OFFERS

Master’s Degree Programs in India since 1997

Illinois Institute of Technology ,Chicago, Illinois, USA (“IIT-C”) has been offering Professional

Master’s Degree Programs in India since 1997. Students pursuing the Master’s program in India get the

same degrees as on-campus students, with similar placement opportunities. The programs fill a higher

education gap, providing advanced education for working professionals / fresh graduates. Engineers

from more than 50 companies in India, such as Motorola, Oracle, Honeywell, Sasken, Philips, Wipro,

Infosys, Agere systems, Juniper networks, Qualcomm, Godrej, Kirloskar(KBL), Tech Mahindra,

Robert Bosch, Tataelxsi, Kawasaki, Samsung, Cognizant, Karmic, Cisco, ARM,HP etc have been

enrolling regularly. So far about 400 engineers have completed their Master’s and obtained the

Master’s degrees from IIT-C while studying in India. The programs, which are conveniently offered

and economically priced are rigorous and can benefit fresh bachelor’s degree graduates, working

professionals as well as the companies.

Brief History

IIT-C, founded in 1890 in Chicago, is a Ph.D.-granting university that awards undergraduate and

graduate degrees in Engineering, The sciences, Mathematics, Architecture, Business , Psychology and

only graduate degrees in Design & Law. The university is known for its research and its interaction

with industries. Since 1976, IIT-C has been using multimedia classroom teaching technologies to teach

advanced courses to remote students at employer sites in the Chicago area. With approval of the

Government of India, IIT-C established a wholly owned subsidiary, Illinois Institute of Technology

India Private Limited (IITIPL) in 1998 and began offering a few Master’s / Certificate programs of the

Chicago campus to remote students in India. Now via streamed video on the Internet IIT-C offers more

than a two dozen master’s degree and certificate programs to fresh graduates and working professionals

in India.

Accreditation: Illinois Institute of Technology is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of

the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (http://www.ncahlc.org/) in the USA. Specific

professional curricula are also accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission and the

Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology

(ABET).

Master’s Degree Programs

Each of the following programs consists of 10-11courses (called Subjects in India).Students who lack

pre-requisites, will be required to complete those prior to taking advanced courses.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY AND EXAMINATIONS

All Courses are taught by professors on the Chicago campuses, using E learning technologies. Classes

as held for On-Campus students are recorded and made available to students in India through Internet

within 24-48 hours. Students may download lecture notes or slides prior to viewing the lectures online.

Generally professors will deliver one lecture of 3 hours per course in a week. In total, there will be 14 -

16 lectures per course in each semester. In summer terms, which are only 6-10 weeks, lectures are

delivered more frequently. In most courses, homework and projects are due throughout the semester,

and students in India must meet the same deadlines as those in Chicago campus. In addition, most

courses have at least two exams—one at the mid semester and Final at the end of the semester All

4

examinations and assignments, including projects, are evaluated by the professors in Chicago. In the

course syllabi, professors explain the grading philosophy followed in their courses. Registered students

view the lectures by logging onto to Blackboard through “my.iit.edu” portal, even while traveling.

They can replay the lectures as often as they wish during the semester. If they have questions, students

can email or call professors or teaching assistants. Chats and audio or video conferences may also be

organized. Occasionally “live-on-site” seminars, short-courses, or lectures may be organized when a

professor from IIT (Chicago) visits India. Students who are admitted to an IIT Chicago Master’s

program may complete all of their courses in India or in Chicago, or partly in India and partly in

Chicago

Special Features of above Master’s Degree Programs offered by IIT-Chicago are: -

1. On Campus Option :- Admitted Students may ask for I-20 & take F-1 visa and go to

Chicago Campus in USA

2. Online Option: - Admitted students may complete their degree programs entirely (online)

in India following the same semester schedule and syllabi as those in campus but attending

lectures asynchronously via streamed video on the Internet and submitting homework to

professors in Chicago via email, ftp or, in the case of presentations, via PC conferencing..

Conventional Exams (paper pen) are given in India (QP from Chicago) and graded in

Chicago.

3. Hybrid (Online + On Campus at Chicago) option – Admitted master’s students may

begin studies in India and move to the Main Campus in Chicago to complete their degree

programs

4. Eligibility criteria for admission to a specific IIT-C degree program are the same for all

students regardless of the location of the students (Details given below). Admission

decisions are made by the professors in Chicago.

5. Courses offered for India program and Campus are the same.

6. Teaching Methodology in Campus at Chicago / India is the same. At Chicago, Lectures

conducted for class room students are live telecast to remote students in various classrooms

spread over an area of 30 Miles radius from Campus. The very same lectures are made

available on Internet for students in India and other countries. Students in India and campus

at Chicago do the same Assignments, Projects, and Examinations etc. Only faculty

concerned at Chicago will evaluate all these.

7. Degrees awarded to students in Chicago and India are the same.

8. India students may attend the commencement ceremony(convocation) in Chicago

9. Placement opportunities are similar.

10. The total tuition fee for TEN courses (subjects) of Master’s Program in India is US $

11,040/- to be paid in installments @ US $ 1,104/ per course of 3 credits where as the

tuition fee at Chicago is US $ 34,200/ to be paid in installments @ US $ 3420 / per course of
