INTRODUCTION:
The gap between industry requirements and academic input imparted to students does not seem to be decreasing for various reasons.
Information technology (IT) Industry looks primarily for strong basic concepts, initiative, analytical mind, ability to work in group and good communication skills in CSE /IT graduates from academic institutes. A good project work, an essential part of curriculum, provides opportunity to develop and demonstrate the desired skills. However, students because of improper and insufficient guidance end up taking projects that do not add much in their development. How to change it? This is one of the ways I am trying to make my small contribution and in the process bridging gap between industry and academic.
