Bengaluru: To ensure that graduating students possess employability skills as demanded by new-age companies, Bangalore University (BU) is introducing courses such as Data Science, Machine Learning, and Full Stack Development.
Focus on Al-Driven Employability Skills
To further enhance the employability of its graduates, Bangalore University has partnered with the Wadhwani Foundation to incorporate Artificial Intelligence (Al)-driven employability skills into the curriculum. This collaboration will see Al modules integrated into existing courses, providing students with the tools needed to thrive in the ever-evolving job market. The initiative also aims to equip teachers with the latest pedagogical methods to effectively deliver these new courses.
“This initiative is primarily aimed at improving the employability of our students,” said a senior official from the university. The official emphasised that the programme is designed not only to help students secure jobs but also to equip them with the skills necessary to sustain and advance in their careers.
Partnership with the Wadhwani Foundation
Sheikh Latheef, Registrar of Bangalore University, highlighted the comprehensive nature of the partnership with the Wadhwani Foundation. “One of the primary goals of this collaboration is to ensure that students not only secure employment, but also have the tools to sustain and advance in their careers. Through this partnership, students will have access to masterclasses, alumni connect sessions, mentorship opportunities, and more,” he explained.
Sunil Dahiya, Executive Vice-President of the Wadhwani Foundation, spoke on the broader impact of this initiative. “By integrating Al into the curriculum, we are not only enhancing employability skills but also contributing to the larger goal of building a resilient and adaptive workforce,” Dahiya said.
