This calls for an urgent need for interaction of industries and academics. The industries can participate with institutes in moulding the students for industry ready by providing training. To materialize this, bridging the gap between industry and the institute is a must and for this, an Industry Institute Partnership Cell was constituted in February 2018 at ASIET.
