Lakhs of students appear for different entrance examinations every year for various degree programs in order to get admission into the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) but a few of them only make it to the premier institution.
In order to give the experience of IIT culture to students who could not make it to the IITs, Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) has been offering non-degree programmes since last decade.
The programme is available at various levels for students including Engineering, Sociology, Development Studies and more and it helps students pursue part-time or full-time courses and spend an entire semester at IITGN for undertaking research, projects and participate in various internship at the institute.
The main objective is to give a chance to the deserving students to be introduced to the IIT systems, which is otherwise not possible for a large number of students owing to the cut-throat competition in entrance examinations. Hence, the students are no longer restricted to qualifying JEE or GATE to learn from the culture of an IIT,” Sudhir K Jain, director, IITGN said to Times Of India.
