The High Commission of India, Dhaka has announced that the Indian government would provide opportunity for meritorious students from Bangladesh to pursue engineering education in the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) across India, both at the undergraduate and post graduate levels. Accordingly, a delegation from IITs visited Dhaka and Chittagong last week.
The primary objective of the visit was to make the students of Bangladesh aware about the education system of IITs, and also to apprise them about how to get admitted to an IIT. The delegation will also survey and prepare for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) which is planned to be conducted in Bangladesh as well in 2017. The JEE (advanced) 2017 will be conducted in May’ 2017 and GATE, 2017 will be conducted in the first and second weekends of February. Online application portal for GATE 2017 will be active from September 1 to October 4′ 2016.
The IITs have a common admission process for undergraduate admissions, called IIT Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE), which was replaced by Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) in 2013. The post-graduate level program that awards M.Tech, MS degrees in engineering is administered by the older IITs (Kharagpur, Bombay, Madras, Kanpur, Delhi, Dhanbad, Roorkee, Varanasi, Guwahati). M.Tech and MS admissions are done on the basis of Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE).
Consequently, the visiting IIT delegation mainly addressed two groups of students separately.
Group-A comprising of students studying in Class-XI and Class-XII (higher secondary) in schools/colleges (target audience for JEE 2017), and Group-B comprising students studying in Engineering Colleges and are in the final year of their program (target audience for GATE 2017).
During their two day visit to Dhaka, the IIT delegation conducted five interactive sessions across in various educational institutions including the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), The American International University of Bangladesh (AIUB), DPS STS School and the Aga Khan School respectively.
All the sessions were well received by students as well as faculty members who actively participated in the sessions and appreciated India’s decision to open up its premier educational institution to Bangladeshi students.
