The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur and the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences (NUJS) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to foster collaboration in the academic realm.
This partnership entails the development of joint academic programmes and faculty support across various fields, aimed at contributing to the accumulation of knowledge and literature in diverse multidisciplinary domains.
