About IC&SR

The Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, has been interacting with industries, research organizations, and government agencies for taking up consultancy and sponsored research projects. These are either referred to the institute or sanctioned based on specific project proposals submitted by the faculty members.

These projects and assignments require a great amount of scientific and technical input from the faculty and staff of the Institute. Further, they need administrative support to cover the processing of the proposals, recruitment, finance, purchase, etc.

The Office of Industrial Consultancy and Sponsored Research of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras implements these administrative matters and coordinates all the projects and assignments taken up by the faculty.
