Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG)

Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) annually invites the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur to select a small number of students to attend a short course for 8 weeks (undergrads) and 11 weeks (postgrads) at the University of Warwick. Events take place either virtually or on-site. Participants will carry out an individual research project that is related to the degree course for which they are registered. The purpose is to develop the research skills of the students in an industrially focused environment, encourage collaboration with WMG and encourage the development of nascent research ideas and to build the research profiles of WMG and IITKGP. In the past, supervisors have benefitted greatly from the work carried out by their students through contributions to publications and successful grant applications.

To propose a project, supervisors at IIT Kharagpur and WMG are required to jointly :

  • Assess its feasibility for the degree
  • Agree to support and supervise a student

Once agreed, the WMG supervisor will submit an abstract of the project for suitability and how it fits with WMG’s research direction. As a result, the abstract should be short, concise (no longer than 400 words) and contain the following:

  • A description of the work, including details such as materials used, type of numerical methods and test methods.
  • Names of supervisors from WMG and IIT
  • Specify if it is a BTech, UG Dual or a MTech project
  • A brief description of potential impact, particularly if it could lead to a PhD project.

Timeline

The programme runs every year between May and July for the BTech students and June and September for the MTech students.

Process Deadline
Typical closing date for call for proposals 2nd week of March each year
IITKGP students for the Programme will be identified by Early May
The final selection are typically announced by April

Call for applications along with application guidelines are released around February every year.
