The courses have been decided after identifying high growth sectors in the industry.
The American India Foundation, a charitable trust, will provide financial support to students and the courses will be held at the University’s Garware Institute.
With an intake capacity of 40, admission to the six-month courses will be held twice a year and students will be charged a Rs 2,000 for the six months.
