Dr. Reddy,
I had mentioned this in one of the earlier mails also that to achieve industry-institution interaction, faculty members have to invest their time and develop one to one relationship with top brass of the industry in their area of operation.

Subject: [MTC Global] What Needs to be Done?

Now a days it has become a fashion to talk about industry institute interaction whereby faculty gets enriched thereby facilitating his moulding of the students in conformity with corporate requirements.
But the moot question arises as to whether it's happening and if it's then how come majority of the students are found unemployable, going by the several reports brought out in this regard including that of FICCI.
I was told industry - institute interaction is good in Tamilnadu.
In Telangana CII started a campus connect program whereby they intend to share the curriculum to handle apart from providing industry internship to faculty.
Faculty in metro cities etc have access to industry , opportunity to interact etc., But what about those in tier II or III cities/towns. Leave about industry interaction many of them have no access to data bases or journals. Then how you expect them to upgrade themselves to mould their students suitably.
Private public and industry institute interaction collaboration should happen in letter and spirit so as to improve their employability and enable the youngsters to contribute to GDP.
Dr A Jagan Mohan Reddy

The employability of engineering graduates in India has been a matter of concern for the last several decades. Many reports have stated that only 20-25% of the graduates are employable in industry. A recent report has mentioned that only 5% of computer science and information technology graduates (a majority of our engineers are in these disciplines) have any reasonable programming skills, which is the most basic skill for such a graduate. Another 15% can still be trained to perform tasks in IT industry.
Whenever a new report comes out, there are immediate calls for greater interaction between industry and academia and to have more industry-focussed curricula in colleges. And seeing that such calls have not had any impact on the ground level, AICTE has announced that such interaction will now be mandatory. Each college must have an industry consultation committee to rework the curriculum of each course taught there every year.
AICTE appears to have forgotten that it regulates only affiliated colleges, and it has very little regulatory control over universities. Affiliated colleges have no control over their curriculum. They teach the curriculum that the affiliating university decides. These universities are expected to have a Board of Studies for each program, and that board invariably has members from industry as well. So there is already an industry input to the curriculum design. Now, if a college creates such a committee and the industry person advises even small modifications to the courses, can the college implement these modifications? The answer, unfortunately, is in the negative for all colleges, barring a few "autonomous" ones.
