From its inception, the University has had numerous partnerships for academic collaboration with institutions in the state, Northeast region and elsewhere in the country. The associations have been formalised by MoUs. MLCU also has formal partnerships with universities in Bangladesh, the Philippines and Canada. These association enable the mutual enhancement of academics, research, student exchange, faculty development and community outreach.
These partnerships generally fall into five categories:
Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) provides a holistic model of the learning process and a multilinear model of adult development, both of which are consistent with what we know about how people learn, grow, and develop. Experiential learning theory defines learning as the process whereby knowledge, skills, and values are created through the transformation of experience. Knowledge results from the combination of grasping and transforming experience. It is distinct from rote and didactic learning, in which the learner plays a comparatively passive role.
The University Grants Commission encourages the use of experiential learning stating that, “Learners must have ample scope to formulate their own queries and have multiple interpretations of knowledge through self-search and experiential learning.”
To emphasize the importance of experiential learning, MLCU encourages the broad use of experiential strategies and tools, recommending that at least half of the learning time be spent in experiential learning.
MLCU is privileged to have many partners in various corporate, service and professional sectors serving society with high commitment and expertise in different parts of the country. These organizations provide MLCU students with invaluable exposure and experience.

The rate of internationalization is growing rapidly with easier communication and travel. Universities across the world are already seeking to make the most of the possibilities this presents by forming global partnerships and fostering relationships with other institutions. In the globalized society we live in, international collaboration programs help by providing students with the ability to learn, work, and travel in an international capacity. With international exposure, students and faculty alike can enhance their ability to scrutinize, debate, and share experiences and global trends. These skills are essential for academic and scientific accomplishment especially in the development and implementation of research. Along with research opportunities and cross-cultural awareness, MLCU is also building this international relationship and academic collaborations with few universities. Through these collaborations, students can gain from international experiences including short-term training programmes, study tours, joint concerts, internship, and possible placements abroad. In terms of teaching, benefits include curriculum development and faculty training programme in collaboration with partner institutions.
