IIT Madras and L&T EduTech have teamed up to launch industry-skilling programs for engineering and science students across India. The aim of this collaboration is to bridge the gap between academia and the industry, making students industry-ready.
IIT Madras, one of the premier institutes of India, has always been at the forefront of providing quality education and producing skilled graduates. With this collaboration, the institute aims to provide students with practical training and knowledge that will help them succeed in their future careers.
The program will offer customised programs for professionals to upskill themselves and achieve career progression. Experts from various engineering and science departments of IIT Madras will be provided by Pravartak Technologies, while the industry expertise will be provided by L&T EduTech.
These courses will provide conceptual learning with engineering applications and exposure to engineering fundamentals along with industry-relevant knowledge derived from engineering practice. The courses are being offered in a hybrid mode, and experts are aiming to reach 25,000 students annually. The details about the programs will be announced on their respective websites and social media accounts by the end of May 2023.
According to Prof. V. Kamakoti, the Director of IIT Madras, the collaboration with L&T Edutech is an exciting development as they have been working together to develop technology and skill training programs for some time now. The “Build India Scholarship” program has been particularly successful. The new partnership aims to close the gap between academic learning and industry needs by providing certification programs that combine theoretical knowledge with practical training. These programs are designed to upskill, cross-skill, and reskill professionals and fresh graduates in core engineering and IT/ITES fields.
In conclusion, the collaboration between IIT Madras and L&T EduTech is a welcome move that will provide students with industry-relevant skills and knowledge. The joint skilling programs will help students develop a deeper understanding of cutting-edge technologies and improve their employability prospects. This collaboration is a step towards bridging the gap between academia and industry, and we hope to see more such collaborations in the future.
