What interventions the Shridhar
University is taking for ‘skilling’
and enhancing ‘employability’ of the
students?
It is a well-established fact that employment today
is directly proportional to knowledge, skill and
attitude popularly known as kSA. While a student
is put through the prescribed “knowledge” capsule
through the prescribed syllabus, he is not given any
particular skills as formal input. We, at Shridhar
university, conduct “Skill” capsule to include:
• Soft Skill including communication skills.
• Social Skills.
• General knowledge and environmental skills.
As far as “attitude” is concerned it is developed
through actual conduct and formal lectures by
senior specialists and psychologists.
What are the initiatives Shridhar
University has undertaken in the
Student Startup domain?
Majority of our students come from rural area and
they look up for employment rather than startup.
However, we do realise that as a higher educational
Institute we should look into this aspect. As we
are finding that most of our students want job-
oriented training we are laying emphasis on that
aspect presently. In case, the need arises, we will
take initiatives towards Startup.
Many countries have started
introducing Artificial Intelligence
(AI), Coding etc. in the curriculum.
What initiatives is the Shridhar
University undertaking to make
students competent with the
emerging technological trend?
Shridhar university is a technology and livelihood-
oriented university. As far as technology is
concerned we are having collaboration with
Computer Aided designs (CAd) as also we teach
cloud computing techniques. However, we have
not yet reached the state of AI, and virtual reality
level. We do cater for practical, livelihood related
and daily useable technology needs as part of
our teaching. We teach web designing, CAd
and software programmers related to daily and
domestic use.Internship plays a vital role in
enhancing the employability of
students. Highlight the initiatives
Shridhar University has undertaken
to facilitate internship for students
to provide them hands-on experience
within a corporate working
environment?
