All
courses will be delivered as continuing education course of IIT Madras.
IIT Madras will work out an opportunity of revenue as generated from the
courses towards lecture and lab fees, overheads to IITM and towards center
maintenance and upgradation. ADI does not expect any share of the revenue.
The
program will be reviewed at the end of three years and ADI would be expected
to provide periodic upgrades of tools, equipements and PCs.
IITM
