The MoU was signed on 10 July 2024 by Anant Bengani, Co-Founder & Director of Zell Education, and Dr Omveer Singh, Registrar of ITM University Gwalior, in the presence of Prof Yogesh Upadhyay, Vice-Chancellor of ITM University Gwalior, and other distinguished guests.
This strategic partnership will enable students enrolled in the B.Com and BBA programmes at ITM University Gwalior to simultaneously pursue the ACCA certification, commencing with the batch starting in 2024.
