What the alliances do?
These alliances are a formal arrangement by which a special connectivity has been created between a degree granting institution like a university and NIIT, which is a non-degree granting institution. This connectivity is the hallmark of NA-Universities alliances whereby NIIT Career Education has been accorded a status, which a University normally gives only to the offerings of another University.
All students who have completed at least a 2-year of NIIT program after PUSRC is an Alumni for the NIIT Academy.
In specific terms, from the point of NIIT students, NIIT Programmes of Studies under Career Education, leading to all NIIT Awards of 2-year and > 2-year duration are granted block credits in terms of block of years by the partnering universities of the alliance. Result is that all NIIT students on completion of NIIT Award (of 2 or > 2-yr duration) have not only (i) an access to a degree of the partnering university, but they also (ii) have a headstart towards a degree by the virtue of durational exemption they receive for their studies at NIIT.

All prospective students of NIIT will be covered under the alliances as soon as they enroll themselves into NIIT Career Programme of Studies of at least 2-year duration.

      What are the special and exclusive benefits to NIIT Students?

The candidate may be asked to submit the proof of adequate english proficiency as deem fit by the concerned University. It is also possible that the concerned High Commission/Embassy may demand a student to furnish a particular test score. For example the Australian High Commission in India has recently started demanding the IELTS scores before granting the student's visa to Australia.

-- Selection process does not involve any written examination.
