JAMMU, July 12: To address the growing need of engineering talent with skills in digital technology, TCS, in partnership with leading academicians across India, has designed a curriculum for 4 years undergraduate program on Computer Science titled “Computer Science and Business Systems (CSBS)”.
This curriculum aims to ensure that the students graduating from the program not only know the core topics of Computer Science but also develop an equal appreciation of humanities, management sciences and human values. The students are exposed to emerging topics such as Analytics, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things etc to make them industry ready at the end of four years of study. This curriculum has been approved by the Executive Committee of AICTE and is available in the AICTE drop-down menu of nomenclatures for engineering course.
TCS has launched this course in the academic year 2018-19 in partnership with three engineering colleges across India and plans to scale up to a large number of premium institutes from the academic year 2019-20.
Today, Chandigarh University, Mohali signed a MoU with TCS to offers CSBS program to the students in the upcoming batch. The MoU was signed by Dr RS Bawa, Vice Chancellor, Chandigarh University and Ranjan Bandyopadhyay, Global Vice President – Human Resources, TCS. Also present at the occasion were Rajit Sikka, Head of Academic Interface Programme- India North from TCS; S S Seghal, Executive Director Chandigarh University; Himani Sood, Director – Corporate Relations with Deans and Senior Faculty Members of the University.
As part of the MoU, TCS will support Chandigarh University by training and developing their faculty, organising guest lectures by expert practitioners from the industry and by engaging in continuous assessment of the students. Additionally, TCS will also offer internship to select students undergoing this program and involve them in meaningful projects to provide first-hand exposure to the real-life business problem.
According to Ranjan Bandyopadhyay, Global Vice President, Human Resources, TCS: “Through this program, we are confident to develop bright, committed and ethical Computer Science graduates to address the future human resource needs of Indian IT industry in the era of Business 4.0”.
