To encourage students to take interest in research at early-stage augurs well for the institution in building a robust research pool of talented students. IIT Hyderabad (IITH) proposed to set up an Award for "Research Excellence" to be given annually for one B.Tech student in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department who is excellent in research area during their academic period.
The amount required to set up the endowment is Rs. 5.0 Lakhs ($ 7,000). The chosen awardee will be given an award money of Rs. 25,000 and a citation.
One of our alumni named Mr. Sajal Sagar Singh (2016) has set up this Research Excellence Award Endowment in the year 2021.
Selection Criteria
- IITH will set up a process of inviting applications, evaluating the applicants and choosing the winner, through a committee.
- The donor can name the endowment.
- A committee of eminent faculty from IITH will be formed who will evaluate the entries and determine the Best B.Tech student in research area.
Validity of the naming Right
The naming rights are offered for a period of 10 years. In the event of the endowment amount being insufficient due to lower yields, the institute would approach the donor for a top up fund.
