SCMS Signs MoU with Russian Varsity

SCMS Cochin

The SCMS Group of Academic Institutions signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the People’s Friendship University, in Russia, for education collaboration for a wide range of programs.

As per the MoU, students of SCMS can go to Russia and join the University for one more year of study in engineering and get a B. tech Degree of the People’s Friendship University in addition to the B. tech they have already secured from SCMS. Engineering is of five-year in Russia.

Exchange of students and faculty is also envisaged under the agreement. The idea of double B. tech from India and Russia will give an extended value of chances for employment in Russia, where technically perfect professionals are in demand in huge numbers.

As an agreement, the Russian Government greets technically-qualified professionals from India, said Nikolay Kislyy, Dean of the University, after signing the agreement.

He said the PFU and SCMS can restyle the syllabus and course of study to match the requirements of the Russian industries once this agreement becomes operational.

Pradeep P Thevannoor, vice-chairman of SCMS Group, PPramod P Thevannoor, senior director, P C Pillai, group director, V Raman Nair, director and K J Paulose, dean, SCMS Cochin School of Business were also there on the occasion. Nikolay Kislyy gave a visit to SCMS Cochin School of Business, the Biotechnology Research Institute and the SCMS School of Engineering and Technology of the Group.
