VIT signs MoU with six European and UK Universities
The Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with six top European and UK Universities.
These universities include the Leibniz University of Hannover; University of Stuttgart, Germany; Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden; Dublin City University, Ireland; City University of London and Cranfield University, UK for exchange programmes for faculty and students.
They would also jointly organise conferences, workshops, training programmes and symposia, and the initiation of joint-funded research programmes. VIT founder and chancellor G. Viswanathan, recently signed the MoUs on behalf of VIT with the rectors and presidents of the respective European institutions.
“VIT is happy to be a partner of these renowned European and UK institutions because it shared common subject areas for research and development,” he said. During the visit, he also met the Indian Ambassador to Ireland Akhilesh Mishra at the Indian Embassy in Dublin to establish academic and research co-operation with the Irish Higher Education Institutions and industries in the areas of engineering and technology.
Sumit Nagal attained the 77th place in ATP rankings. As per the established criteria, the top 56 players, both in men’s and women’s rankings, will attain automatic qualification for the Olympics but no more than four per country can make the cut for the Games, a rule which allows lower ranked players to sneak into the draw.
