** Financial support documents (international students only):
Immigration regulations stipulate that financial support documents must be no more than six months old at the time an I-20 is issued. If your financial support documents have expired at the time your admission decision is made, you will be asked to submit new documents. Applicants may submit their financial support documents after being notified of admission; however, please note that an I-20 cannot be issued to an admitted student until valid documents have been received and approved by the Office of Graduate Admission. Photocopied, scanned, or faxed documents cannot be accepted.

IIT accepts proof of financial support in either of the following two formats:

1) Original bank statement showing the required amount in your bank account. The statement must be on the bank's letterhead and bear the bank official's signature and stamp (bank seal). If someone is sponsoring your education, you must additionally submit a notarized letter from your sponsor confirming their plans to pay for your education.

2) Bank official's signature and bank seal on IIT's Financial Support Form. Please read all instructions carefully to ensure that each required section of the form is complete.
