JKLU, University of Birmingham to offer B.Tech courses jointly

J K Lakshmipat University, Jaipur has partnered with the University of Birmingham (UoB), United Kingdom through which JKLU students will be able to complete their engineering courses from UoB.

As per the agreement between the two institutions, JKLU students will be able to move to UoB after completing their second year at JKLU and earning the under-graduate degree from there (in a total of 4 years) with specializations, and the other is a semester abroad program.

Talking about the partnership between two institutions, JKLU Vice-Chancellor, Dheeraj Sanghi wrote on his social media post: “We are very excited about it since UoB is a top 100 university in the world and getting access to such a university for our students will obviously boost their learning and their careers. The current partnership will mostly benefit our engineering students though we will keep working with them in the future to expand the scope of this relationship.”
The first aspect of the partnership is applicable to students of Mechanical Engineering and Electronics Engineering. They can pursue degrees in Mechatronics, Robotics and Automotive engineering. According to Sandhi, students who are performing well at JKLU can get lateral admission to these bachelors programs at UoB.
“This will be of interest to those students who want a specialization in their Bachelor's degree and may want an international career. The fact that UoB is situated at the heart of innovation in the UK, and has been rated number one on the list of UK universities most frequently targeted by the country's top employers in 2021 is a big plus,” he writes.

JKLU will charge the same tuition from students interested in these programs as it charges other engineering students. Sanghi writes: “In fact, since students interested in such partnerships will have to have higher marks in 12th class, most of them will get a substantial scholarship from JKLU (usually between 50% and 100% of both academic fee and hostel fee, check our website for exact rules for scholarships in the first year, and rules for continuation in successive years).”

The current policy of the UK government allows foreign graduates of UK universities to stay on for two more years after graduation.
