THE School of Infrastructure Management and Development Strategies (MINDS) is seeking more corporate partners for its infrastructure management courses.
A division of the Bangalore-based Centre for Symbiosis of Technology, Environment and Management (STEM), MINDS has got support for its courses and likely placement of students from Larsen & Toubro Ltd (L&T).
Dr M. Panduranga Vithal, Director, MINDS, said, he expects the company to help fine-tune the school's syllabus and eventually absorb some of its students. But there is room for more such partners.
The logic of MINDS rests on its promise of reducing the time taken by a typical recruit to an infrastructure company, to acquire project management skills. Quite often this takes six to seven months. On the other hand, according to Dr Vithal, MINDS will acquaint the engineering graduate with the accounting and management inputs required for working on infrastructure projects.
MINDS, inaugurated in August, starts off with 40 seats. It plans to offer a one year-post graduate diploma from January 2005. On the drawing board are a one year-certificate programme and professional enrichment and research programmes of shorter duration.
