Pegasystems expands university partnerships in India for AI training
A technology company called Pegasystems helps universities teach about smart computer programs called agentic AI.
It announced big news at its event in Hyderabad, India.
Some universities are new partners, like VEMU Technical University.
Others, like UEM Kolkata and Woxsen University, are working even more closely with the company.
Pegasystems teaches the teachers first, because teachers can pass on what they learn for many years.
The company already works with 23 universities.
It wants to add 30 to 40 more universities this year, which is a lot!
The lessons last for one and a half years.
Some universities even give students credit for taking part in this programme.
This way, more students in India can learn about the smart computers of the future.
Pegasystems announced new and expanded university partnerships under its University Academic Program at its PEGAInnovate event in Hyderabad.
VEMU Technical University joined as a fresh partner, while UEM Kolkata and Woxsen University expanded their existing ties.
The company has 23 universities on board and plans to add 30-40 more this year.
The programme trains faculty to teach agentic AI and automation directly to students.
Each partnership runs as a 1.5-year cohort programme, with some universities offering it as a credit course.
