IIT DELHI

As a part of DIC, IIT Delhi has launched three design and innovation schemes for students and faculty -
1. DISA (Design Innovation Summer Award)
Summer Internship for UG students under the mentorship of faculty are offered to students who would like to
engage in product design and innovation activities addressing specific needs of industry/people/society.
2. DITSG (Design Innovation Translational Seed Grant)
IIT Delhi has introduced these grants to bridge gap between a successful proof-ofconcept prototype/solution and
a market ready prototype or market deployable solution. Small seed grants are given to faculty to work with
students on innovation projects.
3. DIF (Design Innovation Fellowship)
IIT Delhi has introduced pre incubation fellowships for students who would like to continue with the institute
beyond their graduation and work towards translational research and / or commercialization of their innovations
/ products. Students get monthly fellowship every month up to one year under this fellowship.

Following table shows faculty and students benefitted by these schemes during
three years (2015-2017)
