International Cell

Directorate of International Cell (DOIC) is headed by a team of dedicated staff and supported by the advisory council with a group of faculty and administrators representing key academic units are functional under this office. DOIC is established to promote internationalization and partnerships with international institutes is functional for collaboration with institutes globally for student and faculty exchange, semester abroad program, student mobility, higher education opportunities and signing of MoUs with local and global educational and research Institutes. DOIC provides the comprehensive and unified framework within which all work in the International arena can seamlessly be achieved.

The DOIC is primarily responsible for providing direction, assistance and synchronizing all of the University’s international work with overseas Institutions and Governments. While providing this leadership role, the office does recognize the importance of individual initiatives, needs and innovativeness of faculty and students across the University. Thus, its primary role is to coordinate the individual activities through a central location, within the context of a well thought out international strategic plan and to facilitate the interrelated and concomitant activities. The key focus is to provide a centralized location for helping the faculty, staff and students the needed assistance for all of their international work. Individual decentralized colleges and schools will still continue to pursue their individual interests although they will be required to coordinate their work through this central location.

The office will also help align international opportunities with each college’s curriculum enabling student mobility across institutions, enroll transnational students for both short and long term, facilitate institutional grants and contracts, and pursue value creating projects for the University in general.
