In response to the questions on temporary arrangements and ongoing developments related to the new IIT, Prof. Satyanarayana said, “Arrangements have already been made for commencement of classes. By the third week of July, hostel and lab facilities will be completely functional too. IIT Madras is mentoring IIT Tirupati and hence, we will have some of the most senior and experienced faculty taking classes of students and deal with day-to-day activities of the institute.”
