ProofSlate brings IIT Kharagpur faculty-delivered, credit-bearing Micro-Specialisations inside your existing programmes — through a flagship three-party Platinum Jubilee MoU.
Anchored at IIT Kharagpur · Platinum Jubilee MoU
Degrees from private institutions look identical to one another. Meaningful differentiation on academic grounds has been structurally impossible — until now.
NEP 2020 made credit mobility legal. But no operational workflow exists to embed external credits into a degree at scale.
IITs have no safe, repeatable mechanism to extend academic value without risking brand integrity through ad hoc arrangements.
Board of Studies approvals, credit mapping, ABC documentation and audit trails require professional orchestration that has not existed.
Private universities have had no reliable route to meaningfully upgrade their academic offering within existing degree structures.
A clearly-defined, sequenced process. ProofSlate carries the operational load at every stage so your institution remains focused on its core academic mission.
Your institution, IIT Kharagpur and ProofSlate execute a formal Platinum Jubilee MoU covering scope, terms and credit recognition.
ProofSlate orchestrates Board of Studies and Academic Council approvals to embed the Micro-Specialisation in your degree.
IIT KGP faculty are scheduled, the LMS goes live, your local faculty are inducted, and assessments are configured.
Students complete the specialisation across multiple semesters and graduate with an IIT Kharagpur-certified specialisation on their degree.
ProofSlate manages everything between IIT Kharagpur’s academic capability and your students — so neither party carries the operational complexity alone.
We identify, qualify and onboard selected private universities — from first meeting through due diligence to a signed MoU. You do not negotiate with IIT; we do.
Board of Studies approvals, Academic Council coordination, credit equivalence structuring, ABC documentation, and full audit trails — all handled.
IIT KGP faculty scheduling, LMS infrastructure, assessments and evaluations, real-time dashboards — seamless academic delivery across every campus.
What an institution faces trying to build this on its own — versus what changes the day a ProofSlate MoU is signed.
Your institution enters a formal Platinum Jubilee MoU with IIT Kharagpur and ProofSlate — a landmark that belongs on your homepage and your accreditation dossier.

& degree governance
15–20 credits, embedded within your existing degree, designed and assessed by IIT Kharagpur faculty. Students graduate with an IIT-certified specialisation on their degree.
The most sought-after specialisation in campus hiring. Built for genuine depth across all engineering branches — not just computer science.
India’s most urgent industrial need. Aligned with the National Semiconductor Mission and IIT KGP’s decades of electronics leadership.
Grounded in IIT’s startup culture. Built for students who intend to build — venture design, systems thinking, and go-to-market execution.
“IIT faculty-delivered curriculum” is a credential your competitors cannot put in their prospectus. Differentiate at the moment decisions are made.
A named IIT Kharagpur specialisation justifies premium pricing without a single new building or hire. Pricing power through academic credibility.
IIT-certified students stand apart in campus hiring — in recruiter quality and offer packages. Structurally better outcomes, not just optics.
Structured academic documentation, governed delivery, and mentored learning directly improve accreditation parameters across multiple criteria.
Your faculty co-mentor alongside IIT-standard pedagogy — an institutional capability upgrade, progressively inducted into a national network.
A Platinum Jubilee MoU with IIT Kharagpur is a landmark. It belongs on your homepage, your prospectus, and your accreditation dossier — permanently.
India’s first and premier technical institution · Est. 1951
Flagship partnership under IIT KGP’s 75th anniversary programme
ProofSlate’s founders spent their formative years at IIT Kharagpur before founding the company. That institutional fluency — across faculty, administration, and governance structures — is what makes ProofSlate uniquely capable of delivering what others cannot.
We do not mediate from the outside. We work from within the IIT KGP ecosystem. That is the difference.
Former Director, IIT Kharagpur. Distinguished Professor of Computer Science and Engineering. A pioneer of formal methods and AI research in India, with over three decades of scholarship and institutional leadership.
Co-founder of HCL Technologies. One of India’s most celebrated technology entrepreneurs, with over four decades building and scaling technology enterprises. A defining figure in Indian technology.
Spent a decade at upGrad scaling education platforms from startup to institution, then moved deliberately into IIT Kharagpur’s Director’s Office — where he now builds and operationalises outreach programmes, leads strategic partnerships, and manages governance in one of India’s most complex public institutions. He brings the commercial instincts of a scaled EdTech operator and the institutional fluency to execute inside a high-scrutiny, reputation-sensitive system.
IIT KGP · Integrated M.Sc, Statistics & Informatics
As Chief of Staff to the Director at IIT Kharagpur, he drives governance, national policy interfaces, and major strategic initiatives. Before that, as a key member of the leadership team at Techno India Group, he was central to launching the first-of-its-kind School of the Future in partnership with Google and IBM — a landmark in Indian industry-academia collaboration. Earlier, as a Product Manager at AB InBev, he built and shipped global products — developing a rigorous sense of process design, systems thinking, and controls that few in the education space carry.
IIT KGP · Integrated M.Sc, EconomicsOne has spent years learning how to make large institutions move. The other has spent years making markets where none existed. ProofSlate is precisely the company that needs both.
Direct, non-marketing answers to the questions institutional decision-makers actually have.
We onboard a limited number of institutions at a time — by design. Each partnership is individually configured for your degree structure, academic calendar, and cohort size.
