(T-TBIC) is setting up a Knowledge Network and Industry Connect (KNIC)
programme to bridge the gap between industry and academia.
The initiative is a joint venture with leading industry bodies to
address the skill gap between the industry demands and what academia
delivers.
KNIC will have all the necessary facilities to mentor and transform
the students in various domains within the college itself through
video conferencing and smart classrooms.
Technopark CEO Mervin Alexander said that through the programme, the
students are directly mentored by the industry experts so that they
get real exposure of the industry process and right industry
mentoring.
"The proposed project makes the investment of technology upgradation
at colleges to enable an intelligent learning environment in the
partnering campus. KNIC will conduct systematic interventions like
industry connect classes and faculty development programmes to bring
the corporate and academia closer," said Alexander.
As part of the programme, students of participating colleges are
enabled for best industry practices, case-studies, technology content
and behavioral competencies which help them develop and enhance
students' capabilities and building core competencies such as learning
skills, communication and collaboration, leadership, creative thinking
and problem-solving skills.
According to a NASSCOM study, various industry sectors require talents
with the solidity of domain knowledge blended with contemporary
skills, but with the huge skill gap, only 25 percent of the
engineering graduates in the country are employable and this creates
an imbalance in the demand-supply equation. IANS
