Speaking on the occasion, Prof TG Sitharam, Director of IIT Guwahati, said, �In order to further move up in the ranking table, IIT Guwahati needs to attract more international students and international faculty members, improve the faculty-student ratio and work on improving the academic and employer reputation.
