Today India has emerged as the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) superpower, thanks to the multipronged IT educational initiatives that were launched during the 90’s. The ICT industry covering both IT and IT-enabled services and the Telecom sector is about to reach the magical figure of $100 billion by 2010. Software export has already crossed US$ 50 billion mark. India’s Telecom industry has created a history with 450 million mobile phones and about 50 million fixed-line phones. The roadmap of 3G and 4G has been defined and next generation networks are being introduced with multiplay converged devices. Most importantly, India has now become the world’s R&D hub attracting world leaders like IBM, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Cisco, Ericsson, Intel, Motorola, Analog services, Samsung, LG, Sony and others who have set up large R&D centers in India for developing future generation technology products and services. It is also widely recognized that India cannot sustain its enviable growth rate in ICT unless it decisively creates new innovations and establish world leadership in new technology developments.
This paradigm shift from service to innovation has placed new demands for advanced education and research in emerging areas of ICT covering VLSI design, embedded system design, wired and wireless networks and telecom infrastructure demands a whole range of software development covering web services, SOA, EAI, Web 2 & 3 frameworks and advanced computing spanning multicore, cluster and grid computing architectures.
