Tamil Nadu Industries Push for Academia-Industry Synergy
Companies in Tamil Nadu want universities to teach students skills they can use in jobs.
They suggest students and teachers spend time in factories to learn how things work.
They also want the courses to change based on what industries need.
This is because even good students struggle with basic factory knowledge.
The goal is to help students be ready for jobs when they graduate.
They will also work together to see what jobs will be needed and what skills students will need to get them.
Tamil Nadu industries seek collaboration with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to create industry-ready students.
Industry leaders recommend internships for professors and students starting mid-course.
Emphasis is placed on curriculum changes based on industry input, including practical subjects.
