The National Institute of Technology (NIT) Sikkim has recently established a supercomputer 'Param Kanchenjunga', which is said to be fastest among all 31 NITs, an official said.
"It is aimed to help in research and academics. Since NIT Sikkim has research areas like climate modelling etc., the supercomputer would aid in these fields as well.

The supercomputer was established jointly with C-DAC - Pune last week at a cost of Rs.3 crore, said Wandhekar.
