This issue of NAVIIINA brings together stories that reflect the diverse achievements of our community. From students representing the Institute on international platforms and qualifying for prestigious global competitions, to faculty receiving distinguished recognitions and contributing to impactful research, every accomplishment reflects the passion and perseverance that define IIIT-Bangalore.
A significant milestone this month was the Parisar Pravesh of the IIIT-Bangalore Extension Campus on Hosa Road, marking an important step in the Institute’s continued growth and its vision of expanding opportunities for learning, research, and collaboration.
