Collaborations with partner and non-partner universities are done solely through the Office for International Affairs in consultation and coordination with faculty members and secretariats of different Schools / Centres / Campuses of the Institute. In cases of any delegation visiting TISS, the collaboration with partner and non-partner universities should be discussed in the presence of representatives from the OIA or the OIA has to be suitably be informed.
As a first step of developing of a collaboration, TISS signs a generic MoU for institutional affiliation which favours TISS students and faculty members. The OIA supports agreements that does not have legal implications on TISS or any of its faculty or staff for hosting a student / faculty from any partner university. Financial aspects of any exchange programmes are to be planned in consultation with the OIA and the concerned representatives from the partner university.
MoUs for new partnerships or the renewal of the older ones will be facilitated through the OIA and forwarded to the Director's / Registrar's Office.
