Executive Summary
Objective
 Co duct a detailed assess e t of the faculty i I dia s Tier-1 engineering institutions and identify the top
faculty by major areas of research
Methodology
 Zinnov has analyzed the top 10 Tier -1 engineering universities and institutes in India to shortlist and identify
the top faculty for industry research
 The faculty ranking was arrived at by using a comprehensive research competency assessment framework
developed by Zinnov
 Further, major areas of research were identified by select departments and the top faculty by each research
area were also shortlisted
 The results are completely based on secondary research, with data collected publicly available information
sources. Hence the results are subject to the information available from the available sources

NAVA – High speed Internet technology Silicon Locket for Cardiac Monitoring
 Project to focus on developing internet  World s s allest ECG o itori g de ice
speeds greater than 3G and 4G  Allows patients at high risk of cardiac
 Based on Large-MIMO technology arrest to wirelessly monitor the heart
 Expected to be more power efficient and  Equipped with USB, IrDA, RS232 and
reliable than Wi-Fi 2.4GHz wireless connectivity
 Funding partners: IISc partnering with  ECG data stored in Micro SD card memory
DRDO & private companies  Funding partner: TCS
 PI: Prof A Chockalingam, ECE@IISc  PI: Prof Ramgopal Rao, ECE@IIT B
Technology to be demonstrated in Sept 2013 to transmit 1 GB The locket is undergoing field trials in hospitals and is expected
per second with multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to be marketed in the next few months
Aakash 4 - ultra low-cost tablet Fighting terrorism with technology

 Aakash 4 tablets will be based on open  Wireless communication device to capture
specification enabling multiple vendors to & transmit images using ultra-broadband
manufacture the tablets unlike Aakash 2 services
 Likely to be priced at $50-$60 (less than Rs  Images can be viewed at a command
2,000), the Aakash 4 tablet will be an station during terror operations
upgraded version of Aakash 2  State-of-art technology to tackle problems
 Funding partner: MHRD (Govt. of India) in urban terrorism, naxalism & cyber crime
 PI: Prof Ashok Jhunjhunwala, EE@IIT M  PI: Prof Abhay Karandikar, EE@IIT B
Around ten companies, including HP, Lenovo and Dell, have CRPF has taken active interest in the project and some demos
evinced interest in developing the low-cost tablets of prototypes have been held for some of its top officials
