     The industry with academia together can make a revolutionary change in students life in terms of skill development and project-based learning opportunities. However, academia can develop and contribute by providing an innovative solution for the industry. Industry and academia association can develop a self-sustained ecosystem and leads to the concept of industry on campus.

To strengthen the Industry Institute Relation, VIIT has established a department of Industry Relations in 2016. This department connects the various industries with VIIT on a various collaborative platform like new product development, capacity building, student-centric activities like visits, internship, projects, guest lectures and specialised and domain-specific training. Being an autonomous, Institute, students can be engaged in doing a real industry-based project.

Objectives:

1. To eliminate the gap between industry expectations & academic offerings by direct involvement of industry to attain a symbiosis.
2. To give industrial exposure to students,  and faculty members  thus enabling them to tune their knowledge to cope with the industrial culture
3. To forecast and recognise the industrial need and implement it in the curriculum for the skill enhancement for the students
4. To share the experience and expertise between institutions and industry for mutual benefit.
