NIIT University (NU), a leading knowledge campus, today announced a strategic pact with the University of Indianapolis (UINDY) for expanding educational and research opportunities for NU students. The MoU positions NU in its quest for innovation in higher education towards emerging fields. It provides avenues to NU students to experience global exposure through advanced programs and research initiatives by UINDY.
This partnership will make opportunities for education and research possible among the students and faculty of both institutions. The graduate students of NU as per need, will now be allowed to take semester-long internships or research projects at UINDY, options extended up to one year. Moreover, any BTech and BBA student at NU is also eligible to be a part of the research internship called UINDY, which can last from six months to one year, thereafter continuing for on-site Corporate MBA, following their academic qualification. Similarly, any undergraduate degree from any field at NU is also eligible to join UINDY's Corporate MBA.
The faculty from the two universities will be able to collaborate on research work and together organize conferences. UINDY will offer courses unique for the university, which can be delivered onsite or online for terms that run a year long. UINDY students will have the ability to participate in a residential immersion program in India undertaken by NU as part of enrichment cultural and educational experiences, while NU students will have the ability to participate in a U.S. immersion program at UINDY.
As NIIT University, now on the threshold of its 14th Convocation and yet on the threshold of a new partnership with a strong global player like Pearson, this definitely is one of the most defining milestones for the organisation as regards preparing students with an international perspective so that they could be relevant in an increasingly interconnected world, stated Prof. Prakash Gopalan, President, NIIT University. He said, 'Over this period, we will be celebrating our graduates but are also excited about the future possibilities that this collaboration will open up for enriching their further academic experiences and career prospects.
UINDY President Prof. Tanuja Singh "Both our institutions are committed to building leaders who excel in their respective disciplines and are a good global citizen. We are pleased to join hands with NIIT University to help the students spend part of their educational and research experiences with innovative programs from other countries in the growth of innovation and future leadership".
