According to a senior IIT official, IIT will give benefits in three schemes to the students of engineering, maths, and science courses by pursuing undergraduate programs in colleges of Ladakh. The internship will consist of a short-term internship (one and a half to two months) and a long-term internship (six months). Students doing a Diploma in Polytechnic of Ladakh along with graduation can also join this internship.

The application fee for the short-term internship will be Rs 500 and a scholarship of Rs 15,000 will be available.
