Students of IIT, Kharagpur will now be able to study abroad, as a part of the 'Semester Away Programme'.
After the completion of this programme, students will be able to opt for a semester or two at any foreign or Indian university before they complete their course. The course fee for the SAP will have to be arranged by the students.
PK Das, dean of IIT-Kharagpur's post-graduate programme said, "A student will be able to choose an institution in India or abroad and a course offered by them. They will choose the course, take the approval of the faculty and apply."
"The university does not necessarily have to be one we have an MoU (memorandum of understanding) with. If chosen, the students will be able to go there for one or a maximum of two semesters," he added.
Criterion - At the UG level, a student would have to complete four semesters with a CGPA of more than 7 (with no backlog) in order to be eligible provided there are no disciplinary action pending against him/her. A PG candidate will have to complete two semesters (4 semesters for MMST students) with a CGPA more than 7(with no backlog) and no pending disciplinary action.
On successful completion of the programme, students will stand the chance of getting their credits at IIT-KGP waived against the credits earned through SAP. It will depend on the courses they opt for. However, if a student chooses a course for which he cannot get his credits waived, he will be allowed to complete the pending semesters at IIT-KGP within an additional six months.
Application deadline for theautumn semester is March 31 and for the spring semester July 31.
