What Students Says

The MSc Applied Physics program has been an enriching experience, providing strong experimental foundations, with expert faculty and facilities, it has prepared me for advanced research. I’m excited to further my learning through an upcoming internship at Ecole des Mines, Saint-Etienne, France.


“Unlike most of the educational institutions where more focus is on getting marks, Digital University Kerala (formerly IIITM-K) has always strived for practical knowledge. That is the reason why DUK has been delivering numerous projects for the Government of Kerala. The weekly seminars & guest lectures from IT leaders gave us the reality check every week for two years regarding whether we are keeping up with the industry.”


I owe a large part of whatever I have achieved to DIJK (erstwhile IIITMK). It did a great job of equipping me with the knowledge and skills required in Geospatial Technologies. I have found that these skills have been invaluable throughout my different responsibilities at Caterpillar where I am currently employed.


Digital University Kerala provided me with round the clock accessibility to the best classrooms and laboratories. The strategic partnerships with IT organizations provided the opportunities to learn and apply our knowledge to real-world problems. Moreover, DUK equips us to transcend into professionals from students through various forums and ventures where we can interact with high achievers from the industry and gain knowledge that will, in turn, shape our future prospects
