Medicaps University partners with global universities for student exchange programs in urban research

Medicaps University has established strategic partnerships with South Korea’s Woosong University and Malaysia’s INTI University, launching an innovative student exchange program. Through this collaboration, five students from the Computer Science Engineering and Management programs will undertake semester-long studies abroad, combining international education with focused research on Indore’s urban development challenges.

Following a rigorous 5-months selection process that evaluated over 26 applicants, candidates were assessed based on their academic performance, Statement of Purpose (SOP), and personal interviews. The selection committee, comprising the Head of Department, Dean, and Vice Chancellor, focused on identifying students with strong academic credentials and a clear vision for contributing to urban development.

The selected students and their destinations are:

● Nancy Srivastava – Computer Science Engineering, Woosong University

● Ayush Joshi – Computer Science Engineering, Woosong University

● Irifa Khaishagi – Computer Science Engineering, INTI University

● Sakina Bohra – Computer Science Engineering, INTI University

● Vanshika Soni – Management, INTI University

Indore’s Honorable Mayor Mr. Pushyamitra Bhargav conducted an interactive session with the selected students. The discussion focused on leveraging best practices for Indore’s Smart City initiatives, particularly in critical areas of traffic management, waste disposal systems, and urban planning strategies.

“This program represents our commitment to combining international education with local development,” stated Dr. D K Patnaik, Vice Chancellor of Medicaps University. “Our students will not only gain exposure to the world-class education systems but will also bring back innovative solutions for Indore’s sustainable development. This initiative aligns perfectly with our vision of creating global citizens who contribute meaningfully to local communities.”

During their stay abroad starting February 2025, students will conduct educational course study and research work along with it they will do comparative research on urban development models. The program specifically emphasizes studying South Korea’s advanced traffic management systems and Malaysia’s innovative waste management solutions. Upon return, they will present comprehensive recommendations to the Indore Municipal Corporation for practical implementation.

The initiative builds upon Medicaps University’s successful track record of international collaborations. It reinforces the institution’s position as a leading global education hub while ensuring that international best practices are adapted to address local challenges.
