This agreement has been signed keeping in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. NEP “emphasises stronger collaboration between academia and industry. The curriculum needs to be aligned with industry requirements, making provision for internships and apprenticeships for students to promote industry exposure. It is equally important to update the capacity of teachers for desired outcomes,” CBSE said in a notification.
