Christ University is a leading technological university located in Bangalore, India (the Asia’s Silicon Valley).

A key aspect of the partnership is the co-teaching initiative, where lecturers from both universities will collaborate on courses in fields such as Research on Emerging Trends in Computer Science, Advanced Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Robotics and Machine Learning, Cyber security, Block chain Technology and Advanced Data Structures.

“This collaboration presents an exciting opportunity to enhance our postgraduate programmes in Computer Science and IT as our students will be taught by faculty from both Zetech University and Christ University. The partnership perfectly aligns with our commitment to interdisciplinary research and internationalisation. It will also enable our students and faculty to have exposure on the best global practices and enhance South collaboration,” said Prof Alice Njuguna, Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academics, Research and Student Affairs.

Additionally, the partnership will see Zetech University students participate in Student Exchange Programmes to the Silicon Valley of Asia, where they will get a chance to study and research with some of the leading technology companies in Asia.

The two institutions have had previous exchanges in the past and are planning for a student exchange programme this year from March 3-8, 2025.
