According to a TOI report, senior officials of the institute said with time, the programme will be extended to more students studying across various schools.
Pritha Chandra, associate dean of academic outreach and new initiatives told TOI, “This programme is meant for high school girls only with an aim of having an extended interaction between these students and the faculty members. The schools have nominated each of the 10 students who have already decided their stream of study. They were given a bunch of topics that are offered here and accordingly faculty members were allotted as their mentors.”
