India’s first digital varsity to focus on creating tech leaders

In a first, India has become home to a digital university. The Kerala University of Digital Sciences, Innovation and Technology (KUDSIT) is established by upgrading the Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management Kerala (IIITMK), which was set up in 2000. It will focus on four key themes required for digital world leadership Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Sustainability and Entrepreneurship.

It is important to note that the digital university is not a virtual university, says Saji Gopinath, vice-chancellor of KUDSIT. “It has an offline campus, and most programmes will be offered through blended mode. But the focus is on creating talent and knowledge for advancements in the digital era. ”
