Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has signed a memorandum of understanding with US-settled innovation organization Micron to assist with memorandum and foster a profoundly skilled labor force, a move pointed toward supporting India's objective of confidence in the semiconductor industry and the fortifying of the general electronics system.

 

The alliance visualizes research in technology fields, giving experiential learning open doors for students, developing understudy enrolling exercises and working with industry-important preparation.

 

The Micron Semiconductor Lab, set up at the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, IIT Roorkee, will focus on specialized abilities, cycles and assets required for IIT Roorkee to adjust and flourish through understudy temporary jobs and associations while perceiving the significance of nearby technical expertise. This will be accomplished through specific expert's and doctoral certificate programs, with the backing of an expanded educational plan, an actual lab and a board of professors who will work intimately with the students on their technical development.

 

The IIT Roorkee class of 1996 has swore to support the 'Rahul Aggarwal-96 Seat' at the institute. Aggarwal is a former student of the 1996 batch. The seat, with sponsorship from the business and the scholarly world, will work with the exploration and scholastic drives of the Micron Semiconductor Lab in chip plan, innovation, displaying, characterisation and item advancement.

 

“As a part of our University Research Alliance, Micron (URAM) outreach, this initiative aligns well with the thrust areas of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). We are grateful for the support and collaboration from the alumni class of 1996,” Macron India managing director Anand Ramamoorthy, also an alumnus of the institute, said in a statement.

 

IIT Roorkee director Prof. KK Pant said, “As we march into the future, IIT Roorkee remains steadfast in our dedication to pioneering technological advancements. With our esteemed alumni leading the charge, we are poised to shape India's semiconductor landscape and realise the vision of a developed Bharat by 2047, as envisioned by our Honourable Prime Minister Shri Modi.”
