Amity University Online has collaborated with TCS iON, a strategic business unit of Tata Consultancy Services, with the aim to help students of BCA and MCA programmes be industry-ready with specialisations in Cloud and Security, Data Analytics, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, and Machine Learning.
Assured internships will be provided between fourth and sixth semesters for BCA students, and in the third semester for MCA students. Final-semester students will also be assisted with placement opportunities.
With the aim to train and skill the youth, every aspirant at Amity University Online will have access to mentors from the industry. Existing BCA and MCA students will also have the opportunity to pursue these specialisations.
Ajit K Chauhan, chairman, Amity University Online, said, “In today’s ever evolving times, bridging the skills gap remains a persistent challenge faced by universities especially so in the IT and tech related programs. In the backdrop of consistently transforming technology, having a partner in TCS iON will ensure a continuous dynamic learning environment. Integrated lectures directly from the industry and remote internship opportunities will further strengthen the career readiness and employability of our students.”
Venguswamy Ramaswamy, global head - TCS iON, said, “Digitisation has increased the hiring of professionals in new-age technologies like cloud computing and data analysis. The Indian job market is one of the largest hubs for employing these professionals, yet, according to some estimates around a million jobs in data science were vacant at the end of August 2020. The course provides remote internships and placement assistance along with industry mentorship which will help improve the employability quotient of students.”
