Starting in the 2024-25 academic year, L&T EduTech is set to launch industry-integrated MTech programs in advanced IT areas such as Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Cybersecurity. These programs are created in collaboration with top-tier Indian higher education institutions. With LTIMindtree as the knowledge partner, these graduate programs are designed to close the gap between academic theory and industry application by providing students with specialised practical training and insights into industry practices. Students will have the unique opportunity to spend their second year at an LTIMindtree campus, gaining firsthand industry experience.
Mr. Sanjai Ranganathan, Chief Executive of L&T EduTech, commented, “By harnessing the combined capabilities of our group companies, we aim to equip students with advanced skills and prepare them for successful careers in emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.”
L&T EduTech has already signed Memorandums of Understanding with VIT University and Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai, to offer these programs. VIT Chancellor Dr G Viswanathan expressed his optimism about the initiative, stating, “We firmly believe that this partnership will greatly benefit both entities and the nation, as higher education is crucial for India to compete with developed countries and boost its per capita income.”
Mr. Abhay Meganathan, Vice Chairman of Rajalakshmi Institutions, noted, “Through this collaboration, we will introduce an MTech program in Data Science, aiming to equip students with essential skills for the professional world.”
Looking ahead, L&T EduTech plans to expand its partnerships with other leading educational institutions across India and introduce integrated undergraduate programs focusing on advanced IT disciplines for engineering students.
