The online education company Coursera and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Guwahati have signed a Memorandum of Understanding. IIT Guwahati announced this on Twitter. Excited to expand our collaboration with @coursera to now provide entirely online degrees on their platform, it said in the tweet. The most influential credentials in the job market continue to be degrees. Together, we're expanding all people's access to affordable, high-quality education.
Expanding drone-based training
The institute also entered into a contract with RC Hobbytech Solutions Pvt Ltd. and Assam Electronics Development Corporation Ltd. (RCH).
