Mr. Kamakoti said that the collaboration would help to share the best practices and move a step closer to realising the objectives of Viksit Bharat. Mr. Mohanty said that the MoU would help SUIIT to work closely with the faculty group at the institute for curriculum development, student exchange through credit transfer, skill development programmes, joint research and collaboration in AI, cybersecurity, chip design and green technology.
