Parul University signs MoU with NDA for dropout cadets
Representative Image. VADODARA: City-based Parul University (PU) has signed MoU (memorandum of understanding) with the National Defense Academy (NDA), Pune, to provide continuing education to those cadets who are unable to pursue the entirety of their academic course at NDA.
NDA offers undergraduate training along with a centre of excellence in military training. It is among the top tri-service academies which train cadets of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
Numerous candidates, however, withdraw or fail to fulfil the requirements of the academy and are boarded out for not being able to fully satisfy the required criteria for completion in the areas of academics, outdoor training, standards and protocols due to injuries/medical complications post or prior to the course of the training.
Such boarded out candidates face numerous challenges in continuing their academics as a result of multiple reasons thus requiring academic rehabilitation which PU will be offering through this MoU.
“PU is one of the very few universities in the country to hold such an agreement with the NDA. It is a matter of great honour and pride for us,” said PU president Dr Devanshu Patel.
