The generous funding from the class of 1998 has supported Chair Professorship in Quantum Computing. Prof. R. B. Sunoj (2020-2023) from the Department of Chemistry currently presides as the chair.
The class of 1998, as part of their reunion, set up a travel fund for students to be able to travel abroad to publish and present their research. This initiative has been undertaken in an attempt to incentivize quality research and provide international exposure to our students while at the same time improving the IITB brand name. The batch set up a travel fund in 2019. But unfortunately, due to the pandemic and subsequent travel lockdown, the fund is largely unutilized.
