Employability is built with industry in the room.

Students choose institutions partly on placement outcomes, and recruiters prefer campuses where graduates already understand how work is done. NAAC looks for evidence of collaborations, functional MoUs and industry interaction, and NEP 2020 pushes for internships and practical learning. Yet many MoUs exist only on paper, and guest sessions depend on whichever alumni or contacts a faculty member happens to have.

We design industry engagement programmes that run through the academic year. Practitioners deliver guest lectures and mentoring linked to the curriculum, Centres of Excellence are planned with suitable industry partners, and collaborations are structured with clear activities, owners and records. Through the MSM Unify network and our team’s education relationships, we source partners across sectors, and every activity is documented for accreditation and placement reporting.

MoUs on paper

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you help fund a Centre of Excellence?
We help plan Centres of Excellence and approach suitable industry partners, which may include partners willing to contribute equipment, software, curriculum or funding. Any contribution depends on the partner’s own decisions, so we present realistic options rather than promises. Any agreement is documented with clear roles and obligations.
Do you also handle placements?
Industry engagement strengthens placement relationships but is not a placement agency service. We work alongside your placement cell, and our career readiness programmes prepare students for recruiter expectations. Placement outcomes depend on many factors, and we do not guarantee them.
What drives the cost of an industry engagement programme?
Main factors are the number of programmes covered, the frequency and seniority of industry sessions, whether CoE planning is included, travel requirements and the level of documentation support needed. We scope these with you before proposing a plan, and programmes can start small with a few departments before expanding across the institution.
