IIIT-Hyderabad announces Women Education Promotion Scholarships
Hyderabad: iHub-Data, IIIT-Hyderabad has announced Women Education Promotion Scholarships for their 36-week online course on Foundations of Modern Machine Learning (FMML) slated to commence from January 2022.
Under the scheme, all women students who are currently doing undergraduate programmes in BTech will be extended scholarships covering 50 per cent of the course fee, according to a press release.
iHub-Data, Academic Head, Prof. U Deva Priyakumar said the scheme was primarily aimed at empowering women students, especially those hailing from rural areas to join and complete high-tech training courses at affordable rates.
“Increasing participation from rural areas and bridging the gender gap in high-tech research domains are areas of priority, in all training programmes offered by iHub-Data. The first course on FMML had seen almost 50 per cent participation by girl students, who are doing exceptionally well. We are looking at enhancing this ratio, as some of these niche deep-tech training areas are ideally suited for women,” Prof. Deva said.
The last date for registration to the course is December 25. The 36-week course is designed to augment the efforts of training, placement and higher-studies for undergraduate students pursuing four-year engineering programmes in the CSE, ECE, EEE or allied domains, and align them to the needs of industry or research in deep-tech areas like machine learning.
Participants who complete the programme will be awarded a certificate of merit from the institute. Course fees for general candidates is fixed at Rs.10,000 and for all eligible women-candidates it will be Rs.5,000.
