CIR has been conducting training in the three major areas of Life skills – Quantitative Aptitude, Verbal and Communication Skills and Soft Skills.
At Amrita, companies vie with each other to be the early birds for hiring, thanks to the quality of students, past and present. Our alumni have created such a great impression in the minds of their employers through hard work, commitment and a rare sense of dedication to the profession that all our past recruiters come again and again to recruit, their offtake increasing with each passing year.
Placement for students of engineering, arts, science and allied courses are handled by one group of experts with Head-Placement at the top.
Some of the key aspects that are taken into account by the placement team are as follows:
Placements at Amrita have always been excellent. Be it Engineering or Arts and Science, students who are eligible and opt for placements have more than one job offer, on an average. Exercising their dream option, some of them have upto three job offers.
Some highlights of the placements so far:
During the different stages of the life cycle of an organisation, it will have different priorities and challenges. Many a time, the organisational elements that are effective and appropriate at one stage may not be suitable for success in another stage. This is especially true when there are rapid changes in the market, economy, technology, and in the nature of human resources. In order to survive and grow, organisations have to align their human resources and technology to their goals and need to be abreast with customer demand and stiff competition. Every organisation today has to continuously bring in new knowledge and skills and transform and evolve itself to meet the long-term and short-term goals and challenges. Organisations will benefit more from consulting inputs provided by outside experts rather than solely depending on the knowledge and resources within the organisation. Most of the organisations today engage external consultants for different sorts of technical, organisational and human resource development.
CIR is best equipped to provide both technical and management consulting to organisations. The strength of CIR in this area is the accumulated wisdom as a result of its several years of guidance provided by its highly experienced senior academic members, who are at the helm of affairs.
Developing entrepreneurship skills amongst students has gained ground in recent times. Most futuristic models of education are focused towards creating graduates who would either want to become an entrepreneur immediately on graduation or after a few years in industry or the corporate world. Encouraging innovative ideas and developing entrepreneurial orientation are some of the key objectives of this initiative. Keeping this in mind, Amrita has established the Amrita Centre for Entrepreneurship (ACE) at Coimbatore, and a Technology Business Incubation Centre at Amritapuri.
The Amrita Centre for Entrepreneurship (ACE) was inaugurated on 27 June 2011. The ACE Charter is to: “Provide an eco-system that will kindle, nurture and support the innate desire and ideas lying dormant in the individual and create avenues to fructify those ideas into meaningful enterprises”.
ACE has been involved in the following activities:*
The Corporate Relations wing of CIR focuses on achieving the following objectives:
CIR has signed many Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the corporate sector, that are beneficial to students, faculty, the University and the industry. These MoUs cover various areas as listed above.
There is a high level of industry interaction through these MoUs and Joint Ventures signed between Amrita and the corporate sector, along with Non Disclosure Agreements. A few of the prestigious brands and the salient features of the industry-academia cooperation with them (respectively), are listed as follows:
In addition, many companies like Accenture, IBM, etc. conduct guest lectures and webinars on various technical topics.
The Corporate Action Plan template is discussed by CIR with the senior officials of the industry and the corporate world to arrive at possible areas of cooperation. Thereafter, based on areas of mutual interest, a template is arrived at to take them to the next level.
The Corporate Communication (Corp-Com) function is a new initiative of the Directorate. It is primarily responsible for profiling Amrita with key media, industry bodies, government and other important stakeholders. The Corp-Com responsibility entails managing the university’s relationship with senior journalists and publications of importance, key influencers within the academic community, university circles and industry associations. Corp-Com is responsible for communicating our overall strategy to staff across the different campuses and implementing activities that engage and motivate staff across the department and the university. It is the responsibility of the Corp-Com Coordinator based in Ettimadai, to assess, track and share corporate communication activities and best practices amongst all campus locations.
