Knowledge and International Partnership

Globalizing Education through Industry and International Collaborations

Content, style and modus operandi of professional education in India have changed like never before. The traditional chalk and blackboard style of teaching (though still relevant) is being increasingly and massively supplemented and fortified by e-learning, industry internship, project work, participation in colloquia, seminars, workshops and conferences; and a host of consanguine professional interactions. There has been a perennial lament over inadequate academia-industry interaction in the content and style of education in the scheme of things of Higher education Institutions in India.

It is thus gratifying to note that bodies like MHRD, UGC, AICTE, NAAC, NBA, DST, CII and others have taken due cognizance of this critical dimension and a lot has happened to bridge the hiatus between requirements of industry as an employer and turnover from universities in the form of UG / PG students. Industrial productivity, employment generation, entrepreneurship culmination in increased GDP for the country are contingent, inter alia, upon the structured professional interaction and exchange between universities and industry.

The foregoing changing scenario of higher education can be realized through knowledge partnerships and international tie-ups with leading universities and industry. Trans- border education in its true form is the essence of Internationalization of future education worldwide.

Internationalization in the rapidly evolving world along with the accelerated pace of Digitization—‘Education sans Frontiers’-- has become a necessity as well as reality. Internet of things has made it possible for people searching across the globe to share and know in real time what is happening in the field of academics. In fact, Internationalization is not just limited to looking beyond one’s own country, but encompasses the whole ambit of cumulative gains of Global academics information and related information exchange. Besides the inherent advantage of exposure to international environment, it carries an added value of learning the culture, traditional and values of other countries. International agreements can lead to more comprehensive and sustainable development between individual students as well as professors/ researchers.

Manav Rachna Educational Institutions (MREI) comprising universities, schools at pan-India level and Innovation & Incubation Centre are fully clued up on the imperative need of meaningful knowledge partnerships, campus-connect programmes, industry-sponsored UG/PG programmes, teaching interventions by industry experts, synergy with industry in project work, consultancy, R & D activities. A large number of MOUs between MREI and leading universities and industry leaders, both at national and international levels have translated into exemplary knowledge partnership initiatives. Curricula, pedagogy design and delivery, laboratory work of many courses are conceived and styled by industry leaders like IBM, TCS, Infosys, JBM, Reliance, NDTV Worldwide, Su-kam. Further, industry leaders like Su-kam, Honda Motors, Reliance Jio and Mitsubishi have partnered with MREI to set up Centers of Excellence in the areas of their core competence at the MREI campus. MREI thus affords a thriving hub for knowledge partnerships and tie-ups both at national and international levels.

MREI have forged thriving partnerships with around 39 leading Universities spanning across USA, Canada, UK, South America, Far East and other Asian countries which includes AIS St. Helens, University Sains Malaysia, Lahti University, Missouri State University, Purdue University North West, USA and a host of others. The partnership comprises student and faculty exchange, off-shore hands on immersion and project work to enable students to transform into quintessential global professionals.


A phenomenal accretion to quality education, number of research publications in international journals of high impact value, campus placement with leading corporates, patents and projects by the MREI faculty and students bear eloquent testimony to the salubrious professional upshot of knowledge partnerships and international tie-ups.
