MUMBAI: Exchange of students between the IITs – a long-pending proposal – is finally to be implemented between three of the older institutes.
On the lines of the foreign semester exchange programme, the IITs in the city, Delhi and Roorkee will launch the inter-IIT exchange programme from the autumn semester of 2017-18.
Interested students will be able to spend a semester at the host institutes to gain access to the centres of excellence in other IITs. This is the first time that the IITs are collaborating for academic purposes.
