Nair, Dean of Engineering, and Dr. Kalyan Sahu, HoD Management, warmly received the Alma College representatives. During their discussions, they deliberated on various collaborative programs, the creation of student exchange opportunities, and the potential for dual-degree initiatives that would benefit students from both institutions.
Dr Ravindra Pathak, Head of the Office of International Affairs at Medi-Caps University, expressed his deep appreciation for the insightful exchanges with Alma College. He emphasized the importance of such partnerships in enriching the academic experience of students and broadening their global perspectives.
