IIT Guwahati To Set Up JEE Centre In Bhutan

IIT Guwahati will set up a centre in Bhutan to prepare the students there for the JEE examination for admission to engineering institutes in India.

The centre will also encourage the students to join the IITs in India, said IIT Guwahati director Prof T G Sitharam. He was speaking after a pact was signed with Sherubste College under the Royal University of Bhutan for exchange of teaching and research experience between the two institutes.

“With the signing of the terms of reference, IIT Guwahati will set up a Joint Entrance Examination centre in Bhutan to encourage students from Bhutan to join the IITs in India. We also encourage students from Bhutan to undertake full-time programmes or work as research interns in various departments at IIT Guwahati.”

The visiting Bhutanese delegation met various other faculty and officials of IIT-G during their visit to the campus. They also visited the IIT’s Centre for Environment, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Centre for Education Technology and the Centre of Energy. The delegation expressed a keen desire to send their faculty for higher studies in IIT Guwahati.
