A collaboration has been formed between the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) and Taiwan so as to promote collaboration in terms of academics between Indian and Taiwan. The collaboration was brought in by the education division of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Centre in India (TECC). The collaboration has been designed to focus on providing the Indian students with opportunities internationally along with improving cooperation of industry and academics in both the countries, i.e. India and Taiwan. AICTE will be facilitating the collaboration between the Indian and Taiwanese Universities. However, the requirements of each university will differ, therefore, the MoUs will be signed as per the requirements.
