The academic / industry interface of I²IT with respect to the academic and research programs has enabled us to create vital links with some major players in the technology industry to drive innovation in the years to come.
The industry academia association of the Institute is a valuable channel between pure technology research and real world scenarios, bringing academic research closer to the students studying at our Institute. These alliances are highly interactive and constantly encourages a continuous flow of ideas between the traditional academia and the growing industry. They provide students with opportunities to work on technical and entrepreneurial projects and are also considered for various fellowships. Employees of startups incubated on campus can benefit by pursuing their continuing education program at I²IT.
The Training & Placement Department makes constant efforts to develop the leadership, managerial, technical and soft skills of the student community through various activities as listed below:
Barclays conducts Soft Skills Development training programs in our Institute campus for the benefit of students.
The Institute invites a professionally qualified trainer who conducts aptitude and technical preparatory classes twice a week for the 3rd year students to make them ready to face the needs of the rapidly growing IT industry.
Eminent personalities from the industry as well as the academia are invited to the campus regularly to share their professional experiences so that our students get to interact and gain knowledge with respect to the latest technological developments.
There have been a number of seminars and workshops conducted by the Institute over the last few years on “Emerging Trends of Technology”, Photonics, Android, Aurdino, Bluemix Tool etc. The Institute also arranges for industrial visits for the students to understand the adopted operational processes and practices by some of the premier industries like GMRT, Meltek, Finolex, Infosys, Persistent, Barclays etc.
The Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) was established by the Institute in the year 2015 with the objective to create awareness about entrepreneurship skills among the students. This cell is an institutional mechanism to create entrepreneurial culture.
This initiative has shown an encouraging response with many students coming forward with innovative ideas and concepts. The most promising ideas are chosen through “Entrepreneurship Challenge” – an event held on campus.
The Institute encourages students to contribute to the EDC and constantly assists them administratively and financially to meet their entrepreneurial aspirations.
This Committee aims at facilitating various activities for career development and guidance. It is focused towards preparing students and connecting them to appropriate opportunities. The Committee works towards specific strategies and logistics to maximize the career prospects for students on campus. It provides complete assistance and support to conduct the recruitment process under the guidance of the Training and Placement Department. The Committee members also actively participate in placement drives and interact with professionals from various corporate and continuously obtain feedback of the students employed with such corporates, that will help improve the overall development and technical competencies of the students to meet the rapid changes in the industry requirements. The CMC also arranges regular interactive sessions amongst different academic Departments. Being a part of this Committee helps students gain exposure to the corporate world through an applied hands-on method, which in turn develops highly success oriented graduates.
