 MICA, Ahmedabad, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kolkata-based Bhawanipur Education Society College to strengthen academic collaboration and create new opportunities for student development, research and faculty engagement.
The MoU was signed on October 29, 2026, by Prof. Dilip Shah, Rector and Dean of Students at Bhawanipur Education Society College, and Prof. Piyush Sinha, representing MICA.

He added that the association would further MICA’s diversity legacy by providing opportunities for more students from eastern and northeastern India.
Prof. Dilip Shah said the partnership would extend learning opportunities beyond the classroom by opening avenues for academic exchange, research, industry engagement and experiential learning. He expressed confidence that the collaboration would enrich the educational experience of students and faculty while encouraging innovation and a broader national perspective.
The MoU will remain in effect for an initial period of three years, providing a foundation for mutually agreed academic initiatives between the two institutions.
