IIT Madras Director Exposes How Fake 'Paper Leak' Videos Can Be Created On Telegram Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director of IIT Madras and a member of the National Security Advisory Board, highlighted a potential vulnerability in Telegram that could have serious implications. Using a live example, he showed how a PDF file sent at 3:39 PM could later be replaced with an entirely different document while retaining the original timestamp. Prof. Kamakoti stressed that he was deliberately withholding the exact method to prevent misuse, calling it an act of responsible disclosure. He cautioned users against treating Telegram messages as foolproof digital evidence and warned students and the public against being misled by manipulated "paper leak" claims circulating online.

Repeatability in performance is what differentiates a working prototype from a working subsystem. Humbled to share a video of the repeatability test performed on our single piece, fully 3d printed, semicryogenic, 1 meter long Agnite engine. Seeing the pressure and temperature plots from the previous test match the same plots from the next test gives amazing confidence to proceed towards stage level testing. With steady progress on clustering electric motor driven engines, single piece engines at larger thrust levels and rapid additive manufacturing, we are getting ever so close to flying these engines on our operational launch vehicles. Thanks to ISRO & IN-SPACe for their constant support and guidance. Of course, none of this is even possible without the help of the entire IIT Madras ecosystem.

How IIT Madras is Changing Global Security The End of Hacking? IIT Madras is spearheading India's push into quantum-secure communications through the IITM-C-DOT Samgnya Technologies Foundation, launched as the National Hub for Quantum Communication under the National Quantum Mission. This initiative aims to make communications "unhackable" by shifting from math-based encryption to physics-based security, countering future quantum computer threats. โ€‹ The hub, inaugurated in December 2025 at IIT Madras Research Park, partners with C-DOT and is funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). It focuses on developing indigenous quantum hardware, QKD networks, quantum repeaters, and satellite-based systems to protect critical infrastructure like AI data centers and defense networks. Traditional encryption relies on complex math that quantum computers will crack in years. QKD uses quantum physics: any eavesdropping alters the quantum state, alerting the system instantly and burning the key. IIT Madras claims an edge in secure transmission over computing leaders like the US and China. โ€‹ The hub builds real-world testbeds, subsidizes hardware for startups, trains experts, and links globally via IITM Global outposts. It positions India to lead in quantum-secure networks for sovereign AI and government use within five years. โ€‹ IIT Madras also runs CyStar, a cybersecurity center advancing quantum security, AI model protection, and IoT defenses since 2024. This aligns with national goals for unhackable comms amid rising cyber threats. Credit : AIM Network.

A minute later, the message is edited โ€” the file is silently replaced with "pdf2.pdf". The timestamp still reads 3:39 PM. Nothing indicates that anything changed. Telegram allows this for up to 48 hours after a message is sent. (He deliberately doesn't show the exact method โ€” responsible disclosure. He's not handing scammers a how-to.)

Reforming the government procurement system is critical to actualising President Bola Tinubu's vision as outlined in the Renewed Hope Agenda. During Mr President's budget presentation to the joint session of the National Assembly in December, he clearly underscored the importance of public service reforms to drive efficiency, transparency, and accountability in public spending. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Adebowale Adedokun, the Director General of the Bureau of Public Procurement. We engaged in an enlightening discussion about the various initiatives and strategic measures underway to propel these critical reforms. Dr. Adedokun offered valuable insights into the challenges inherent in the current procurement framework and the innovative solutions being crafted to align with the administration's objectives. Be sure to stay tuned for the full interview coming out later this week, where we will explore the specifics of these reforms and their substantial impact on the nationโ€™s governance and economic development. #TheTiger #Unfiltered Bureau of Public Procurement Bola Ahmed Tinubu Presidency Nigeria Government of Nigeria State House Abuja, Nigeria

I was happy to receive the "Outstanding Higher Education Stalwart of the Year" award for 2024 from The Economic Times (Economic Times) last night in Delhi. Of course, there is still so much to do. I returned from the US in 1998 to join IIT Bombay (IIT Bombay) as a faculty member. After 25 years in the IIT system (18 years as a faculty member in IIT Bombay and 7 years in IIT Delhi, of which 6 years as the Director of IIT Delhi), I am now with the BITS Pilanii as a group Vice Chancellor since March 2023. All these three institutions happen to be the Institutions of Eminence (IoE) as recognized by the Ministry of Education Ministry of Education, Govt of India. #IIT Delhi received the #IoE status during my time as the Director IIT Delhi following a highly competitive process. Higher education needs major structural #reforms in India. We are archaic when it comes to managing our best institutions. While Public institutions are dependent on Govt of India for 90% of their funding, Private institutions are dependent on tuition fee for 90% of their sustenance. Both are flawed #financial #models. We need to develop a #diversified financial model where endowments, overheads on research and tuition fee contribute an equal share. It requires major #policy tweaks. We need to seriously look at Study Now-Pay Later kind of models on the lines of Australia's HELP scheme. American higher education funding models burden the students with #debt. So much needs to be done in this space in India. Without a proper financial model in place, our institutions are totally at the mercy of bureaucrats and politicians. State #universities are already on their knees and it won't be long before the same happens with our centrally funded Institutions. Industry is the bridge between #research (generation of knowledge) and #innovation (utilization of knowledge for public good). With India ranked 66th among the 130 countries when it comes to academia-industry collaborations, it's clear what we need to do to promote innovation. It's again the Government which needs to make favorable policies for promoting #academia-#industry collaborations. Hope to see some of these #reforms taken up by the new government.

Thanks to the pride of India, BSNL India , Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director of IIT Madras , seamlessly connected via video call using BSNLโ€™s 4G cellular network - right from the rural village of Vishnupuram, Tamil Nadu.

There is no leaked paper for the re-exam. The money is gone the moment you transfer it. Your admit card and WhatsApp number, if you sent them, become the tools they use to scam the next student. 2๏ธโƒฃ Fake "proof" videos showing chats from before the exam. The trick: on Telegram, whoever runs a channel can edit any old message AND change what's inside it, while the date on the message stays the same. So a message edited on the 4th can be made to look exactly like it was sent on the 1st. The full explanation is in the video below โ€” please watch and share with anyone you know who's preparing ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐ŸŽฅ The same trick will be tried again after 21st June. Don't fall for it.
