Infrastructure developer, GMR Group has entered into an agreement with Canada-based Schulich School of Business of York University today to develop a Schulich campus in Hyderabad, India.
The agreement comes exactly a year after the two signed an MOU last year.
“Schulich’s GMR Campus will be the first full-fledged campus of a major, top-ranked International Business school in India,” the company said in a release.
The Schulich School of Business, a public, non-profit Institution, will initially offer its two-year MBA programme to 120 students at the Hyderabad campus, along with executive education programmes.
“Under the agreement, Schulich will develop the learning environment and academic infrastructure while the GMR Group will provide the land and the physical infrastructure. Subject to approval under the Foreign Educational Institution Bill currently before the Indian Parliament, admissions would commence in January 2013,” the release said.
“GMR will bring its world-class infrastructure development skills to the table, while the Schulich School of Business will bring its expertise as one of the world’s top-rated MBA and Executive Education providers,” said G M Rao, Group Chairman, GMR.
