In a major push to scale up collaborations between Indian and foreign institutions in higher education, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has reached out to nearly 500 foreign universities, located across the US, UK, Europe and East Asia to boost tie-ups between Indian universities and Foreign Universities.
The commission of UGC plans to hold a meeting with the heads of foreign missions in India to discuss the possibilities of tie-ups for twinning programmes to offer joint degree and dual degree programmes for the students
The University Grants Commission is looking to have an Academic Collaboration between Indian and Foreign Higher Education Institutions to offer Joint Degree, Dual Degree, and Twinning Programmes from this academic year 2022-23.
M Jagadeesh Kumar the chairman for UGC stated that they have sent to the foreign institutions the list of eligible Indian universities with whom MoUs can be signed. He also stated they have not sent the list to any universities in China. Academic collaborations between Indian and foreign institutions in the higher education sector is among the key recommendations of the National Education Policy, 2020.
He further added that work is also underway to pave the way for reputed Indian institutes such as IIT Delhi to set up campuses abroad. A committee under IIT council chairman Dr K Radhakrishnan, formed last December, recently submitted its recommendations for opening offshore campuses of Indian higher educational institutions.
