IIT Patna, TeamLease EdTech, And NSDC To Increase Employability For Graduates; Five Work-Related Degree Programs Announced

To improve graduate employability, TeamLease EdTech and NSDC inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Patna. IIT Patna has launched five work-linked degree programs as part of this Memorandum of Understanding: BBA in emerging business, BSc in cloud technology, BSc in artificial intelligence and deep learning, BCA (general), and BSc in information technology.

Candidates may apply to the five work-linked degree programs if they have completed Class 12 with 60% or higher in the applicable stream. These programs will begin accepting enrollment in January 2024.

Through their partnership, TeamLease EdTech, IIT Patna, and NSDC hope to fortify their combined advocacy and support of the development of an alternative higher education format that integrates employer connectivity, skill development, and high-quality formal education. According to an official statement, every student who wants to graduate from IIT Patna will have the choice of work-linked hybrid degree programmes thanks to this collaboration, which will also increase their employer signalling value.

The institution claims that the five features of the new work-linked hybrid degree programs include employer signalling, modularity, learning by doing, learning while earning, and learning with flexibility.

Through the programs, each learner will have the chance to obtain both an employer-issued experience certificate and an IIT degree. Students who are currently graduating can also enrol in these programs to complete their dual degrees. Thanks to an integrated digital platform, all students in the nation will be able to register for the program and enrol using their smartphones.
