IIT-Bombay Director Has Not Resigned, Institute Clarifies

IIT Bombay on Monday issued a formal clarification through its official social media channels, stating that the Director has not resigned from his position. The institute's announcement came in response to reports circulating on various platforms suggesting the Director had stepped down, potentially in connection with a student death at the campus.

In its official post, IIT Bombay described the resignation reports as "false" and reaffirmed the Director's continued tenure at the institution. The clarification was issued to prevent further misinformation and to set the record straight regarding the institute's leadership.

The clarification comes amid heightened scrutiny on IIT Bombay following the death of a student on campus. However, the institute's statement focused solely on addressing the resignation rumours rather than commenting on the circumstances surrounding the student's death or any related institutional matters.
