US vice-president Joe Biden today described the premier IIT – Bombay  as "one of the leading" technology institute in the world.

"I have been extremely impressed. This is a great university, one of the leading universities in the world in the field of technology," he said after visiting various laboratories and interacting with students on the campus.
