INDIAN universities no longer need to get clearances from the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) before entering into collaborations with foreign universities.

The Government on Friday withdrew some of the guidelines issued in 2003 relating to memorandums of understanding (MoUs) for collaborations between Indian universities with those from other countries.

On January 31, 2003, the Ministry led by the then HRD Minister, Mr Murli Manohar Joshi, had issued guidelines regarding collaborations undertaken by the Central Universities with foreign universities/institutions making an MHRD clearance mandatory before an MoU could be signed. Similarly, "on May 2, 2003, MHRD laid down that all state universities could enter MoU with foreign universities or institutions only with the prior clearance from respective state governments and deemed universities from the UGC, " said an official release.
