NEW DELHI: After Jawaharlal National University and Jamia Millia Islamia , IIT Bombay has also halted all arrangements with universities in Turkey , in response to Turkey's stance favouring Pakistan during increased India-Pakistan tensions .
The institute announced on X, "Due to the current geopolitical situation involving Turkey, IIT Bombay is processing suspension of its agreements with Turkish universities until further notice."
This action follows Turkey's backing of Pakistan throughout 'Operation Sindoor' and the subsequent rise in tensions with India.
