The government will actively support an academic collaboration between Digital University Kerala (DUK) and the University of Oxford.
The State Budget has earmarked ₹10 crore to fund “State-specific scholarships” that will be introduced in association with Oxford University. Students who complete postgraduation at DUK can enrol for PhD programmes at Oxford University under the scheme, provided they return to Kerala and contribute towards the development of the State for three years after completing their studies.
