IIPC – Industry Institute Partnership Cell
About
The educational reform of linking technical education with industry has been amongst important educational innovations undertaken in this country. Education planners in India have been engaged in the task of bringing about a proper match between technical education and the needs of the industry; it is in the context that schemes such as practice school programmes, sandwich programmes and co-operative programmes have been introduced in the system of technical education.
The Government has initiated major economic reforms and changes in industrial policy since July 1991. Liberalization and globalization of the Indian economy will call for the adoption of the latest technologies and practices in various sectors. In the face of these swift changes, human resource development assumes a central place in our scheme of things. Technical manpower will have to meet the pressures of improved quality; reduced response times, seeking and sustaining new markets on one hand, and reduced Government interventions on the other. This calls for collaboration between the technical education and the industry in programme design, their implementation and evaluation.
Objective
The objective of the IIP Cell is to reduce the gap between industry expectations (practice) and academic offerings (theory) by direct involvement of industry to attain a symbiosis.
All the Stakeholders, namely: Institutions, Industry, Students and Society stand to gain as it can be a win-win partnership. The Institutions stand to gain by way of up to date curricula, source of revenue generation by consultancy and R & D, source of manpower for employment, societal relevance, and most importantly acquisition of brand name/equity; industry stands to gain by way of availability of employable manpower pool, and increased productivity; faculty stand to gain by way of exposure to latest industry practices for more effective teaching-learning processes, etc; students stand to gain by way of hands-on training, reduction of learning curve in industrial practices; and, society stands to gain by way of improved quality of goods and services.

This ensures that the students solve the genuine problem that plagued a particular Industry.
