The Institute is also planning to launch a Centre for Cyber Security at Delhi and a Science and Technology park in the Sonipat campus, the officials said.

Recently, IIT had arranged an alumnus meet. IIT Delhi acted as the host for the meet from various batches which was organized in order to increase the alumni participation with IIT Delhi's various operations.
