IISER-Tirupati gets ready to conduct its sixth convocation on August 5
The institute, started in 2015 with only a BS-MS programme, has rapidly expanded to offer a number of courses such as Integrated PhD and PhD, besides hosting Post-Doctoral Research Fellows. It is also offering a four-year Bachelor of Science in Economics and Statistical Sciences (BS-ESS) and a two-year MS (Masters by Research) programme starting August 2025.
A total of 255 students will be graduating this year, who include 22 from PhD, 8 from I-PhD, 3 from MS, 141 from BS-MS, 69 from professional Master's, six from BS and six from BSc.
Interacting with the media here on Sunday, IISER Director Santanu Bhattacharya said the institute's H-index currently stood at 57, with cumulative citations of 17,256. The Nature Index-2025 ranked IISER-Tirupati 33rd among academic institutions in India.
'IISER-Tirupati has strengthened its international ties with Heidelberg University and the University of Cologne, while we are soon launching an academic programme with University of Melbourne,' Dr. Bhattacharya said.
The national institute had also tied up with the University of Buffalo, USA, and Australian National University (ANU), thus creating a plethora of opportunities for its students.
Similarly, the extramural research funding doubled from the previous year, touching ₹29.43 crore.

'Happier after returning to home country': Redditor's post on fighting hard for H-1B, green card viral
A Reddit post on H-1B, green card went viral. A Reddit post on fighting hard to get an H-1B and a green card , just to realize that happiness lies in the home country, went viral as it resonated with many users who commented that priorities of individuals change as they age and many people want to go back to their country of origin once they have enough money. "By the time they get their GC, they are old with good wealth and like people retiring and moving to Florida or warmer places, Indians move back to India," one wrote. "I was a part of an FB group of the expats in the US and the most common question was 'How long can i stay in India after getting my green card'. You can imagine now. Most of the Indians are out there for money, their heart lies in India only," another user shared an experience. A Reddit post on fighting so hard for H-1B, green card goes viral. "I'm with you. I moved to the US 11 years ago with a dream to settle here. Now I'm here entering my 8th year of H1B and my priority date around the corner. I still want to settle here but that obsession of moving here permanently I had 11 yrs back has definitely faded," one said, explaining how priorities changed over years. "Yes! I get the feeling every few months, but one trip to India makes me realize how lucky I am to have permanent residency in a first world country," one wrote, differing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brandi's Journey: Life After Storage Wars Paperela Undo "They try to convince themselves that they are happier returning to home country. The fact is that circumstances keep changing. Everyone has different things that keep them happy. For me, staying in a non polluted city with access to good medical facilities and good internet connection would make me happy. No city in India can give me this. So it's USA for me," another wrote. "If someone thinks H-1Bs are sought after by just anyone, they're mistaken. Most H-1B holders already have good enough careers with their basic needs met but they move to the US not out of desperation, but to make it good enough career -> better career. Others don't even bother, either because they find alternative ways to improve their lives or have strong support systems within their home countries," one wrote.

Trump's tech hiring ban: India's chance to redefine global innovation
By doubling down on its strengths—its people, its problems, its potential—India can turn exclusion into empowerment read more US President Donald Trump has urged American tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Apple to stop hiring foreign workers, including those from India, and focus instead on creating jobs in the United States. His words sent ripples across the global tech landscape. At an AI Summit held in Washington on Wednesday, Trump said that American companies should now put national interests first in the fast-growing field of artificial intelligence. Although there has been no official policy announcement, this adds to the growing uncertainty for Indian professionals, as India plays a key role in the global operations of U.S. tech firms. Recent reports indicate that major U.S. tech firms are lobbying against strict hiring bans. For many, it felt like a betrayal—a nation that has long powered global innovation now faces exclusion. But what if this moment is India's chance to rewrite its story? Rather than a setback, Trump's directive could ignite India's ascent as a self-reliant tech superpower, proving it can innovate not just for the West but for the world. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump's remarks tap into a broader narrative of economic nationalism, one that paints foreign talent—particularly India's vast pool of engineers—as a drain on American jobs. This is no small matter. U.S. tech companies have been establishing engineering hubs in cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad for decades, and India is a vital part of their global operations. Yet Trump's statement, aimed at boosting U.S. AI dominance, signals a pivot toward insularity. One of the directives outlines a nationwide strategy to accelerate the development of AI by relaxing regulations and enticing businesses to construct data centres and other essential infrastructure within the United States. Companies that receive federal funding to develop AI tools are subject to new regulations under the second order. Helping U.S.-made AI products compete internationally is the main goal of the third executive order. Together, they underscore a vision where global talent takes a back seat. India's tech sector risks disruption. American firms have leaned on Indian engineers for cost-efficient, high-skill labour, building software and cloud systems that power the world. A hiring freeze could shrink opportunities for Indian professionals, particularly those eyeing U.S. careers via H-1B visas. It might also chill investments in India's tech hubs, where companies like Google and Microsoft have sprawling campuses. The Brookings Institution notes that over half of top U.S. AI researchers are foreign-born, many from India. Curtailing this pipeline could slow innovation in the U.S., but it also threatens India's role as a global tech engine. The fear is real: a brain drain reversed, with talent staying home but lacking the platforms to thrive. Yet this challenge masks a profound opportunity. India can seize this moment to pivot from being the world's back office to its innovation hub. India should harness its engineers graduating annually—a massive talent pool. Instead of coding for Western giants, these minds can build indigenous platforms tailored to India's needs. Take agriculture, where AI could optimise crop yields for small farmers battling climate shifts. (Update: The Indian government recently announced a new AI mission focusing on agriculture, healthcare, and language models.) In healthcare, homegrown AI tools could diagnose diseases in rural clinics, bridging gaps where doctors are scarce. By focusing inward, India can solve local problems while creating globally competitive tech. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India's digital infrastructure—think Aadhaar and UPI—already sets a global standard for scale and efficiency. Government backing could fuel AI hardware innovation. By investing in research hubs and easing startup regulations, India can nurture ecosystems where talent stays and thrives. Imagine an AI model trained on India's diverse languages, powering education or governance solutions exportable to Africa or Southeast Asia. Trump's push could catalyse this shift, forcing India to prioritise self-reliance over outsourcing. The other side has weight: global collaboration has driven tech's golden age. U.S. firms warn that restricting foreign talent could hamstring innovation, given America's own tech talent shortage. Indian professionals in the U.S. fear uncertainty, and companies reliant on government contracts may hesitate to defy Trump's rhetoric. But India's talent doesn't need Western validation to shine—it can build its own Silicon Valleys. Trump's call is a wake-up call for India. The country stands at a crossroads, with a chance to redefine global innovation. By doubling down on its strengths—its people, its problems, its potential—India can turn exclusion into empowerment. The world is watching. It's time for India to code its own future. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The writer is a columnist.
