IIT Kharagpur short-term courses with international faculty


Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur will now be offering short term courses for students of other colleges as well as for those having completed their education. Aspirants will have an opportunity to study at IIT Kharagpur from an international faculty.

While talking to PTI, IIT Kharagpur officials said that the International Summer and Winter Term (ISWT) will run each year during May-July.

By bringing together participants and faculty from India and abroad, the program will not only be academically stimulating but also offer an opportunity to make new friends and interact with about 30 international experts, they said.  

These subjects are designed around current and multi-disciplinary themes of science, engineering, management and law, the officials said, adding, the duration of each course is of two weeks or ten working days with a judicious blend of lectures and tutorials per day.

They said participants can be even from the industry and research organizations.

Students registered for these courses will have the opportunity to obtain additional academic credits based on evaluation and grading process, they added.

IIT Kharagpur currently has 19 academic departments, eight multi-disciplinary centres/schools, and 13 schools of excellence in addition to laboratories and central research facilities. A few short term courses are available under the Quality Improvement Programme (QIP), however they are largely distance education courses.
