Shimla, Dec 18 (IANS) The second academic session of Himachal Pradesh’s Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) will begin in the state’s Mandi town, a minister said Friday. The first session was held at IIT-Roorkee, its mentor institute.
Initially, the IIT classes would start at Mandi’s Vallabh Government College, the state’s Technical Education Minister Narender Bragta told IANS.
