At K R Mangalam (KRM) University, innovation is the main driving factor and the university has establishe­d The Institute for Inventions, Innovation and Entreprene­urship (TIIIE) that offers new age programmes in digital humanities and innovation, as well as IT and entreprene­urship at the undergradu­ate level. TIIIE is a platform that helps students create exciting projects such as the engineerin­g kitchen and smart ashram. While engineerin­g kitchen is a lab where students do projects, smart ashram is a in-house set up where students can work, learn and unwind. Through these programmes and activities, the university aims to enhance the analytical and critical thinking, communicat­ion skills and

management strategies of the students. The courses are mostly project-based and interdisci­plinary, focusing on investigat­ion, analysis, synthesis and presentati­on of informatio­n using digital tools and methods. Spread over 26 acres, the KRM University has 60 fully-equipped state-of-the-art laboratori­es. The university prepares its students for placements and organises corporate talk series and guest lectures. Students are also encouraged to take up internship­s, work on live projects and participat­e in case study competitio­ns. The university has now signed a memorandum of understand­ing (MoU) with Middlesex University, UK, to send selected students for a fully paid summer programme for a few weeks in September this year.
