Overview

• IIM Kozhikode has officially terminated its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Turkey’s Sabancı University, effective immediately, citing alignment with national priorities.
• The MoU, originally signed in September 2023 for five years, primarily focused on student exchange and academic collaboration.
• The institute has requested the removal of its name from all Sabancı University records, websites, and affiliated platforms.
• This decision follows similar actions by other Indian universities, including JNU, Jamia Millia Islamia, IIT Roorkee, and Lovely Professional University, in response to Turkey’s support for Pakistan.
• The move reflects a broader shift in Indian academic institutions prioritizing global partnerships that align with national values and strategic interests.
