The NMAM Institute of Technology of the Nitte Education Trust has signed an MoU with Penn State Harrisburg, USA to offer a 2+2 engineering programme for students.

In a first of its kind initiative, this twinning programme in India offers a bachelor’s degree in engineering, where students can complete the first two years of their study at Nitte and the next two years at Penn State, USA.

The agreement between Nitte and Penn State provides for a common curriculum, education delivery and evaluation. Further, the transfer of credits as per the agreement ensures participants the benefits of pursuing part of the programme in India adhering to global benchmarks in engineering education. The major highlight is that students who successfully complete the programme, will get a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from the Pennsylvania State University.

The new program has commenced in August this year.
