The college started functioning on 5 August 2015 in a temporary campus housed at Krishna Theja Educational Institutions in Chadalawada Nagar.[7] Admission to the B.Tech programme is through the Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE-Advanced) and students are admitted after completing 10+2 schooling.Gradually, the Institute expanded its strength and introduced a master's programme in Mathematics and Statistics and M. Tech in three streams of Civil Engineering in 2019.Catering to the needs of economically marginal groups, the Institute offers scholarships for students hailing from low-income families.[14] The Institute started its operations in 2015 at a temporary campus located on the Tirupati-Renigunta Road within the premises of Chadalawada Ramanamma Engineering College.Simultaneously, the foundation stone was laid at the 548-acre tract of land allocated by the Government of Andhra Pradesh near Yerpedu village to facilitate the establishment of a permanent campus for the Institute.[citation needed] The Stage 1A campus consisting of laboratories, hostels, classrooms and sports facilities was completed by 2018 by using prefab and sustainable technologies.The contract for the Stage 1C project was awarded on 20 March 2020, however Covid-19 pandemic, delayed the start of work till the first week of June 2020.Some of them include: Tirutsava, the annual techno-cultural festival of IIT Tirupati organized by the students in February each year, is witness to a motley of cultural and technical events.Coding challenges, think tanks, debates, quizzes, and cultural activities give the students a chance to identify their creative and analytic sides.SPIC MACAY chapter at IIT Tirupati has been very active, with the aim to promote Indian classical music and dance among the youth.In August 2019 IIT Tirupati hosted the Virasat series consisting of a number of art workshops and music performances by renowned artists.The faculty members in the department are actively engaged in various research areas such as Food Technology, Colloids and Interfaces, Nanomaterials, Advanced Separations, Catalysis, Microfluidics and Corrosion Engineering and Machine Learning for Process Systems.The department offers numerous courses at the undergraduate level to introduce students to academic research and themes relevant to the civil engineering industry.The faculty members of the department, whose interests cover a wide range of fields in Computer Science (broadly in the verticals of Systems, Theory and Data Science), constantly work towards providing better education while working at premier levels in their respective fields like Algorithmic Engineering, Big Data Technologies, Cloud Computing, Delay Tolerant Networks, Internet of Things, Machine Learning, Software Engineering, etc.The department is actively involved in research in the areas of signal processing, machine learning, medical imaging, nanoelectronics, device modelling, semiconductor devices, digital design and cyber security, power electronics, power systems and smart grids, industrial automation, robust & optimal control, electronic instrumentation, physical layer secrecy, performance analysis of networked systems and distributed algorithms on networks.The department offers mathematical, statistical and computing courses for all engineering disciplines of IIT Tirupati at undergraduate, postgraduate and research levels.[citation needed] The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at IIT Tirupati, established in 2015, offers a two-year postgraduate course titled Master of Public Policy as well as PhD in various disciplines.Furthermore, the department also offers elective courses in the areas of Economics, English, Philosophy, Finance, Organizational Behaviour and Operations Management for all engineering disciplines in undergraduate programmes.In addition, proficiency courses in foreign languages such as Spanish, German, Sanskrit, and Japanese are offered to students in the first year of their B.Tech.The college recently signed an MoU with the Dalhousie University for student and faculty exchange, research collaboration, and other academic purposes.
