Students of B.Tech (CSE) have shown their interest in a semester exchange at IIT Jammu. As a part of the latest development, JKLU has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with IIT Jammu. Pertinent to mention here that student mobility within India is rather limited. In the direction of changing that, the National Education Policy (NEP-2020) strongly encourages universities to consider credits earned from other universities for giving a degree.

As per a statement issued by JKLU, the Indian Institute of Technology, Jammu has unmatched innovations in curriculum. They take pride in their student-centric philosophy and provide an empowering environment for them. The institute promotes critical thinking and an appreciation of the interdisciplinary character of knowledge, with an emphasis on the liberal arts, project-oriented learning, compulsory courses in design and the life sciences, diversity and globalization.

“JKLU’s signing up of MoU’s with IITs for semester exchange is an effort in the spirit of NEP2020, according to the varsity officials. 25 to 30% of students of JKLU have studied in IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad and foreign universities before. Under the latest MoU, JKLU students can study in IIT Jammu with immediate effect, and for this a fixed procedure has been made. This will provide another level of exposure to our students as we fulfil our promise of providing the best possible education to them. Such initiatives help students to stand out during placements. Students often gain a tremendous sense of accomplishment upon completion encourages students to develop independent opinions, make informed decisions and strive to attain fresh goals,” said Prof Dheeraj Sanghi, Vice Chancellor, JK Lakshmipat University.
