Contributions to establish the Institute Gold Medals
The Institute is delighted to invite the participation of Alumni and Well-wishers to establish the award of Gold Medals to the best outgoing student in each discipline. Several disciplines have medals sponsored by eminent alumni and academicians. A few programmes listed below do not have a sponsor yet. To sponsor a perpetual Gold medal that will be given every year, an endowment of INR 10 Lakhs is required. The medal could be named after the donor or an alumnus or an eminent academic in consultation with the Institute.
The selection process will be as per the Institute guidelines. Only one Gold Medal will be awarded per programme.
Following is the list of gold medals that are open for contributions:
