AICTE's SAMBAV Initiative: Bridging the gap between academia and industry for student success

  • 01 Jun 2024

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Skillible, an Ed-Tech company, have joined forces to launch a ground-breaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing technical education and empowering students with industry-relevant skills.

 

The Skillible's Academic Model for Business-To-Academic Ventures (SAMBAV) program is set to benefit over 1 million students across the country, bridging the gap between academia and industry and preparing students for the challenges of the professional world.

 

The SAMBAV initiative is designed to address the complexities and challenges faced in the professional sphere, providing students with a comprehensive and immersive learning experience facilitated by industry veterans. With a focus on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), very large scale integration (VLSI), business intelligence (BI), decision intelligence (DI), Internet of Things (IoT), and cybersecurity, the program aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge demanded by modern technology firms.

 

One of the key features of the SAMBAV program is its industry-aligned curriculum, which covers cutting-edge technologies and methodologies endorsed by global tech leaders. This ensures that students are well-prepared to meet the current industry needs and challenges.

 

Additionally, the program emphasizes project-based learning, allowing students to work on meticulously crafted projects under the guidance of seasoned industry experts. This hands-on approach enables students to apply theoretical concepts to practical, real-world scenarios, enhancing their understanding and skillset.

 

 

Virtual internships play a crucial role in the SAMBAV initiative, providing students with valuable insights into industry workflows and processes. Facilitated by Skillible, these virtual internships offer students the opportunity to gain practical experience and exposure to the professional environment, further enhancing their employability and industry-readiness.

 

Interactive sessions led by renowned tech industry luminaries and professionals are another highlight of the SAMBAV program. These sessions provide students with a profound understanding of industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies, helping them stay ahead in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.

 

Continuous evaluation is an integral part of the SAMBAV program, ensuring that students undergo rigorous assessments and project evaluations to validate their mastery of acquired skills and knowledge. Upon completion of the program, participants are awarded a jointly issued certification from Skillible and AICTE, serving as a testament to their industry-readiness, technical proficiency, and commitment to excellence.
