Core Principle I: Industry-Linked
Extensive connectedness with industry is the hallmark of the NIIT University because of the focus on building great careers. This deep-connect is visible through: Six months, or a full semester, devoted to Industry Practice for undergraduates or an Internship for post graduates ensures rich hands-on experience in the workplace.
Accomplished industry professionals will teach a significant proportion of all programs; and the entire curriculum is regularly updated by an Industry Advisory Board and academicians to maximize relevance.
Industry-sponsored R&D projects at all levels allow students to participate in the latest industry research.
Career counseling, interview coaching and other placement activities are supported by a dedicated career development team to provide guidance and support for each student’s unique career aspirations.
An Incubation Centre will be established to catapult successful R&D projects from the drawing board into commercialization via implementation as live projects, or for patenting, licensing and technology transfer. Twenty-five acres (25% of the total campus master plan) is set aside for Incubation and allied activities.
