About the Institute

Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati is a third-generation IIT that was announced in 2014 by the Government of India along with five other IITs at Palakkad, Jammu, Bhilai, Goa, and Dharwad. IIT Tirupati launched its academic programme with the support of its mentor Institute, IIT Madras, on August 5, 2015, from a temporary campus situated in Tirupati.

IIT Tirupati is the first among the third-generation IITs to have laid its foundation stone in March 2015. The 548 acres of permanent campus site is located near Yerpedu on Yerpedu-Venkatagiri Highway (NH565). The campus is well connected by air (Tirupati airport is 12 km), rail (Renigunta Junction is 14 km) and bus services. The construction of six blocks of hostels, workshops, laboratories, computer centre, and classrooms has been completed on the permanent campus and have been operational since 2018. The campus has received two sustainability awards and was ranked 6th under the Swacch Campus awards. All classes and laboratories are held on the permanent campus.

The Master Plan for the Institute has been prepared for a 12,500 students campus. The buildings in the academic zone house various departments, laboratories, and administrative offices, hostels accommodate about 1,500 students, and a residential zone with 188 apartments to house faculty and staff members. The  Phase-I construction, including sports facilities, is completed.

IIT Tirupati offers academic programmes to produce outstanding Engineers, Technologists and Scientists who are capable of addressing the societal needs to enhance the quality of life of people. Since Engineering is Applied Science, more emphasis is laid on theoretical knowledge and practice-oriented laboratories.

Programmes at IIT Tirupati are being planned to nurture innovation, creativity, teamwork, communication skills, ethics, and societal interaction. With the objective of creating technologists who are conscious of social, environmental and sustainable issues, courses in Humanities and Social Sciences are given due importance in the curriculum.

Techmaniacs, the Electronics and Robotics Club of IIT Tirupati, has had a successful year, marked by several key achievements. The club revamped its structure for better resource management, adopted a new logo representing all its interest groups - Arduino and SBC, Robotics, Drones, and Electronics - and added a new Electronics Interest Group. The club built a vibrant community with 377 members in a WhatsApp group and conducted four introductory workshops, each well-attended. It revitalised its YouTube channel to feature workshop recordings, established vendor partnerships for discounted components, and registered on GitHub to document projects and events. The club also set up a system for documenting projects involving issued components. Noteworthy projects from each interest group were showcased at events like the Alumni Meet, where they garnered significant attention.


1.1.1 Arduino Interest Group

Techmaniacs held an Arduino workshop introducing the Interest Group in Arduino, SBCs, and IoT, covering Arduino basics. The workshop provided hands-on experience with two projects: an Obstacle Avoiding Robot, which uses an ultrasonic sensor to navigate around obstacles, and a One Key Air Piano, an interactive setup with ultrasonic sensors on stairs to produce sound when stepped on. Another notable project, Radar with Arduino, used an ultrasonic sensor to create a real-time obstacle map.

The Arduino Interest Group also focused on organising and managing their inventory efficiently and ordered new components for upcoming projects. They initiated two new projects: an Omni-Directional Robotic Arm and an Idea-Square Automation system. With progress on these projects expected to continue into early April, future plans include developing a Face Recognition Robot and a Snake Robot. The club has demonstrated significant activity and innovation, marking a successful year.


1.1.2 Drone Interest Group

Techmaniacs’ Drone Interest Group made significant strides with several projects. Hosted a well-attended workshop introducing drone technology, which piqued the interest of over 20 new members.


Major projects include:

Hexacopter for Package Delivery: Designed for autonomous delivery between campuses, with future enhancements for weather resistance and autonomous navigation.

Fixed-Wing Plane for Wildlife Tracking: Aims to create a cost-effective UAV for wildlife

documentation, with development challenges due to funding issues. They’re also collaborating with CSU Chico and Sigma Squad to develop an AI-enabled drone for

advanced videography, set to be completed by 2025.

Plans are in place to enhance performance further by integrating multi-Agent DRL. Behaviour Simulation Challenge (Mid Prep), saw the prediction of user engagement and content simulation on social media. Models, including a Behaviour Prediction Head and a Content Generation Head, aimed to assist marketers in understanding audience behaviour and generating relevant content. IIT Tirupati got the 14th place, with future work planned around Psychographic
