Rector interacted with coordinators of various programs and discussed
details of the Unified program.Prof. Nitin Kumar Tripathi, Director, Special Degrees Program,

professional career path for students. “It is a fast-track program
which allows students to complete both their Bachelor’s and Master’s
programs in five years, instead of six years,” he said. The condensed
duration of the program implies that the cost of the program is also
lesser, he added. He stated that so far 89 students from JNTU Hyderabad

AIT had signed agreements with Chiang Mai University, Thailand; JNTU

offer this program.
