Under the Ishaan scheme, 2,000 students and 500 faculty members from the North-East will be offered stay, food and travel, free of cost, by the Centre to find out career options or further studies in IITs, IIMs, all central universities and ISRO.
Under the Credit Transfer Framework of Equivalence, students from Class 9 to post-graduation can benefit from credit transfer, even if they break their studies mid-way due to jobs. "This will be a seamless credit transfer involving all central universities, and the student's work time at his place of job will be accounted for in the credit", said Irani.
