What are you looking out for this year?

The campus remains an indispensable platform for us to hire fresh talent. We look forward to bringing on board the students we offered last year. We are yet again, in search of the new talent spanning across horizons. While hiring, we look for potential and learning ability, amongst other things we will focus on inclusion and diversity as well, something that has been crucial to our success over the last few years. Young talent is a crucial element in our talent strategy.

Do you think T-Schools are doing enough in education?

what more should they do? T-Schools have come a long way– from the conventional methods of academic articulation to matching the latest industry standards. There are a lot of colleges that now emphasize E-Learnings, Guest Lectures, and Mentorship Sessions. In fact, even the teachers/HoDs are now going through rigorous internship programs to coach the students in an industry-specific manner.

There are student exchange programs, which expose the students to an entirely different environment, culture, and a distinct of technologies which are pivotal in making them think from a different angle to everything they do. Colleges, with the help of companies, conduct Codathons (coding marathons) every now and then.
