The agreement incorporates terms and conditions outlining the commitment of both institutions to develop various programs and activities based on their academic and educational needs. These include the exchange of faculty, undergraduate and/or graduate students, academic information and materials, organization of joint research programs and publications, joint conferences, student visits and seminars, and other agreed-upon joint academic activities. Additionally, the agreement allows the participation of respective students in Summer School Programs.

The signing of the contract was graced by Dr. Sandeep Pachpande, the Chairman of ASM Group of Institutes, and Dr. Engelbert C. Pasag, the Chief Operating Officer of Panpacific University.
