“With the evolving dynamics of skill demands today, it is observed that there is a need to upskill the youth of Telangana to make them job ready.

The industry-relevant degree programme provides students with hands-on experience and allows them to build industry-ready skills. It provides opportunities for students to showcase skills to potential recruiters.

Telangana State Planning Board Vice Chairman B Vinod Kumar assured complete cooperation and support of the State government to make it pan-Telangana and also provide an opportunity to all students especially from the needy ones hailing from rural areas.
