Sushil Ansal Foundation has established Ansal Institute of Technology and Management (AITM) Lucknow and a sister educational setup known as Ansal Institute of Professional Studies(AIPS) Lucknow which focuses on International collaborative programs for students studying the autonomous Certificate programs at AIPS for transfer to overseas Universities including US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe along with enrolling students in the Subharti University’s distance education program for UG degrees in Science, Administration and Computer Applications. The programs pursued so far are:
- Undergraduate programs in Engineering and Management
- Postgraduate transfer programs in Business Administration including Computer Information Systems
- The new program now emerging is in the medical field based on US education system and imparted in Europe – the degree is recognized by MCI.
The common undergraduate coursework consists of 5-6 semesters broad based coursework successful completion of which enables the students to pursue relevant disciplines in the overseas Universities as transfer students in accordance with their aptitude/choice in the above mentioned fields.
The 5-6 semesters coursework is proposed to be integrated with Subharti University’s distance education program to enable students to receive recognized Undergraduate degree (titled BSc./ BBA / BCA). The coursework will be given in a supervised study mode under the charge of AIPS faculty fulfilling all the norms of Subharti University’s Bachelor’s degree program. In this way students will be completing 5-6 semesters of prescribed coursework at AIPS in 2 – 2 ½ years and can get Subharti University’s recognized undergraduate degree in the relevant field in the 3rd year (which they can do even after transferring to overseas Universities) to pursue their respective academic program.
The students aim to study at AIPS to get overseas degree in the respective fields from the relevant foreign countries where these degrees are recognized. Such arrangements have great potentials of employment and those desirous to get longer experience of work and residency may have the possibility of achieving that subject to the fulfillment of conditions and eligibility prevalent in the relevant overseas countries.
Under this type of transfer arrangements being followed under the auspices of Ansal Group of Institutions (AGI) for the last 15 years, many students have preferred to stay back overseas and gain more work experience and exposure to the diversity, culture and traditions of the respective countries. The salient feature of the overseas degree is the possibility of internship after graduation which is an integral part of education in many countries like the US and is a stepping stone to get permanent residency in which sense a unique feature is that students admitted to AIPS after completing 5-6 semesters of coursework normally completed in 2 - 2 ½ years can have various options for their career:
- Can get recognized Indian degree after fulfilling their norms and successfully completing the requirements in the 3rd year which the students can do while on transfer to overseas Universities – can be simultaneously pursued, if desired.
- Get Medical degree in Europe based on US education system and recognized by Medical Council of India (MCI) under overseas medical degree category.
- Undergraduate Students can opt for 2 or 3 and have the flexibility of simultaneously pursuing option 1. Students who wish to transfer earlier can do so in principle even earlier after fulfilling the relevant norms for the transfer.
- Postgraduate degree in Engineering and Management – Provision exists for PG degree in MBA / MS (IS) / Master’s in Information Technology Management from specified overseas Universities after completing 1 year of the Advanced certification program in Business Management and information Systems
The Universities to which our students can go from Lucknow comprises of the following to receive 4 year UG degree / 2 year PG degree in Engineering and Management:
