Chitkara University signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with York University, Toronto, to launch a 2 2 Computer Science pathway for Indian students.
The initiative enables students to begin their studies in India and complete their degrees in Canada, combining world-class education with international industry exposure. Students will complete the first two years of the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Computer Science at the university, paying domestic tuition fees in India. They will then transfer their credits to York University’s Lassonde School of Engineering to complete the final two years of the Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Computer Science.
