A statement from ORIC said the visit aligns with the Vice Chancellor’s strategic vision for internationalization and aims to promote global exposure and cross-cultural learning among students. The delegation includes participants from multiple academic disciplines, reflecting the university’s emphasis on broad-based academic development.

During their stay at CAUC, the students will engage in technology-focused workshops, mentorship sessions, industrial visits and cultural exchange activities. The program will conclude with a formal graduation ceremony organized by CAUC to recognize the achievements of the University of Sargodha students.

The exchange builds on earlier agreements reached in October 2024, when Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Qaisar Abbas concluded a visit to China aimed at expanding academic collaboration and technological innovation. During that visit, the University of Sargodha signed cooperation agreements with several Chinese institutions, including CAUC, to initiate faculty and student exchanges.
