The last date to submit the application is March 2, 2026, by 5:00 PM IST.
The IIT Madras Summer Fellowship Programme 2026 is exclusively open for currently enrolled students at the institute. Experienced professionals are not eligible, as the program is designed to foster research interest among students before they graduate.

Integrated/Dual Degree Students: Currently in the 3rd or 4th year of their program.
The application process requires candidates to pay a non-refundable fee of Rs. 100 through online payment methods, which include UPI, net banking, and debit or credit cards.
Register: Create your profile on the official portal using your email ID.
Upload Documents: The applicant must provide PDF or JPEG soft copies of their Bonafide Certificate and consolidated mark sheets from Class 10 onwards, Aadhaar card, and a recent passport-size photo.
The online form must be completed and submitted before the deadline. The process is entirely digital, as there is no need to submit documents physically.
If any applicant has university ranks, seminars, design contests, or digital projects, they can submit these as well to strengthen their candidature.
