In line with a latest norm by the University Grants Commission (UGC) permitting academic collaboration between Indian and foreign universities, the Mahatma Gandhi university, Kottayam is all set to announce a series of international education programmes.
A draft resolution on the proposal on academic collaboration with the foreign educational institutions will be presented by the MGU Vice chancellor Sabu Thomas during a meeting of the varsity academic council on Wednesday. The proposal, to be prepared within the framework of the UGC regulation, envisages opening twinning and semester abroad programmes with the foreign varsities.
Commenting on the initiative, MGU Vice Chancellor Sabu Thomas said the objective was to offer the students an opportunity to acquire multi-disciplinary education for an internationally relevant career.
