NEW DELHI: Tata Infotech has announced an academic collaboration with Deakin University, Australia’s ‘University of the Year’. The alliance will benefit the students who have completed the G-Tech programme of Tata Infotech Education from its centers in India or Internationally. On successful completion of the G-Tech programme, students will be given a lateral entry into the Master of Information Technology (MIT) from Deakin University.



The collaboration will commence with a focus on an accreditation and credit transfer arrangement. Under this arrangement, Indian students with a Bachelor’s degree from a University in India and a G-Tech diploma from Tata Infotech Education will get four units of credit towards the Master of Information Technology (MIT) programme at Deakin University, Australia, thus saving six months.



Additionally, students who successfully complete Tata Infotech Education’s G-Tech programme after class 12, will get a direct entry into the fourth semester of Deakin University’s Bachelor of Computing (3-year) course, thus saving one and a half years.



This results in considerable savings in tuition fees and living expenses for the students. Students doing the G-Tech programme will also have preferential access to a prestigious University like Deakin, hence benefiting from the international exposure. This will position the students very well to exploit the growing IT opportunities in Australia.



Tata Infotech Head-Education Services Rahul Thapan, said, "This association with an esteemed institution such as Deakin University is in line with our Strategy of a 3-way tie-up between the Academia-Corporate-Tata Infotech Education."
