INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PALAKKAD
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PALAKKAD IIT Palakkad was announced by the Government of India in 2014 and it began in the very next academic year, 2015-16. Its emblem designed by NID is an unique symbol that highlights the notion of synergy and dynamic inter-relationship between research, theory and practice in academics. Inspired from the (5,3) torus knot, the cyclic form rendered in a continuous single line symbolises the process of continuous evolution. The form also has a hidden question mark – representing curiosity. The subtle semblance to the form of a light bulb suggests enlightenment of knowledge, essential to dispel the darkness. The pentamerous elements are symbolic of the ‘pal’ flower. The white star in the centre stands for the illustrious graduates who aspire to make the world a better place. The colour palette is unique with the golden yellow representing the rising sun and its energy and the cool grey representing the propriety of science education.
