Here’s the thing, IIPE isn’t open to just anyone. You must be a regular student (no distance mode) in specific semesters:
CGPA requirements depend on your institute’s standing:
Students with backlogs or any disciplinary action are not eligible. I’ve seen promising applicants lose out because they ignored this clause – don’t make that mistake.
Funding comes in three flavors:
Living, hostel, and transport expenses are on you. Honestly, the stipend covers a decent chunk if you’re careful with spending.
The Department-wise SIP Selection Committee considers:
Each faculty can take only 2 interns, so faculty preference matters but isn’t guaranteed.
You’ll start on 11 May 2026. After 4 weeks, there’s a mid-programme review with feedback. At 8 weeks, you’ll do a poster presentation, submit your report, and complete feedback forms. Completion certificates are awarded only if you finish all requirements.
Pre-final year students in B.E./B.Tech, M.Sc./M.S./M.Tech, or dual degree programmes meeting CGPA and percentage criteria.
Rs 500, non-refundable, payable via SBI Collect.
Yes, Rs 10,000 for Institute or Project Funded interns. Self-funded interns receive no stipend.
Yes, you can indicate preference, but final allocation depends on availability.
Research work, mid-programme review, poster presentation, report submission, and certificate upon completion.
