Foreign Training Opportunities
IIT Kharagpur as an Institute of national repute, has recognized that creating competitive and academically strong graduates alone cannot be its ultimate objective. It is, therefore, one of its premier objectives, to produce students who will demonstrate leadership qualities and will eventually become world leaders in their respective domains. Therefore in order to continue along this trajectory and raise their standards to reach their true potential, students will have to be given the exposure to see, work and experience new places and cultures. International exposure is crucial for a holistic development of an individual and the experience of living and working abroad will be tantamount to this endeavor.
To achieve this goal, International Relations Cell has come up with the Foreign Training Program(FTP). Under this program, IR Cell has initiated the formalization of the foreign training application procedure in collaboration with the Career Development Cell. This will help to streamline and increase the efficiency of the foreign training application procedure at IIT Kharagpur. Moreover it will save the time of students and professors, while giving them a global exposure and research intrinsic experience in their summers.
