If your institution is currently not part of LITE, we will update the dashboard with the status of your institution once you have initiated the integration process.

Step 2: Sign the LITE MoU

Once your institution has signed the MoU from your end, please share it with us at wd@pupilfirst.org, so that we can execute the same.

b. Existing LITE Institutions

• Institutions who have already signed the LITE MoU with us, are required to re-execute the MoU using this template, since we have updated some important clauses including scholarship admissions.

• While re-executing the MoU, your institution can opt for integrating our courses as Open Electives instead of Minor Degree based on interest and as per university regulations.

Before starting the student admissions, it is mandatory for institutions to get the required regulatory approvals for integrating the LITE NEP 2020 Model Curriculum as Minor Dergee or Open Electives.

Step 4. Allocate class hours for the courses

Since the advanced web development courses as Minor Degree/Open Electives will be part of the academic work of students, it is mandatory for institutions to allocate at least 3-4 class hours per week for students to take the courses in their timetable. Institutions can also leverage the existing timeslots for Electives to integrate our courses.
