Dear Alumni,

We are delighted to share that Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), the Defence Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, through its Hyderabad unit at I.E. Nacharam.

The MoU was signed by Prof. G. ChandraMohan Reddy, Principal, MGIT, and Dr. Ch. Viswanadham, General Manager (EWLS) & Unit Head, BEL Hyderabad. It was witnessed by Smt. Leela P. Bhatkar, AGM (HR), and Smt. G. Rama Janaki, Officer (HR), from BEL, and by Shantha K Nuthalapati, Training & Placement Officer, and Dr. G. Jagadeeswar Reddy, HoD – ECE, from MGIT.

Under BEL’s Familiarization Program, current MGIT students will take part in 2–3 day visits and workshops at BEL factory sites and manufacturing units, gaining first-hand exposure to how defence electronics are designed and built, along with insight into Defence Research & Development. The MoU is valid for three years and is open to UG, PG and professional degree students.
