First of its kind landmark agreement between two educational institutions to collaborate for B. Tech and MS degree programmes in the area of computer science and computer engineering
![]() |
NIIT University (NU) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Missouri- Kansas City’s School of Computing and Engineering (SCE), to offer a 5-year programme that will allow students to secure B. Tech degree from NU and Master’s of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) from SCE. The MoU was signed by Dr. Rajendra Pandey, President, NIIT University and Mr. Kevin Z. Truman, Vice Provost, UMKC, & Dean, School of Computing & Engineering, University of Missouri – Kansas City.
Under this MoU, NIIT University in collaboration with the University of Missouri-Kansas City’s School of Computing and Engineering will offer a unique 5-year programme that will give students the opportunity to complete both B. Tech and MSCS, with successful candidates being awarded Bachelor’s of Technology (B. Tech) by NIIT University (NU) and Master’s of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) by UMKC. This is the first of its kind landmark agreement between two educational institutions to collaborate in B. Tech and MS degree programmes and research activities through the exchange of degree.
Speaking on this significant collaboration :- Dr. Rajendra Pandey, President, NIIT University, said, “NIIT University offers a new model in higher education based on the principals of innovation and learning, to help open exciting career avenues in today’s knowledge economy. To this end, the MoU with UMKC’s School of Computing and Engineering will offer unique dual technical certification opportunity to students from two reputed institutions.”
In recognition of the quality of NU’s B. Tech programme, UMKC has also offered very generous and assured scholarships to all NU students admitted to UMKC programme. The fee will be approximately 40% lesser than the fee charged to any international student. There is also a very strong support for teaching assistantship.
Mr. Kevin Z. Truman, Vice Provost, UMKC said, “With a vision to prepare students in India for today’s competitive job market we have joined hands with NIIT University to offer the latest technology and business trends, as well as a comprehensive education in computer science through this cutting-edge programme.”
Mr. Vijay Kumar, Professor, Computer Science Engineering, UMKC said, “NIIT University, Neemrana and University of Missouri-Kansas City, USA have entered into a first of its kind landmark agreement to collaborate in B. Tech and MS degree programmes and research activities through the exchange of degree seeking students and faculty members in the area of computer science and computer engineering. It is a monumental academic collaboration for mutual benefit of these institutions. I am delighted to be a part of this collaboration which provides deserving students and dedicated faculty members opportunities and resources for fulfilling their academic dreams. The partnership will produce students with highest academic calibre and faculty with highly innovative research achievements that India needs. We must all wish success to this collaboration.”
