SRINAGAR: In yet another testament to its growing global academic footprint, SKUAST-K has achieved a significant milestone with six of its students securing prestigious fully funded internships under the Taiwan Experience Education Program (TEEP), Taiwan.
The selected students successfully cleared multiple rounds of rigorous screening and highly competitive international interviews, demonstrating outstanding academic merit, research aptitude and technical competence. Their selection among applicants from across the globe underscores the quality of education and research ecosystem at SKUAST-K and further strengthens the University's international academic standing.
The six selected scholars, comprising four undergraduate and two postgraduate students, will undertake research internships at three leading universities in Taiwan, viz National Changhua University of Education (NCUE), National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST), and National Dong Hwa University (NDHU). During the internship, they will work in advanced research laboratories, interact with internationally acclaimed scientists, gain exposure to cutting-edge technologies and contribute towards strengthening academic and research collaborations between SKUAST-K and Taiwanese institutions.
The selected students are Dhirender and Navneet Singh from the Faculty of Horticulture, who will pursue research at NCUE; Nitish Kumar, Kartik Duneria and Fatima Jaan, who have been selected for NPUST; and Sabyasachi Mukherjee, who will undertake his internship at NDHU.
Congratulating the students and their mentors, the Vice-Chancellor described the achievement as a matter of immense pride for the University. He stated that international exposure equips students with advanced scientific knowledge, cross-cultural understanding and global perspectives, enabling them to emerge as competent professionals capable of addressing contemporary agricultural and environmental challenges. He reiterated the University's commitment to creating more international academic opportunities that foster innovation, research excellence and global partnerships.
The University congratulates all the selected students and their mentors on this remarkable accomplishment and wishes them success in their international research journey. Their achievement not only enhances the global visibility of SKUAST-K but also reinforces its mission of producing globally competitive graduates and advancing sustainable agricultural development through international cooperation.
