Goa Khabar : Karnataka\u2019s Deemed-to-be-University Siddhartha Academy of Higher Education (SSAHE) has today announced a strategic collaboration with upGrad School of Technology – a next-generation learning environment, to embed an industry-aligned School of Technology within the University\u2019s existing engineering programs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Led by the CEO Vishwa Mohan and the Chief Revenue and Outcome Officer Mehul Khandhedia, upGrad School of Technology will work closely with the University to provide academic and curriculum advisory support, while enabling deeper industry integration within the current programs. This includes embedding research exposure, build sprints, and continuous specialisations from Day 1, supported by AI-first learning technologies that deliver personalised learning pathways, real-time skill progress tracking, and academic support.<\/span><\/p>\n

Building on this collaboration, upGrad School of Technology will leverage its experience in building high-quality, job-focused learning systems for India\u2019s youth by strengthening the University\u2019s existing engineering framework and equipping students with enhanced, practitioner-led modules across emerging fields such as Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics, and Full Stack Engineering. Students will engage in extensive coding practice, project-based learning, and structured industry-linked opportunities that offer early exposure to tech roles and product-thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

The University, led by its Chancellor and Karnataka Home Minister Dr G. Parameshwara, is advancing this initiative to strengthen its Engineering curriculum with global-standard technology disciplines, research exposure, and entrepreneurial skill development. Commenting on the launch, <\/span>he said, \u201cThis collaboration marks a transformative moment for SSAHE as we bring global education and world-class technology learning to our campuses. Having produced more than 40,000 engineers over the years, SSAHE now moves into a new era of innovation-driven, industry-aligned education. By integrating cutting-edge global practices with our strong academic foundation, we are preparing our students to lead India\u2019s next wave of technological progress.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Vivek Veeraiah – Advisor to Chancellor, SSAHE, added, \u201cThis initiative will bring global education to SSAHE campuses and seamlessly integrate industry-driven, application-first learning so every student graduates as a future-ready technologist.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The latter stages of the initiative will also provide access to prototyping labs, seed-support channels, and masterclasses from global founders and CTOs, helping students ideate, build, and validate ventures within the University\u2019s innovation ecosystem. There are three tangible outcomes students can expect: opportunities to work with leading global technology companies; structured support to help students develop and validate startup ideas and entrepreneurial pathways, including access to funding support for eligible students; and a 360-degree ecosystem for deep-tech research in India and abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUniversities have long been the backbone of India\u2019s engineering education, offering strong theoretical foundations and academic rigour. As technology evolves rapidly, students increasingly benefit from a parallel, application-first learning layer that complements the University\u2019s core curriculum, strengthens students\u2019 overall readiness for modern tech roles. That’s what we want to do and train them in real time, to ensure by the time, they graduate, they are no longer freshers, but industry-ready contributors\u201d, said Vishwa Mohan and Mehul Khandhedia in a joint statement.<\/p>\n

In phase 1, upGrad School of Technology will focus on university and institutional partnership across South India and will scale nationally over the next phase.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur youth is living through a world in flux and that\u2019s India\u2019s greatest advantage. We\u2019re no longer competing on cost; we\u2019re competing on capability. As India moves from labour arbitrage to becoming a true talent magnet, universities like Siddhartha remain the core engines of this shift. With this collaboration, we\u2019re laying the foundation for India\u2019s next generation of innovators and job creators and setting a benchmark the world will learn from,\u201d concluded Ronnie Screwvala.<\/p>\n

The upGrad School of Technology will bring together Hon. Dr. G. Parameshwara, Chancellor, SSAHE and Karnataka Home Minister, along with academic and industry leaders in Bengaluru on 20 December, to mark the inauguration and discuss how India\u2019s engineering youth will shape the Viksit Bharat journey.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
