Akhil  Gautam | Campus Adda| Meerut – The Meerut Institute of Engineering and Technology (MIET) has signed a significant Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with EV Support Systems (EVSS), a leading company working in the electric vehicles (EV) domain. The aim of this collaboration is to foster innovation and research-oriented projects in the field of electric vehicle technology through strong academic-industry cooperation.

The MoU was officially signed by Prof. (Dr.) Sanjay Kumar Singh, Campus Director, MIET, and Nitin Sharma, Managing Director, EV Support Systems. The signing ceremony was also attended by other senior academicians and officials including Dr. Sanjeev Singh, Dr. Rohit Aggarwal, Dr. Vineet Kumar, and Praveen Kumar Chakravarti.

Objective of the Collaboration

The primary objective of this MoU is to establish a structured framework under which real-world industry challenges in electric vehicle technology can be addressed through research, innovation, and prototype development. While EVSS will provide problem statements, technical requirements, and industry guidance, MIET will contribute a team of experienced faculty and skilled students, along with access to labs, research infrastructure, and relevant tools.

Scope of Collaboration

The collaboration will focus on three key areas:

1. Project Ideation and Definition:

EVSS will share technical problem statements and project ideas related to various EV components, battery management systems, charging infrastructure, and software applications. MIET will assess the feasibility and propose implementation plans accordingly.

2. Resource and Technical Support:

MIET will dedicate a team comprising faculty mentors and technically proficient students. The institute will also provide access to state-of-the-art laboratories, development tools, and computing resources. EVSS will offer technical mentorship, training sessions, and access to real-world data where applicable.

3. Project Execution and Review:

Both parties will develop a timeline and regularly review the project’s progress through joint meetings to ensure timely and quality outcomes.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)

All intellectual property (IP) generated under this MoU, including software code, design, and documentation, will be jointly owned by MIET and EVSS unless otherwise agreed in writing. In the event of commercialization, revenue sharing and licensing terms will be defined through a separate agreement. MIET may retain the right to use the outcomes for academic purposes with prior written consent from EVSS.

Industrial Exposure for Students

This partnership presents a golden opportunity for students, who will gain practical experience by working on real-world EV technology challenges. With the mentorship of industry professionals, students will develop a deeper understanding of innovation and improve their career prospects in the emerging EV and startup ecosystem.

Boost to India’s E-Mobility Mission

This MoU aligns with India’s national push towards electric mobility. The collaboration exemplifies how academia and industry can work together to support indigenous technology development, innovation, and the vision of a self-reliant India.

Management Perspective

MIET’s leadership views this MoU as a strategic step in strengthening its research ecosystem and enhancing industry-institute linkages. The management believes that such initiatives not only enhance student competencies but also contribute to the institution’s academic reputation.
