Students have the academic flexibility to pursue one entire semester in any of these universities, and any courses pursued/credits earned abroad will be transferred to their IITM grade sheet.
IIT Madras will attempt to get the student a full scholarship for the semester abroad. However, this will depend on the student’s academic, co-curricular, and extracurricular pursuits and performance.
