Singapore's Nanyang Technological University is expanding its research partnerships with top Indian universities
Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University is searching at enhancing its research and academic partnerships with top Indian universities, Tim White, Vice President, International Engagement. “The most significant institutional collaborations NTU has are with IIT Madras and IISC Bangalore where through the generosity of an endowment from Kris Gopalakrishnan, 50 Indian Ph.D. scholars will be trained at NTU,” said White.
“Other important collaborations are under development with the All India Institute of Medicine (AIIMS), Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), and the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII),” he added. “For many years, NTU has sponsored an India Connect program that has allowed Indian undergraduates to have short-term research attachments in Singapore. There are numerous direct partnerships between NTU and Indian professors across science, engineering, social sciences, and humanities fields,” said White. India is one of the largest strategic markets for NTU Singapore. “Indian students are highly sought after by NTU faculty and researchers. The long historical and cultural ties between the countries, together with their geographical proximity, are readymade for partnership,” he said. “Educational collaboration is also a component of the wider narrative of Singapore being a larger source of direct foreign investment in India.”
On being inquired to explain how the institute facilitates Indian students to get jobs locally in Singapore, particularly at a time when the global macroeconomic uncertainty and the headwinds is impacting the employment prospects of entry-level talent, White said: “In Singapore, some 250 firms have laboratories on the campus. All students have the opportunity to serve as interns with these companies.” “Experience has shown that internships have a high conversion to employment after graduation. In addition, NTU actively trains capable students in entrepreneurship that could allow graduates to start their own firm in Singapore to serve the ASEAN and Indian markets,” he added.
