MEMS design centre involves participation from the various departments of the institute viz. Electronics and Communication, Physics and Material Science and Biotechnology. Centre has been created to implement the National Program of Materials for Smart Sensors (NPMASS) initiated by Aeronautical Development Agency of Government of India. Under NPMASS, MEMS Centre has obtained state of art software such as COMSOL Multiphysics, Intellisuite and Tanner EDA. Centre also has collaborative projects from DRDO on Infrared Sensor Device development. The Centre has undertaken in-house development of Quartz Micro-balance for Bio-sensors, MEMS Inductor Design for RF wireless application, Microcantilever for communication filter and lead free piezo ceramics through master level projects.

Centre for Emerging Diseases

Centre for Emerging Diseases addresses the questions of molecular mechanism/pathogenesis/host pathogen interactions of emerging and re-emerging viral (Chikungunya & Chandipura) and bacterial pathogens (Mycobacterium) and life style diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular and CNS disorders. Research emphasis is also on peptide based therapeutics, biosensor and ELISA based diagnostics, drug encapsulated Nanoparticles and nanoemulsions to improve the delivery and bioavailability.

Prayag: Centre for Knowledge Informatics for Sustainable Development

Prayag aims to create a community of such multidisciplinary researchers at JIIT who are driven by the concerns of sustainable development. It has been envisaged as a forum to contribute towards deepening and broadening the understanding about the multifaceted challenges and solutions associated with sustainable development. It seeks to do so through facilitating and promoting discipline specific as well as IT inclusive cross-disciplinary approach.

Center for Performance Modelling of Computing Systems

This centre provides a platform to researchers to share their experiences, insights, and challenges regarding modelling, simulation and performance evaluation in all areas of computer science engineering and information technology. Specifically, the academic activities of this centre are focused on modelling and simulation of computer networks (wired & wireless), wireless sensor networks, distributed systems, multimedia systems and techniques, databases & data mining techniques, computer architectures and processors, algorithms, social networks, software & information systems.

Controversies

In 2010, the Government of India decided to derecognise 44 universities including JIIT.[50] However, this matter is still pending in supreme court of India. In its recent judgement supreme court of India directed University Grants Commission to conduct a fresh physical verification of infrastructure and faculty strength of deemed universities, which were black-listed by Tandon Committee. Hence not approved by AICTE.[51][52][53]

On October 15, 2015 an M. Tech first year student was stabbed inside the washroom. The incident took place when the victim left the hostel mess for the washroom. The victim was stabbed multiple times. She is recuperating from her injuries while police have launched a manhunt to nab the culprit. Clueless cops have questioned half a dozen people in connection with the case. Priyanka had gone for dinner in the mess at around 9.30 pm. After having dinner, she went to washroom on the first floor. Lights were switched off in the washroom and the attacker was already waiting. She was attacked as soon as she entered the washroom. "He stabbed her multiple times. Priyanka screamed for help and by the time other people rushed to the scene, the attacker had left," the police said.

After the attack, the victim was immediately rushed to Fortis hospital in Sector 62. A police team and senior police officials reached the scene. The police have picked up some samples from the scene. An FIR has been lodged at the Sector 58 police station.

Speaking about the crime, GB Nagar senior superintendent of police Kiran S said the victim was having dinner in the hostel mess. "It is a joint mess. Both boys and girls have dinner in the same mess, situated on the first floor. After dinner, when the victim left for washroom, an unidentified man attacked on her. He stabbed her and then fled the scene," Kiran S said.

When asked about any lead into the case, Kiran S said, "The police so far have not gained any important lead into the case. Manhunt is on to nab the culprits. We have questioned nearly half a dozen people into the case. There was no CCTV installed inside the mess or on the corridor of first floor," he added. [54]
