Through the fellowship, students of IIIT Delhi will receive the full cost of their education, including living expenses reimbursement, and also gain first-hand industry experience on live projects and R&D, while continuing their regular academic studies, the institute said.
“The IIIT-Delhi MTech students who get the sponsorship are referred to as Vehant fellows and each fellowship implies a commitment of Rs 10 lakh through Vehant technologies over a period of two years of their academic training. The fund can be used flexibly for all research and academic purposes.
