To prepare our students to take up jobs overseas, we have increased the focus on imparting skills sets needed abroad including foreign language training,” says Dr. EaswaranIyer, Director - Industry Interface & Placements.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the demand for new age skills like Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Mobile Technology, and Information Security from high tech industries. To impart these skills to the students, it is important to have the industry involvement in academia at various levels and the right pedagogy.
