Abstract

Education leads to knowledge and subsequently to economic empowerment of the every individual in particular and society in general. All fields of education, be it Engineering and Physical Sciences, Medical, Management, Humanities and Social Sciences etc., ultimately help in development of individuals by imparting necessary skills required for appropriate employment. In India, people have benefitted by educational infrastructure and our emphasis on “Education for All”. Special efforts were made to ensure that no child or woman is left out from enrollment process. Our Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) increased considerably over past few years and the effect of education is visible on India’s economic growth. For providing meaningful engineering education, the role of academia – industry partnership, is praise worthy. Our forward looking educational institutions are using this partnership for development of skills and competencies. This study features a case showing as to how this academia-industry partnership has successfully been used by Amity Institute of Technology, which has partnered with Tata Technologies, to impart skills and competencies to engineering students to make them industry ready from day one after graduation.
