In the first phase of this program; 50 colleges have been shortlisted among all technical institutes of INDIA among which Dr.B.C Roy Engineering College;Durgapur was the only college to be selected from West Bengal.

Under the agreement, UC Berkeley and UC San Diego, as well as Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, the State University of New York at Buffalo, Case Western Reserve University and HARWARD University, will send their best faculty to teach in India via AMRITA's e-learning setup and ISRO's EDUSAT.
