Held at the university auditorium, the seminar focused on encouraging academic partnership, student exchange programs and research collaboration. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the two universities, marking a significant step towards providing students with global exposure and developing career prospects.

The auditorium, filled with students from the BTech, Diploma and MBA departments, were eager to learn about the opportunities that the international partnership would bring. It offered an enriching experience by allowing students to broaden their academic horizons, build professional networks and gain insights into diverse perspectives. The seminar also enabled students to interact with stalwarts, share research ideas, and explore the latest developments in their respective fields.

Jagannath Gupta, chairman of the Budge Budge Institute of Technology, highlighted how this unique idea came into being, "The Training and Placement Cell of the institute initially proposed the idea. We immediately agreed, considering the immense potential it holds for our students. This connection will benefit the students from both the universities, helping them to get a job overseas and unlock long-term possibilities."
