About the Program
IITM is desirous of creating joint master’s programs (JMPs) with reputed foreign universities. Typically, a university with which it creates such a program will be comparable with IITM in terms of size of its faculty, scope of its research,master’s degree program, infrastructure, and quality of research output. In some cases, IITM may enter into a joint master’s program with a university specifically in certain areas/departments in which the university is at par with IITM, even if the university as a whole is not comparable in some aspects.
The JMP program offers a Master’s candidate the opportunity to pursue his Master’s studies at two institutions who have a JMP-MOU. On successful completion of the JMP, the candidate gets a joint Masters’ degree from both the institutions.
IITM currently has JMP agreements with 2 foreign universities.
Eligibility
- Masters students enrolled at a foreign university which has a JMP agreement with IITM.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
- Students interested in getting admitted into the JMP will first be selected to the Masters programs at a partner Institute following its own selection procedures.
- The collaborating faculty from both the institutes will then select the JMP scholars from among the students selected into the individual Master’s programs at either Institute. This subsequent joint selection will be carried out within six months of the student enrolling in the Master program.
- Students who are admitted into the JMP program, will have collaborating faculty members who selected them as their guides/supervisors.
- The guide at the Home Institute will be the main guide and the other from IITM will be the student’s co-guide.
