Masters Degree Programs in India since 1997

Illinois Institute of Technology ,Chicago, Illinois, USA (IIT-C) has been offering Professional Masters Degree Programs in India since 1997. Students pursuing the Masters program in India get the same degrees as on-campus students, with similar placement opportunities. The programs fill a higher education gap, providing advanced education for working professionals / fresh graduates. Engineers from more than 50 companies in India, such as Motorola, Oracle, Honeywell, Sasken, Philips, Wipro, Infosys, Agere systems, Juniper networks, Qualcomm, Godrej, Kirloskar(KBL), Tech Mahindra, Robert Bosch, Tataelxsi, Kawasaki, Samsung, Cognizant, Karmic, Cisco, ARM,HP etc have been enrolling regularly. So far about 400 engineers have completed their Masters and obtained the Masters degrees from IIT-C while studying in India. The programs, which are conveniently offered and economically priced are rigorous and can benefit fresh bachelors degree graduates, working professionals as well as the companies. Brief History IIT-C, founded in 1890 in Chicago, is a Ph.D.-granting university that awards undergraduate and graduate degrees in Engineering, The sciences, Mathematics, Architecture, Business , Psychology and only graduate degrees in Design & Law. The university is known for its research and its interaction with industries. Since 1976, IIT-C has been using multimedia classroom teaching technologies to teach advanced courses to remote students at employer sites in the Chicago area. With approval of the Government of India, IIT-C established a wholly owned subsidiary, Illinois Institute of Technology India Private Limited (IITIPL) in 1998 and began offering a few Masters / Certificate programs of the Chicago campus to remote students in India. Now via streamed video on the Internet IIT-C offers more than a two dozen masters degree and certificate programs to fresh graduates and working professionals in India. Accreditation: Illinois Institute of Technology is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (http://www.ncahlc.org/) in the USA. Specific professional curricula are also accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission and the Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
