Facilities Offered to Admitted Students

The PGDSD programme is designed to enable candidates from socially and economically disadvantaged sections of society to experience high-quality education and training from IIITB, a leading and renowned institution, through its collaboration with Infosys Foundation. Several facilities are offered to the admitted students for the duration of the programme. These are:

1.    Free High Quality Education: The admission and tuition fees that IIITB usually charges for all its degree and extension education programs will be waived completely for the students. Thus the students will receive high-quality education at IIITB completely free. 

2.    Stipend: In addition to free high quality education at IIITB, the admitted students will receive Rs. 7,000/= (Rupees Seven Thousand only) as stipend every month for a period of 9 months, the entire duration of the programme. This stipend is primarily provided to take care of living expenses during the programme at Bangalore.

No accommodation is provided and students would have to make their own arrangements for stay at Bangalore for the duration of the programme. The institute, if requested, may help in finding accommodation close to the institute. 

3.   Food & Refreshment: Students will be provided refreshment (tea) free of cost once in the forenoon and once in the afternoon on all working days during the programme. Lunch will also be served free of cost on all working days. 

4.     Laptop and Development Tools: A laptop will be made available to each student for the duration of the programme, along with the necessary learning and development tools. It is expected that the student takes good care of the equipment loaned to him for the duration of the programme and return back to IIITB in good, working condition at the end of the programme. 

5.    Learning, Practice & Assessment Resources: To support strong “learn by doing” methodologies, practice and assessment, students will be provided unlimited access to a high-quality learning, practice and assessment resources portal at no cost to the student as a part of the programme. 

6.    Internet: All students will be provided access to the high-speed Internet facilities on the IIITB campus through wired Internet in classes/labs and also WiFi.

8.       Stationery: Students will be provided required stationery free of cost during the programme. 

9.    Additional Competency Development Workshops: Apart from the structured curriculum of the PGDSD programme, students will have access to additional competency development workshops on getting prepared for placement preparation activities. These services are also offered free to all students. 

10.   Placement Services:  The programme focuses on competency development in students. IIITB firmly believes that students who develop strong competencies would receive placement offers from companies simply on the basis of their competencies. Placement services will be offered to all students who fulfill the minimum requirements for completing PGDSD. Opportunities for placement will be created through campus interviews as well as off-campus events. No additional fee will be charged to the students.

The main idea of offering a range of free facilities to the students is to enable the students to focus on learning, practice and development of competencies without any distractions.
