Number of Students: As per the information available with IITs, the total number of students in 23 IITs as on 01.11.2018 is 91448.

IITs follow flexible cadre for faculty and strive to maintain a faculty student ratio of 1:10. As on November, 2018, the combined sanctioned strength of faculty in IITs was 8856 against which, 6043 were in position with a vacancy of 2813.  To bridge this gap, IITs have been taking various measures including year-round open advertisements, invitation through searchcum-selection procedures to potential faculty in India and abroad, publication of vacancy advertisements in international journals. In addition, Government has also launched schemes such as Global Initiative for Academic Networks (GIAN) to enable foreign faculty to teach courses in the higher educational institutions, Prime Minister's Research Fellows (PMRF) to attract bright students into Ph.D programmes as well as relaxing the norms for appointment of OCIs, NRIs and foreigners as faculty in IITs.

Focus on Research : To complement the renewed focus of the Government on developing indigenous R&D capabilities, boosting manufacturing and creating a successful startup culture in the country, a number of steps as detailed below have been taken:-

- (i)  Research  Parks: Complementing  the  renewed  focus  of  the  Government  on developing  indigenous  R&D  capabilities,  boosting  manufacturing  and  creating  a successful startup culture in the country, five new Research Parks at IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Kanpur, IIT Hyderabad, and IISc Bangalore at a total cost of Rs.75.00 crore  each  have  been  approved  by  the  Government.    Approval  has  also  been accorded for continuation of two already approved Research Parks at IIT Bombay and  IIT  Kharagpur  at  a  cost  of  Rs.100  crore  each.    The  Research  Park  at  IIT Gandhinagar at a total cost of Rs.90 crore is being funded by the Department of Science & Technology. Construction of Research Parks at IIT Kharagpur and IIT Bombay to achieve 100% and 60% completion whereas five new Research Parks to reach 10% completion.
- (ii)  IMPRINT: IMPRINT is a flagship national initiative of the Government, launched on November  5,  2015,  which  aims  at  providing  solutions  to  the  most  relevant
