Connecting Academia and Industry for a Thriving Future

At OP Jindal University, the Centre for Industry-Academia Collaboration (CIAC) serves as a vital bridge between academic learning and industrial advancements. Our mission is to ensure that academia remains attuned to the ever-evolving industrial paradigms, empowering students with a practical and informed perspective on industry expectations.

• Providing feedback to enhance academic curricula and research pursuits.
• Supporting the acquisition of technical resources and expertise.
• Strengthening partnerships between industry and academia.

Driving Excellence Through Collaboration

Through CIAC’s efforts, we aim to:

• Enhance the quality of technical and professional education.
• Bridge the gap between industry and academia through the cross-pollination of ideas.
• Align academic outputs with industry requirements to drive systemic improvements.

A Win-Win Partnership

By fostering a strong linkage between academia and industry, CIAC creates a mutually beneficial relationship. Students gain industry-relevant skills, while organizations benefit from research and talent ready for the dynamic marketplace.

Together, we are shaping a future where academic innovation meets industrial excellence.
