IIT Indore is making its mark in society...

Rapid advances in technology are changing today’s workspace, increasing the demand for highly skilled workers who have the knowledge to make the best use of the swiftly evolving technology. Students churned out of the static and stagnant academic system are not equipped to meet the current industry requirements and often companies have to incur additional time and monetary expenses to train new hires. As industries look to colleges to fill job openings, institutions are feeling the pressure to update their academic system to be in tune with the industries. Also, industry-academia collaboration, the world over, is extremely limited and hasn’t been harnessed to its full capacity. Hence, an urgent need to take proactive steps has been strongly felt to enhance the employability of engineering graduate workforce and make them industry ready.
The Industry-Academia Conclave is a unique platform that will bring together experts from the industry to discuss the most critical issues about the gap in industry and academia today and try to bridge this divide. The Conclave aims at encouraging the exchange of productive ideas and perspectives, thereby, creating a strong linkage with the industries. The Conclave features a confluence of company representatives, academia and students to evolve innovative solutions to vital issues looming in the realms of industry and academia alike.

                  Theme:

"Whether the current academic system provides the students with the required skill sets and what modification can be made to improve it. "



As students gear up for their first jobs, one of the biggest challenges every student encounters is the transition from college to corporate life. Suddenly, there is a transformation from assignments and mid- semesters to articulation, team work and deadlines. Aggravating the situation is the technology aspect. Students have to adapt to rapidly evolving technology along with a focus on practical and real-life industry problems which may not be inculcated merely by a theoretically sound education. Through panel discussions, this Conclave will endeavor to throw light on some of the indispensable skills necessary to thrive in a corporate ambience and find actionable solutions to line up corporate expectations with technical education. 

•   The Conclave would provide a suitable forum for companies to present their views on an upcoming topic which can transform the Indian educational scenario.
  
  
  
•   Representatives from topnotch companies in their respective domains would be able to confer directly with IIT faculty as well as other company representatives, thereby facilitating an exchange of perspectives.
  
  
  
•   Interactive sessions between company representatives and IIT faculty will help strengthen industry- institution bonds and engender symbiotic partnerships.
  
  
  
•   Students would be able to gauge industry requirements and determine the skill set that companies seek which in turn would assist companies in fostering prospective employees.
  
  
  
•   The Conclave would serve as an ideal platform for an effective and refined schema to emerge and find its place in other academic institutions all over India
