.

    The following day was proceeded by a Workshop on Challenges in Higher

    Education, which had eminent personalities like Sam Pitroda (National Knowledge

    Commission) and Arun Shourie (Author & Journalist).

    IIT Kanpur

    The institute has seen five decades so far and each decade was marked with a story.

    The first decade was the decade of growth after the inception of the IIT-K but the

    second decade registered unrest from the staff of the institute. The third decade was

    a soothing balm after the institute faced a lot of agitation. In the fourth decade,

    prosperity and development was at its peak, which led to the entry into the fifth

    decade, which came roaring and now the institute should reach at an international

    height for, which the mantra would be research

    Alumni Speak

    Words from Alumni

    The M Tech in management IIT kanpur has provided me immense knowledge both

    from the technical and business points of view. It has enhanced my critical thinkingand analytical skills, and the ability to predict problems and recommend solutions

    with forceful logic. My II year MTech has definitely helped me to gain respect within

    the organization. As I expected this is the best place, for integration of management

    and engineering..

    IIT Kanpur MBA program was more of a lifeline than an academic qualification for

    most of my batch mates as we were the pioneer batch. The time we spent at IITK had

    an astonishing influence on my personality. IIT Kanpur MBA program is very unique

    and the way we have performed in the industry proves its uniqueness. The faculty

    were outstanding and they were more like mentors than teachers. Today, being a

    Manager with one of the Big 4 consulting companies, I can vouch that the credit of my

    growth goes to the faculty and the learning I had during my MBA

    The IITK MBA program is for those who have a desire to augment their technical

    knowledge with the underpinnings of a formal business education. Looking back at

    those two wonderful years, IITK taught me the value of team work, out of the box

    thinking and allowed me to meet some extraordinary people.

    Choosing IITK is the best thing I have done for myself from a professional standpointand I must say that it has opened for me many a door to new opportunities and been a

    key element in my career
