International Cell

The Office of International Affairs (OIA) serves as the center for managing university & global
engagement and partnerships. It oversees international collaborations, in the form of joint
research projects, joint conferences, student and faculty exchange programs, and MOUs with
universities worldwide. The OIA plays a crucial role in facilitating student exchange
opportunities, short term visits for students, supporting student and faculty mobility programmes.

The Office of International Affairs (OIA) serves as the center for managing university’s global
engagement, fostering strategic partnerships, and advancing its internationalization efforts. As
the university’s gateway to the world, the OIA oversees a wide range of international
collaborations that include joint research initiatives, co-hosted academic conferences, student and
faculty exchange programs, and the negotiation of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with
universities and research institutions across the globe. These partnerships are instrumental in
promoting academic excellence, cross-cultural exchange, and global innovation.

One of the key roles of the OIA is to facilitate student exchange programs, which provide
students with the opportunity to study at partner universities abroad, immersing them in new
cultures and academic environments. The OIA manages the logistical aspects of these exchanges,
coordinating academic credit transfers, ensuring that students have a seamless and enriching
international experience. In addition to full-semester exchanges, the OIA also supports short-
term global immersion programs, which allow students to engage in global learning.

The OIA also supports faculty mobility programs, which enable faculty members to conduct
research, and collaborate with their peers at institutions around the world. These programs not
only contribute to professional development and research advancement but also enhance the
university's global academic standing by fostering international faculty networks and joint
academic initiatives. By facilitating joint research initiatives and co-hosting international
conferences, the OIA helps create platforms for the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of
cutting-edge knowledge on a global scale.

The OIA plays a vital role in hosting international delegations, visiting scholars, and researchers,
creating opportunities for knowledge exchange. These visits often lead to new collaborations and
strengthen existing ties between the university and its global partners.
