It has been reported that UPTU students can now pursue courses of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), together with their own curriculum. Students can avail the new facility at their respective institutes. Candidates can also undertake the courses from home. UPTU recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with IIT Bombay, under the “Talk to a Teacher” program of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD).

As per reports, the collaboration is expected to be a boon for around 4 lakh students of 700 engineering colleges across Uttar Pradesh (UP). Colleges affiliated to UPTU will be linked to the “Spoken Tutorial” portal of IIT Bombay, where they will be able to pursue online courses.
