There are clear indications that the US based Georgia University is not interested in starting Georgia Institute of Technology in Hyderabad and Vizag. In 2007, Georgia Tech signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the AP government to set up two campuses in the state. A 250-acre plot was allotted to the university at Shamshabad for the Hyderabad campus and another 70-acre plot was earmarked for its campus in Vizag. Now, in a clear indication of the university's disinterest in the venture, authorities said they would wait for Parliament to pass the foreign universities Bill before taking a final decision on setting up an offshore campus in the state.
Since then no activity in setting up of the institutions has been taken up by the university. Unofficial inquiries made by a newspaper with the university authorities reveal that the university is in no mood to go ahead with the projects. University authorities say that they would wait for Parliament (U S) to pass the foreign universities Bill before taking a final decision on setting up an offshore campus in the state. University spokesperson Lisa Ray Grovenstein said the varsity is thinking of starting distance education courses in India. This would help students who are already enrolled in the university's Atlanta campus to study in India. About 40% of the students in the university are from Andhra Pradesh. The university has also tied up with industries and academic institutions such as IIT in the state.
