Research
ICT has very strong research culture. The first ever Ph.D. degree in Engineering and Technology stream in India was awarded by the ICT in 1941. ICT has strong relationship with the industry and many government as well as industry sponsored projects take shape in ICT. In 2011 the Central Ministry of Textiles sanctioned ICT's National Centre of Excellence in Sportech a grant of Rs24.5 crore for researching sports-related apparel and goods. With this, ICT has become the first institute in the country to conduct research on sports fabrics.
