Industry & Institute Planning Cell (IIPC)

Introduction :

Better interaction between Institutions and Industry is the need of an hour. For students it is important because they get exposure to industry and subsequent placement in various disciplines. On the other hand, with the advent of globalization and opening up of Indian economy to outside world, competition among the industries has become stiff. So industries also need good students who are well aware of industry standards and capable of achieving so. Therefore, there is an urgent need of interaction of industry and academics where academic institutes can prepare students for jobs in multinational companies and industry will also be benefited by possibility of receiving well-trained workforce. For this to become reality bridging the gap between industry and the academic institute is a must and for this, an Industry Institute Planning Cell was planned to establish at Dr.M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute University.

Objectives:

• To cultivate the strong links with industry.
• To promote various industrial activities by the faculty members and students.
• To catalyze the further growth and development of interaction between the Institute and Industry.
• To have a closer linkage and promote research suited to industry needs, and consultancy which creates a sense of owning among faculty members.
• To provide continuing education to people working in industries so that they can upgrade their technical knowledge, and / or obtain higher degrees; this orients the faculty members towards the industry from the portals of College i.e. Academics.
• To enable teaching staffs to take a part in industries; provide internships for students in industries, which will prepare the students better for entering the industry.
