Academic Principles

• -- The NDP must act and think in every way, as a university should. Its organic linkage with the DP is an opportunity that it should exploit in order to believe that some day it will be independent even of the DP.
• -- NDP should strive for academic ethos and the DP should cultivate market orientation.
• -- It will increase the retentivity of the students of NDP and increase the capacity utilization of the vacancies perpetually created in the DP.
• -- The principle of advance standing is within the statutes of modern universities. Likewise, award of degrees in satellite locations jointly supervised and operated by NDP and DP is possible.
• -- No rules of business, which only contribute to the thought of maximization of profit, can prevail on a set up, which is dedicated to the transfer of knowledge.
• -- The long-term objective of such a tie-up should be maximization of the academic brand image of an institution. Profit enhancement should only be incidental.

Conclusions

• -- Academic positioning of the certificates of NDP at par with university degrees.
• -- Sovereignty of NDP protected and not subordinated to DP.
• -- No extra fees to be charged from the students.
• -- Wide variety of degrees and universities made available to students globally as options.
• -- Enhanced identity of NDP by becoming an approved place for carrying out doctoral research and award of joint degrees.
• -- Increasing the retention of students enrolled with NDP.
• -- All the above at no risk and no additional investment to DP as well as NDP.
