Career Point University Hamirpur Ties Up with IIT Madras for Future-Ready Education

Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh: In a significant move to enhance academic excellence and industry readiness, Career Point University (CPU), Hamirpur has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras. This collaboration is set to create powerful opportunities for students in Himachal Pradesh and the surrounding region.

The MoU focuses on launching joint diploma and degree programmes, significantly enhancing student employability, and enabling CPU students and faculty to fully engage with IIT Madras’s renowned digital learning ecosystem. A key feature of the agreement is the establishment of IIT Madras CODE (Centre for Outreach and Digital Education) Chapters on the CPU campus, which will serve as a hub for these initiatives.

The MoU was signed by Dean Academic Courses at IIT Madras, Prof. Prathap Haridoss, and Vice-Chancellor of Career Point University Hamirpur .

A spokesperson for CPU described the collaboration as a transformative step for the university. “This partnership with IIT Madras is a cornerstone of our commitment to providing world-class, accessible education to our students. By integrating initiatives such as SWAYAM-NPTEL and IITM’s diploma programmes into our curriculum, we are equipping our students with cutting-edge skills that meet both national and global industry demands,” they said.

Recognized for its excellence in research and education, IIT Madras is a premier institution. Its CODE division leads several nationally recognized outreach and digital programmes, including the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL), IITM BS Degree Programmes, online MTech programmes, and a wide array of certification courses and workshops.

Key goals of the collaboration include upskilling students, boosting their career readiness, promoting faculty development, and building a robust academic network through the IITM CODE Chapters at CPU.

This partnership is expected to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world industry requirements, opening new avenues for learners in the region. It significantly strengthens CPU's ongoing mission to integrate high-quality, future-ready education into its core programmes, particularly in the fields of engineering, technology, and computer science.
