U.S. firm to train Engineering students

In an effort to make students industry-ready, B.S. Abdur Rahman University has entered into an agreement with RevaturePRO, an American company, to provide training in software to its students.

The workforce development training programme aims at giving students a real time exposure to the industry when they are in their fourth year. The students will receive 15 months of training which will prepare them for work immediately upon employment, without the initial company training.

N. Senthil Kumar, India director of the company, says that with their experience in the U.S., it was a logical step to tap the potential in India. The company has set up an e-learning portal which is now used by around 40,000 students in the U.S., he adds. Interestingly, the portal itself was designed and developed in India and continues to receive technical support from the country.

Real value of engineering studies

Edubilla Latest Blogs

Many prefer engineering just for a fashion nowadays without knowing its real value. See engineering as a challenging profession in which you can succeed only if you have passion towards it.

Engineering = science + practical knowledge + technology + reality
