Third campus of RGIPT, “ENERGY INSTITUTE, BANGALORE” is proposed in Bengaluru – which is envisioned to be a distinguished energy research institute offering world class research, and education, so as to be ranked in the top 20 institutes of the world in next 20 years.
The purpose of the Energy Institute is to drive economic growth through Energy R&D, Technology development, Energy innovation and entrepreneurship. The INSTITUTE would conduct cutting-edge industrial, technological, and basic research; Offer education to students; and Training to industry professionals in the field of energy. The institute is also aiming to create Energy Experience Centre, Incubation Cell / E-Cell, Office of licensing and commercialization to facilitate immersive experience of energy technologies.
For setting up of the Institute, a land of 150 acres has been allotted to RGIPT by Government of Karnataka in Kambalipura, Hosakote Taluk. While construction of this Centre of Excellence in Kambalipura land would require a few years, academic sessions would begin from the year 2018-19 from a temporary campus of Visvewaraya Technological University Campus, MUDDENAHALLI (Chikkaballapur District). To start with three M Tech Programmes are designed in the fields of Renewable Energy, Power and Energy Systems Engineering and Energy Science and Technology that would commence from September 2018.
