Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi is all set to start an overseas campus in UAE’s Abu Dhabi. The Union Ministry of Education and Abu Dhabi’s Education and Knowledge Department (ADEK) have signed an agreement for setting up the campus of IIT Delhi in UAE.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ongoing visit to the UAE.
The new offshore campus will offer Master’s courses from January 2024, while Bachelor’s degree programmes will be offered from September 2024.
“MoU for establishment of IIT Delhi campus in Abu Dhabi in the presence of Hon. PM Narendra Modi ji unfolds a new chapter in internationalisation of India’s education. An exemplar of #NewIndia’s innovation and expertise, the IIT Delhi campus in UAE will be an edifice of 🇮🇳-🇦🇪 friendship. It will set a brand new template for leveraging the power of knowledge for both mutual prosperity and global good as envisioned in NEP,” Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said in a tweet.
Last week, IIT Madras signed an MoU for setting up its campus in Tanzania’s Zanzibar.
