Why IGDTUW Stands Out
IGDTUW was founded in 1998 and awarded university status in 2013. It has always focused on empowering women in technical professions.The university is well-known for its robust curriculum, modern research focus, and dynamic student life, which includes active clubs in technology, literature, culture, and other fields. Students often participate in competitive events like Baja SAE and Supra SAE, gaining real-world exposure and hands-on learning.
