Last week, AIT President Said Irandoust together with Dr. Nitin Afzulpurkar met with Prof. Prida Wibulswas, President of Shinawatra University and a member of AIT Executive Committee, to consult and seek his advice on the proposed undergraduate concept proposal from Singhania University. Prof. Prida gave valuable comments and feedback with his keen interest in supporting AIT. Among them, he also emphasized the importance for AIT to take part in the ranking of research institutions such as the academic ranking of world universities compiled by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University, which was a large-scale Chinese project to provide independent rankings of universities around the world on behalf of the Chinese government. According to Prof. Prida, AIT as a leading research institution can play an important role in further supporting Thailand's efforts to increase the number of PhD's in the country.
