The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has opened the undergraduate summer research fellowship registration window. Students from various engineering institutes (excluding IITs) in India and abroad who have completed at least two years of study and are among the top ten in their respective programs or branches will be eligible to apply. The official website for applying to the fellowship is academics.iitd.ac.in/srf/login.
The IIT Delhi fellowship can be completed in eight to twelve weeks between May 14 and July 12. The application link will remain active until March 20 (5 p.m.). The list of candidates chosen for the fellowship will be released in the second week of April.
The fellowship will cover the cost of travel (train-sleeper class only) within the country to and from IIT Delhi. Stay at the institute campus during the visits, including boarding and lodging facilities, which will also be provided to the ones shortlisted for the fellowship. Rs 500 per week will also be given as a fellowship amount.
While the students will be registered as visiting students at IIT Delhi, they will not be required to pay the institute's registration fee. The selected student must obtain insurance against any unforeseen circumstances during his or her stay at this institute. According to IIT Delhi, the student will pay the insurance premiums, which should cover accidents and accidental deaths.
During the application process, students must upload a no-objection certificate (PDF format) from their parent institution stating the start and end dates for full-time research work at IIT Delhi under the fellowship.
