- 11 National Institutes of Technology of the country have been assigned new directors by the Government of India.
- The delay in the appointment of directors was due to the cabinet shuffle which happened last year in July 2016.
The Government of India has finalised, approved and appointed Directors of 11 NITs across the country. The decision came as a sigh of relief for institutes like NIT Warangal and NIT Durgapur that have been functioning without a head since the past one year. The appointment of the directors for these two institutes had been delayed due to the cabinet reshuffle in July 2016 when Smriti Irani was shited to the Ministry of Textiles and Industry.
The list of all the new directors appointed to 11 NITs can be checked here.
