Today, MGIT took a significant step towards enhancing academic-industry collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Railways Institute of Signal Engineering & Telecommunications (IRISET). The MoU was signed by the Principal of MGIT and the Dean of IRISET in the presence of the Director General of IRISET, the Additional Director General of IRISET, Dr. S P Singh, HoD ECE, and Dr. P Negasekhar Reddy, Associate Professor of EEE, along with other senior professors from IRISET.

IRISET, established by the Ministry of Railways, Government of India, in 1957, is a premier training institute dedicated to the specialized training of Railway Officers in Railway Signaling and Telecommunications. The institute is renowned for its skill-oriented faculty development programs, industrial training on Signal & Telecommunications, and expertise in the indigenous Automatic Train Protection (iATP) system, known as Kavach.
