Professor Gautam Biswas is tipped to become the next director of IIT Guwahati.
The director of Central Mechanical Engineering and Research Institute in Durgapur is all set to replace Gautam Barua, whose tenure as the director ended. Barua served in the top position for 10 years.
A search-cum-selection panel headed by human resource development minister M.M. Pallam Raju has selected Biswas for the job.
President Pranab Mukherjee, who is the visitor of the institute, will have to clear the appointment after which Biswas will get a five-year term as the director, sources said.
