CHANDIGARH, India, August 12, 2021 — Chandigarh University is committed to providing international academic exposure, quality education, innovation, joint research programs, faculty exchange programs, educational projects, conferences, and a lot more. So it has signed MOUs with 309 universities across the globe. Under the International Academic Alliance Program, Chandigarh University has established partnerships with leading universities of 68 countries, including the USA, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia. It has become the first university in the country to achieve this milestone.
The Pro-Chancellor of Chandigarh University gave the details about the MOUs and their advantages. He said, “The University has signed MoU’s with top-ranked universities of the world, including those from Canada, U.K, USA, and Australia. It would provide international academic exposure, offer research opportunities and internships to our students.” When the pandemic had sent the world into a lockdown, Chandigarh University, with its commitment to provide the best resources and constantly expanding its global outlook, has signed MOUs with more than 68 institutions, stated the official. He further added, “Out of 309 universities (mostly from Australia, Canada, USA, UK, and New Zealand), 104 are QS ranked institutions, while 115 of them are Times ranked institutions.” CU recently signed academic agreements with 13 leading universities from the UK, 17 from Russia, 11 from New Zealand, and ten from France. It paves the way for developing student exchanges, student internships, and new faculty research endeavors. These agreements benefit the students and faculty from both sides, stated the Pro-Chancellor.
Mr. S.S. Sandhu, Chancellor of Chandigarh University, said, “With these MOUs, Chandigarh University aims to strengthen its objective to share knowledge and learning-based resources. Furthermore, it would fulfill its commitment to producing student exchanges, curriculum development, and teaching & research partnerships.” He added that the tie-ups with the foreign universities would also open up opportunities for the partner universities students to pursue their education at Chandigarh University in various fields. Mr. Sandhu further said, “University is prioritizing establishing academic exchange agreements with international institutes as it enables our students to get employment at the international level.”
Chandigarh University is a UGC (University Grants Commission) approved autonomous educational institution located near Chandigarh in Punjab, India. It is the youngest university in India and the only private university in Punjab to be honored with an A+ Grade by NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council). CU offers more than 109 UG and PG programs in engineering, management, pharmacy, law, architecture, journalism, animation, hotel management, commerce, and other disciplines.
Meanwhile, the nearby Panjab University Chandigarh (PU) reported that students confuse Chandigarh University (CU) with Panjab University Chandigarh (PU). So its Vice-Chancellor constituted a committee to look into the mess. Consequently, PU’s official website now clarifies that PU was “Established in 1882 as University of Punjab at Lahore (now in Pakistan).” It further reads, “Panjab University is not related to Chandigarh University, a private university located in Mohali, Punjab.”
Earlier, PU had put up a notice on its official website illuminating that it is a government-funded university which differentiates it from CU. The CU spokesperson had responded, “If PU has a problem, it can change its name to Chandigarh University. The Chandigarh Administration and the Punjab Government have given us the NOC. The Punjab Government passed the Chandigarh University Act in the Assembly. Panjab University (PU) is not competent enough now, so students prefer private institutions.”
