The postgraduate courses will significantly enhance their skills and equip them to face real-world challenges."
The growing demand for skilled professionals in specialised areas underscores the significance of this partnership which seeks to bridge the gap between the academia and the industry by preparing postgraduate students with hands-on training and exposure to industry dynamics.
