Evidence of Success:
Industry participation makes students learn from new perspectives and helps create rapport with
industry persons. It provides greater clarity and has an impact on their placement interviews. The
most meaningful aspect is that such tie-ups acknowledge and capitalize on the relative strengths of
the academia and the industry.
Thanks to VIT’s strategy, students are deployed on prestigious projects by the industry. Industrial
mentors recognize the work done by the students, which has in turn resulted in innovation
challenge awards and the prestigious ARIIA award from the Government of India in 2019. A
total of 2038 Industrial expert guest lectures have been conducted so far. Industry participation
in academics has resulted in 169 consultancy projects in the last five years. Industry linkages
have paved the way for 1926 project-based internships and 700 plus companies visiting
regularly with attractive job opportunities to our students through the “dream” and “super-dream”
offers. Industry participation in academics has facilitated 298 patents published in the last 5 years.
Through these practices, VIT-TBI supported 25 start- ups, conducted 9 Industry conclaves and
over 107 workshops on Industry-Academia Innovative during the last 5 years.
