IITs open online courses, research internships to students from outside

IIT Madras is offering a two-month summer fellowship programme for students from outside the IITs

Do not fret if you do not secure admission into an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). The massive open online course (MOOC) system offered a glimpse into their curriculum and the IITs are gradually opening doors to outside students for high-quality research on their campus.

The IITs at Madras, Gandhinagar and Kharagpur have been taking steps to draw students from other institutes and universities into their summer internship programmes for a couple of months and work with their top faculty members.

Among these, IIT Madras and IIT Gandhinagar run structured programmes where applications are invited from candidates outside campus.
