Education States - Karnataka ‘IISc can become future Stanford’
Preethi. J Bangalore, Aug. 2 “Bangalore’s Indian Institute of Science can become the Stanford of tomorrow,” believes Prof Krishna C. Saraswat, Ricky/Nielson Professor of Engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University. Prof Saraswat, who was in the city to receive a lifetime award for his work in the semiconductor industry, said: “IISc has the culture of Stanford and Bangalore is the right place at the right time. Bangalore can be a hub of researchers and follow the model of Silicon Valley.” IISc will be celebrating its centenary next year. It is the only Indian university that is ranked in top 20 by World Education Report.
