LEARNING AND EDUCATIONIIIT-Delhi subscribes to the view that a Master’s degree is primarily industry-focused, though it can be used as a stepping stone for research as well. The decision whether the degree is to be pursued for skill and knowledge up-gradation or also for building research skills should rest with the student. The Institute also believes that a student should be given an option of pursuing M.Tech. without assistantship so he/she can focus full time on the program, and possibly finish the program sooner, as compared to a student who is on Assistantship and so has to do part-time work in lieu of that.
The Institute feels that to address the needs of the industry, which today requires more specialized manpower as each field is getting more complex, it is desirable to provide specializations within CSE and ECE in the M.Tech. program. For this, the Institute permits a student to do an “M.Tech” in general or “M.Tech. with specialization”. In 2014, IIIT-Delhi has also started a new program in M.Tech. in Computational Biology (CB), which is an independent program like CSE and ECE.
Every year, during the summer, IIIT-D runs online summer refresher courses for the new incoming M.Tech. students.

PLAGIARISM
IIIT Delhi wishes to maintain global academic standards in its own education system and does not tolerate any form of academic dishonesty. Almost all violations of academic honesty in course submissions (homework assignments, project reports) are instances of plagiarism. Academic dishonesty is displayed when some part(s) of a student’s assignment are someone else’s writing/idea/art (for example a friend, a solution manual, a website), but the student claims it as his/her own by not explicitly making it clear that these parts are someone else’s.
If, for whatever reason, a student has to use some existing work, the student cannot copy and can only borrow. Therefore, it is the student’s responsibility to explicitly indicate which parts are borrowed. A student is allowed to borrow definitions, formulae, figures, one sentence, etc. by (1) attributing it to the original source and (2) making it absolutely clear that the copied part is not the student’s own (a student needs to do both). For more information, please visit http://www.iiitd.ac.in/education/resources/academic-dishonesty
