About IIT Tirupati

The Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati (IIT Tirupati) was established under the Institutes of Technology Act, 1961. Located on Yerpedu-Venkatagiri Road, Yerpedu Post, Tirupati District, it is the first institute of the third phase of Indian Institutes of Technology, following its announcement in 2014 and foundation stone laying in March 2015. Since its inception, IIT Tirupati has steadily developed as a premier institute dedicated to higher education and research in engineering and technology.

IIT Tirupati currently offers a comprehensive range of academic programs, including Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech), Master of Technology (M.Tech), Master of Science (M.Sc), Master of Public Policy (MPP), Master of Science (Research), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The institute is organized into nine departments, encompassing Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Humanities & Social Sciences, Mathematics & Statistics, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics.

About the Department of Mathematics and Statistics
