IIT-Kharagpur shows how to innovate, bags maximum laurels at innovation awards

IITs are known around the world for being one of the best engineering colleges. However, one of them will soon be recognized as the best medical college as well. 
 
After HRD ministry nod, IIT-Kharagpur is now the first among IITs to offer medicine courses to students soon. Interestingly, IIT-Kharagpur was also the first IIT to have a management school. The <keyword id="2872909" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vinod-Gupta-School-of-Management">Vinod Gupta School of Management</keyword> was started in 1993 and is often ranked among the top 20 <keyword id="112381" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="business-schools">business schools</keyword> in the country. 
 
You may think why are IITs venturing into the medical domain. The idea, as per the institute, is to be a research hospital where technological developments can take place, and local patients can benefit from them. 
 Plan is to kick-start the new course by 2019 with a batch of 50 students. However, a 400-bed hospital to be set up on the campus which will act as a teaching facility, will start admitting patients from mid-2018 itself. The super-speciality hospital will include departments, such as cardiology, neurology, orthopedic, out-patient, besides a medical diagnostic centre and an emergency ward. The permission from the <keyword id="49468" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Medical-Council-of-India">Medical Council of India</keyword> will come only after this hospital starts operating. 
 
As per sources, several hospitals of repute have been approached to manage IIT-K hospital's operations. Associated doctors will have an opportunity to carry out medico-technical research. "We aim to introduce videography during treatment, with the patient's permission. This will allow us to gather information, which can be transmitted anywhere across the globe to other doctors, who can then go through the treatment procedure and records to make recommendations," said the institute deputy director. 
 Chances are medical aspirants won't have to appear for <keyword id="6361994" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="NEET">NEET</keyword>, as IIT-K plans to have a separate entrance examination. Notably, IITs are governed by a separate law, which enables them to hold their own admission exams, like for engineering courses.

In a first, two law schools from India — Jindal Global Law School and National Law School Bangalore — were featured in the <a href="https://www.livelaw.in/news-updates/jgls-ranked-top-law-school-in-india-among-top-100-150-on-global-scale-read-press-release-153465">top 200</a> of the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings for Law. “This is the result of continuous efforts of our government to promote the environment of research and innovation in our educational institutions,” said Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal. Of the 12,000 law schools across the globe, these are the only two Indian law schools to make it to the global university rankings. OP Jindal Global University’s law school has been ranked in the 101-150 bracket in the list while National Law School has been ranked in top 150-200 universities. Only 300 law institutions were ranked this year. “It is an extraordinary and unprecedented ‘institutional moment’ for JGU to witness history as its first school is ranked number one in India and 101-150 in the world. All the schools of JGU are on this pathway to achieve global recognition and institutional eminence,” Raj Kumar, founding vice chancellor, JGU <a href="https://www.livelaw.in/news-updates/jgls-ranked-top-law-school-in-india-among-top-100-150-on-global-scale-read-press-release-153465">said</a>.

Globally, Harvard University tops the ranking followed by Yale University and Stanford University. Other top institutions in India — Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), University of Delhi (DU) and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) — also improved their ranking on the global scale. This is because of their research quality, academic reputation, accomplishments and graduate placements. JNU moved up two spots to rank 162th among the top 500 universities while the Delhi University and AIIMS were ranked at 231st in the humanities and medicine fields, respectively. In the engineering and technology domain, five Indian institutions ranked in the top 100 universities, compared to three last year.
