Sardar Patel University (SPU)’s MoU with Pennsylvania State University
Studying in Pennsylvania State University (PSU), one of the top ten universities in the US, will no longer be a dream for many in Gujarat.
Sardar Patel University (SPU) at Vallabh Vidyanagar has signed an MoU with PSU through which it will offer a five-year integrated course in masters in information science and technology. The MoU between the two universities was signed at the recently concluded Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit 2009.
This is the first academic collaboration signed by an educational institute from the state with PSU. The course will be offered from the new academic year with an initial intake of over 65 student out of which 24 will get a chance to complete their degree at PSU after finishing two years at SPU. The students for this course will be selected on the basis of Class 12 results and the fee structure will be designed by SPU authorities.
“Through this collaboration, our students will now study the same course as taught in PSU. Even after completion of the course, PSU will help in offering on-campus recruitment. The entire course will be conducted in tandem with PSU management,” said SPU’s vice-chancellor BG Patel.
PSU will monitor academic sessions, examination process, faculty selection to evaluating performances of the students. It will then select 24 students who will get to complete their course at their university.
“As part of the collaboration, we would be sharing our syllabus and there would be teachers’ exchange programme. We will also explore research collaboration with PSU and exchange academic publications as well,” said SPU’s registrar B Natraj.
The syllabus for first two years has been prepared based on the one offered at PSU. “Through this collaboration, it will be easier for students to study at PSU. Those enrolled into the course will get global advantage as the curriculum will be designed keeping in mind international requirement,” added Natraj.
