B & B POYTECHNIC, V.V.NAGAR GTU has built bridge between
industry and education. I would like to say that before any great
things are accomplished,
A memorable change must be made in the system of education to
Raise the lower ranks of society towards higher, which is started by
GTU.
Hardik J. Prajapati, Lecturer, IT G.P.Himatnagar , Very nice workshop
arranged by GTU with the help of TCS. We have received industrial /
practical knowledge from them. I request you to arrange 1 week
training for this subject. I also request you to arrange this type of
workshops for other subjects also .
Way Ahead :TCS faculties can visit some of the diploma institutes to provide
on ground engagement opportunities to participants. GTU can organize the
visit for TCSers. TCS faculties would like to volunteer for the same. Also Since
time duration was a felt constraint, participants couldn’t have expected
hands on experience. We may consider for one day follow up session for same
faculties
To reach out to Govt Diploma Engg colleges GTU would like to collaborate
with DTE and request TCS to conduct FDPs. Given more than 700 faculties to
be trained, on request of GTU, TCS and GTU can have a formal MoU to
enhance Advanced Java skills of diploma engg faculties
