Industry Institute Partnership Cell

At MRCET, Industry Institute Partnership cell (IIPC) is established for enhancing the relationship between the institute and industry. This cell identifies the industrial expectation and promotes institutional preparation for meeting industrial needs by facilitating sponsored R&D projects, seminars, workshops and various other industrial training programmes like Internships, industrial visits, Project works, Guest lectures, Panel discussions, etc.

To bridge the gap between the theoretical and practical aspects of the curriculum, Corporate Interaction is extremely important. The Industry Interaction Cell recognizes this need and addresses it through the regular associations with corporate world to provide industry exposure to the students and enables them to explore the skills besides what is being imparted in the classrooms.

With our ever-increasing attempt of giving maximum exposure of the industry, latest market trends and guidance to our students time to time, MRCET has found its niche in the academic world. Referring to the growing trend of industry-institute interaction, we have been striving towards building up relationship with the industry. Through this, specialized programs are being organized periodically on various topics and the faculty get trained on advanced topics by Industry experts. Such programs bridge the gap that students normally would encounter between Academia and the Industry.
