The Hindu Business Line : MphasiS’ College Connect

MphasiS, an EDS company, said Monday it formally launched its College Connect programme to help create talent that can be deployed on real time project work immediately. As part of the initiative, MphasiS will partner with engineering colleges to try to bridge the gap between academics and industry needs, the company said. The company said the College Connect initiative has a four pronged approach and would support infrastructure development, research for faculty driven pr ojects, research grants for faculty to work with EDS/MphasiS among other things. It would also support summer internships for students, mentoring, and shadow programs, the company added. A pilot of this programme is currently underway with Birla Institute of Technology Ranchi, MIT Pune, MSEC Chennai, New Horizon (Bangalore), NIST Berhampur (Orissa) and Sathyabama University (Chennai).
