III CELL

An active Industry Institute Interaction Cell (III Cell) has been functioning in the Institute. The function of the Cell is to promote closer interaction between the academic field and the professional field. Industry Institute Interaction Cell is established to provide closer links with industries. The purpose of the cell is to find out the gap between need of the industry and end product of the institute. The cell is the bridge between the industry, the real world and the institute. Industrial exposure of Faculty is very much helpful to guide students about latest industrial practices. Industries are able to know recent developments and inventions in their fields and implement projects for technologically driven economy.

Better edge between Institutions and Industry is of utmost importance in current business scenario. For students it is vital because they get experience to industry and later on placement in various disciplines. With the introduction of globalization and seamless Indian economy, to outside world, tough competition amongst the industries has been observed in recent times. So industries also need smart aspirants who are conscious of industry criterions and must be able to achieve them. Therefore, there is a vital need of interaction of industry and academics where business schools must prepare students for jobs in MNCs and industry may also be benefited by receiving well-trained staff. An Industry Institute Interaction Cell (IIIC) has been formed in Anand Institute of Management in 2016 to bridge the gap between required skills for competent workforce with industry readiness.
