How It Works

• Applicants are invited to apply via online application form.
• Each selected candidate will be paired with at least two industrial liaisons. Over the course of the program, mentees will benefit from a series of about 8 one-on-one mentorship sessions taking place online, or in person.
• All selected mentees will be required to attend an orientation session at the beginning of the program where they will be introduced to their liaisons. This session will also be an opportunity to learn about “best practices” in mentorship relationships, as well as other programs available through the academic research track (ART) platform, under the banner of ITC India.
• This one-year mentoring relationship is intended for July 2022 to June 2023. will be extended based on the liaisons’ s recommendation, along with main guide discretion.
• Mentoring conversations should focus on research advice, professional advancement, publishing/funding strategies, and facilitating contacts.
• Mentees should not offer or be requested to carry out work for the Industrial liaisons, and the engagement should be in line with the current research focus of the mentees.
• If appropriate and by mutual agreement, Industry liaisons may also serve as official co-guide/Research-Advisory-Committee at the main guide discretion.
• Industrial Liaisons may be invited for in-person activities at the academic institutes for additional discussions, lectures, tutorials, and future research activities that can be explored by any of the students of the respective departments.
