On the 28th of February, an interactive session was conducted by the Department of Mathematics along with faculty from the Department of Physics and electronics regarding an MoU signed with the Catholic University of America. This prestigious institute located in the heart of Washington DC has opened an avenue for interested undergraduate students currently completing their second year at CHRIST(Deemed to be University) to pursue the two remaining years at their university. This opportunity is available to Maths and Physics enthusiasts. Dr Kiran Bhutani, Head of the Mathematics Department of CUA, addressed 30 students across various combinations under the department, regarding the syllabus, scholarship, admission process and possibilities of pursuing Masters in the USA.
Fr Joseph,  Director Center for Research, Dr T V Joseph, Head of the department of Mathematics Dr Paul K T, Head of the department of Physics and Electronics and Dr Mayamma Joseph , Professor, Department of Mathematics attended the session and the students raised important questions regarding eligibility, minimum GPA and the process of application. Dr Kiran further went on about how the students who took part in the exchange program previously, thoroughly enjoyed their experience at CUA.

The exchange program began in 2011 with the transfer of only engineering students and has now branched out to physics and maths due to popular demand. This program encourages young minds interested in the field of research and provides a platform to study abroad at a highly subsidised rate. The session ended with a vote of thanks proposed by Dr T V Joseph.
