He said that the theme of the conclave is ‘Employability and Emerging Technologies’ under TEQIP-3 Project. The aim of conclave is to provide a platform for industry and academic personnel to share their innovative ideas and upgrade their knowledge as per industry requirement.
About 150 representatives from industries participated in this conclave, he added. The programme was presided over by the Vice Chancellor Dinesh Kumar.
On the occasion, Vice Chancellor Dinesh Kumar said that the University has produced a lot of industry leaders who are working for their innovative ideas and have excelled in their field.
Encouraging the students for start-ups, Vice Chancellor said that the students should set up their own ventures instead of working in established industries.
He also emphasised to incorporate changes in the curriculum as per the technology needs.
A panel discussion and various expert lectures and competitions were also held during the conclave focused on emerging technologies and new job opportunities in different sectors. About 15 start-up ideas and 26 prototypes were displayed in the conclave.
