This partnership will enhance educational and research opportunities for both students and faculty. NU graduate students can undertake a semester-long internship or research project at UINDY, with options for up to one year. Additionally, all BTech and BBA students at NU can pursue a 6-month to 1-year research practice internship at UINDY, after which they can seamlessly transition into the on-site Corporate MBA programme, provided they meet their academic requirements. NU undergraduate students from various disciplines can also transition smoothly to the Corporate MBA programme at UINDY. Faculty from both institutions can collaborate on research initiatives and joint conferences, with specialized courses offered by UINDY and NU faculty either on-site or online for terms lasting up to one year. To further enrich the experience, UINDY students can participate in an India immersion residential programme organized by NU, while NU students can engage in a U.S. immersion residential programme at UINDY.
