It was truly a pleasure hosting USIE Fulbright scholars a IEAS cohort of ten international education administrators from universities in the United States. These administrators were mostly decision makers in their institutions (Provosts, Chief International Officers etc.) and were keen to expand educational ties with. The purpose of the Seminar is to provide U.S. higher education administrators first-hand knowledge of the higher education sector in India to enable them to make better informed decisions regarding potential academic and institutional collaborations in India.
SVKM Hon. Secretory Dr Jayant Gandhi, PVC NMIMS Dr Meena Chintamaneni, Director International - Ms Meena Saxena, Dean MPSTME- Dr Koteswararao and Director School of Entrepreneurship Family Management Prof Seema Mahajan deeply appreciate the opportunity to present an overview of the Indian education system through the lens of SVKM’s NMIMS Deemed-to-be University.
