IIT council is scheduled to have a meeting next week, in which the HRD ministry will propose a new research scholar scheme to identify 1,000 bright BTech students from premier engineering colleges, like IITs, to be given direct admission into PhD programmes.
"BTech passouts from IITs who have job experience and are interested in research should be enrolled in PhD," a source told TNN.

Government is also considering hefty scholarships to students who opt for PhD after engineering. "It will not be big enough to compensate the salary a IIT student gets after BTech but it will probably be among the highest," one official said.
