An Industry Institute Partnership Cell (IIPC) at Gurunanak Institute of

Technology was formed followed by a meeting of all HODs and Director

on 6th

November 2007. The objective and Activities were also formulated

thereafter and a Committee was formed. The prime objective towards the

formation of the IIPC was to mitigate the gap between the industry and

institute for the benefit of the students‘ community.

The IIPC of GNIT has taken initiatives to organize several seminars and

workshop aiming to help students to understand and adapt to the changes

between campus life and corporate life. Out of many seminars and summits,

GNIT organized a grand Summit at Oberoi Grand, Kolkata on 4th

September 2009 & the second was organized at Netaji Indoor Stadium,

Kolkata on 20th

August, 2011. These particular events were aimed at

helping students understand and adapt to the changes between campus life

and corporate life. Now that it is time for the recruitment process to start,

students will be going for company interviews in pursuit of their dream

jobs. However, students, while still in college, need to be aware of the

of 194

climate of the industry that they will soon be joining since the industry has

constantly changing needs and demands. The Summit is thus a platform

where the Industry leaders are invited in order to guide the students with

their own expertise, insights by sharing their own learning‘s and

experiences, offering them encouragement, mentoring, and invaluable

suggestions to show them the way forward.

Acknowledging our efforts both industry and government agencies have

made strategic tie-ups with our educational Institutions. Partnerships with

government and industry enhance each of our Institute's research,

education, and outreach mission. Such partnerships enable the Institute to

investigate new transportation trends and technologies, and to launch new

initiatives. Partners provide valuable funding, access to internships, and

enhanced educational opportunities through visiting lecturers, workshops

and special courses. Going hand in hand with government and the

industry gives us the extra edge of policy standpoints and industry trends.

of 194

There are some indentified problems encountered and resources provided to

implement the practice. These are:

The newly joined faculty members from other colleges who are not

accustomed with the culture and instinct of the mentorship scheme are

separately educated by the institute to get involved in the mentorship

scheme in the right direction.

Apart from regular theory and practical classes, allocating sufficient

time for one to one student interaction through mentorship program

sometimes becomes a constraint for the faculty members. However, the

institute encourages and appreciates such activities through the annual

appraisal of the faculty members.

Financial budgetary requirements has been planned to organize workshops by

hiring external experts in the subject of mentorship, organizational behaviour

and stress management on regular basis.
