Talking about these collaborations, Alka Madhan, Director-Corporate Relations at UPES, said, “UPES gives its students a competitive advantage through strategic industry partnerships that transforms them into employable, agile professionals ready to take future jobs. The thriving partnerships between the University and several leading Indian and international organizations across the sectors provide our students with ‘real world’ education and ‘on-the-job’ experiences that make them industry-ready and relevant.

“We are confident that our students will get great value from our recent academic partnerships with BSE Institute and Infosys, as has been the case with our existing collaborations as well”.

The academic partnership between UPES and Infosys is for the B.Tech Geo Informatics Engineering program that UPES offers at its School of Engineering.  Infosys will assist UPES in developing the program curriculum to make it industry aligned & contemporary and their subject matter experts will teach specific course modules to students. Eligible UPES students will also get opportunities to undergo summer internship with the organization. Under UPES’ unique faculty-immersion initiative ‘Abhigyat’, faculty members will do internships and projects at Infosys to stay updated with latest trends and technologies.
