The Indraprastha Institute of Information & Technology (IIIT- Delhi) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Vehant Technologies to facilitate proliferation of systems knowledge among students and faculty in this space through joint projects.
“The partnership is based on undertaking projects jointly conducted by IIIT Delhi students and faculty along with research and development staff of Vehant with particular focus on applications of AI/ML techniques to physical security, surveillance and traffic monitoring,” said Mr. Kapil Bardeja, CEO & Co Founder- Vehant Technologies.
“Alongside sponsorship of the MTech degree program, Vehant Technologies and IIIT-D shall undertake other collaborative activities to support the objectives. Vehant would sponsor research projects, consultancies, M.Tech. students as well as PhD students at IIIT Delhi. We shall sponsor upto five M.Tech. students in the academic year starting 2022-23,” he said.
“We will support all the efforts including publications, conferences, technical journals and IP generations coming out of the partnership. The students joining as fellow students would benefit by getting the cost of their education reimbursed as well as getting industry experience on live projects while still studying,” said Badreja.
Faculty at IIIT Delhi may benefit by this collaboration with more joint research/consulting opportunities with doors opening up from industry. Vehant would be able to attract young fresh talent to work on its projects while simultaneously supporting quality education, he added.
