International Engineering Program, ICAS

Engineering Degree provided by the Foreign University.
ICAS has tied up with 39 prestigious partner universities, thus offering a wide range of universities from which the ICAS students can pursue their final two years. The students are free to apply to any other foreign university of their choice thus providing them a wide platform to jump start a successful career.
This unique program is made possible by adopting all the teaching and evaluation methods that are followed by universities abroad, thus enabling an easy transfer from Manipal to any foreign university. As a testament to the success of this program, ICAS has seen over 1,400 students pass through its portals and continue their studies abroad.
The students also benefit from the flexibility of choosing or changing the branch or major area of specialisation after entering the programme at foreign universities. For example, a student who has taken the basic course in mechanical engineering may change to aircraft or automotive engineering and a student who has opted for electronics during the first two years at Manipal may change over to biomedical engineering.

KEY ADVANTAGES
International Engineering Degree: The key highlight of this course is the fact that the students complete their 4 year engineering course and graduate with an international engineering degree from some of the top universities in the world.
International Placements: Students on successful completion of the course, participate in the placement activities of the university. The annual salary package upon graduation is between $55,000 and $85,000.
Face to Face Interactions with Partner University Delegates: Delegates from the partner universities visit Manipal twice a year to address the ICAS students and advise them on the various options available to them. Parents and students have one on once sessions with these delegates, thus providing them a chance to clear out any questions that they may have.
Global Education Standards: Keeping in line with the curriculum and pattern that is used in international universities, ICAS provides its students up to date and relevant syllabi thus ensuring a high standard of quality education.
Financial Benefits: Since the first two years of the course are conducted in India, there is a large amount that is saved. Students are able to save up to 40% of the total fee that they would ordinarily spend if they were to pursue an engineering course wherein all the 4 years were spent abroad.
Strong Foundation: Unlike regular engineering courses in India, where the specialization is chosen from the very beginning, the ICAS program is structured in a manner such that the first two years are a foundation program for students which helps familiarise them with the cultural and academic differences between India and abroad. By the end of these two years, the students are not only better equipped, but are better oriented and ready for the international system that focuses on clarity of concepts rather than course delivery.
Support in Documentation Process: Since this course is based on a credit transfer system, the foreign university and ICAS provide assistance to the students in terms of all the documentation that is required to transfer to these foreign universities.
