Beginning this academic year, students enrolled in four-year degree programmes at colleges affiliated to Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU) will receive substantial support from the State’s industrial sector.
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Central Travancore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CTCCI) have teamed up with the university to develop a framework aimed at enhancing student skill development, providing industry training, facilitating research endeavours, and nurturing entrepreneurship initiatives.
According to the agreement, the Business Innovation and Incubation Centre at the university will coordinate activities between industry associations and affiliated colleges. Additionally, the centre will facilitate employment opportunities for students through job fairs, with plans underway to integrate short-term industrial training into the curriculum.
