Under the agreement, a specialised credit programme will be introduced within VIT's MTech programme. It will be designed to train students with the latest automotive industry technologies.
The agreement was signed between Volvo Group India managing director Kamal Bali and VIT registrar T Jayabarathi in presence of the institute’s chancellor G Viswanathan.
