The Hindu Business Line : Pollachi college ties up with TVS for diploma course

Coimbatore, July 6 Nachimuthu Polytechnic College in Pollachi and TVS Motor Co have come together to offer a three-year Diploma Programme in Mechanical Engineering (Sandwich Pattern) from this academic year.

The course is being sponsored by TVS Motor Co, its Senior Vice President (HR & TQC), Mr V. Kovaichelvan said. The sponsorship for a batch of 30 is estimated at Rs 50 lakh.

Sharing details, he said faculty drawn from the institution and TVS Motor would conduct the programme based on a customised curriculum to suit the needs of the sponsoring company.

Internship

Candidates registered would have to undertake a two-month internship every year and a six-month project on completion of the three-year course. On successful completion, they would be absorbed by TVS Motors. Candidates, however, would have to execute a bond. The terms are being worked out, he added.
