This academic and research initiative will offer collaborative Master’s and PhD programmes, providing students with opportunities for dual mentorship, access to world-class resources, and immersion in the academic ecosystems of two world-class institutions.
The programme may start with a dual degree initiative for research purpose and may evolve as a Joint institute over a period of time once the necessary approvals are received from both the senate and government.

Kedare, Director of IIT Bombay, exchanged the MOU with the Prof Teiji Tominaga, President of Tohoku University, Japan marking a new chapter in their enduring partnership.
