Bridge Programme

Academia to Industry

Academia and Industry are two different worlds which operate on different pedestals. The syllabus and add on programmes that are conducted in the UG, B Arch and MBA programmes are intended to cover the gap between these two worlds. To augment and to sort of cap this gap, the Finishing School will conduct an intensive bridge programme to facilitate the final transition of the passing out students from academics to industry. The programme will specifically cover two aspects, since many other gaps would have already been covered in the respective UG or PG programmes.
