Abstract
Industries spend tremendous amount of time and money in converting a fresh graduate to a workable employee due to the gap between academic curriculum and industry needs. There is a growing demand for creating employable man power at university level by suitably augmenting the university curriculum. Organizations like CII, NASSCOM, National Skill Council of India, AICTE are stressing the need of imparting industry needed skills to engineering students in campus. Certain IT and related industries are increasing their focus to creating readily employable man-power rather than involvement in research activities with universities. This paper presents a case study of evolution of collaboration between industry, Govt agencies and the institute to impart industry-oriented training in campus, with an integrated curriculum. The paper provides a methodology for developing and implementing of the collaborative course delivery that can be adopted by different engineering studies. The success of the collaborative teaching has been shown by means of observed benefits using certain performance metrics.
