💾 Download Poster Template (.pptm)Indian Institute of Technology Mandi is nestled in the Shivalik Range of the Himalayas, located in Kamand Valley, Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh. Known for its picturesque campus and cutting-edge research in micro/nano-electronics. IIT Mandi's campus (about 14 km from Mandi) is on the left bank of the Uhl River at Kamand and Salgi villages. Mandi has an average elevation of 1044 meters (3425 feet) and is situated on the banks of Beas. Mandi town falls in the lower most climatic zone of the Himalayas. These regions enjoys a wet-sub temperate climate of the foot hills (450-900 meters) as against the dry-cold alpine climate with snowfall at higher altitudes (2400-4800 meters). Average annual rainfall of Mandi is 1380 mm.
Established in 2018, C4DFED is a premier institute-wide facility dedicated to the design, fabrication, and characterization of next-generation nano-electronics devices. C4DFED houses a state-of-the-art Class 100, Class 1000 cleanroom facility equipped with sophisticated lithography, deposition, etching, and characterization tools. By bridging the gap between theoretical physics, material science, and electrical engineering, c4dfed provides a platform for researchers and industry partners to translate lab-scale concepts into functional prototypes.
In May-June, the weather is pleasant with temperatures ranging from 15-25 degree celcius.
