Better interaction between Technical institutions and industry is the need
of the hour. This will have great bearing on the Engineering Curriculum, exposure
of industrial atmosphere to engineering students and subsequent placement of
young graduating engineers in industries across the country. With the advent of
globalization and opening up of Indian economy to outside world, competition
among industries has become stiff. To solve their engineering problems they look
up now to Engineering Institutions. Similarly, there is an urgent need to prepare
engineering students for jobs in multinational companies, by exposing them to
newer technologies and engineering methodologies. These objectives can only be
achieved well by bridging the gap between industry and the academic institute.
