The first international campus of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras – IIT Madras – has officially opened in the Tanzanian archipelago of Zanzibar.<\/p>\n
The Zanzibar campus offers a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and a two-year Master of Technology program in Data Science and AI.<\/p>\n
IIT Madras, a public technical university in Chennai, is one of the best universities in India.<\/p>\n
Forty-six students from India and Zanzibar have already registered for the BSc course.<\/p>\n
“When I saw the opportunity to study in Zanzibar, I decided to go for it,” said Aradhya Goswami a student from Bihar, eastern India. “I wanted to be part of history,” she said.<\/p>\n
India and Zanzibar share a long history dating back to the 1800s. The Indian community in Zanzibar is one of the oldest communities to settle in East Africa.<\/p>\n
Students in the Zanzibar campus will have a chance to study at partner institutions of IIT Madras in UK and Australia, along with semester exchange options at the parent campus in Chennai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
