How do you make the subjects industry-oriented?

“Providing students with industrial visits to gain practical experience”

As Hutchings (1990) wrote, “What’s at stake is the capacity to perform, to put what one knows into practice". In professional courses what they learn in the classrooms is not enough to practice in the field. To bridge this gap industrial visits are arranged for the students where they visit industries and observe and learn. Experts from the industry are invited to give lectures to the students. Moreover, the students attend internships every semester and are asked to report on what they learned from the industry.

How do you update and strategize the curriculum?

“Updation of the Syllabus by designing the strategies”

Our College is affiliated with Anna University Chennai. The Course Curricula are framed by the university. In bridging the gap between academics and the industry, workshops, seminars are given on courses and topics which are relevant for making the students fit in the industry.
