Infosys Foundation and Indian National Academy of Engineering Collaborate to Transform Engineering Education in India

Infosys Foundation, the philanthropic and CSR arm of Infosys, today announced that it has signed a four-year MoU with the Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) to enhance and transform engineering education in India. This collaboration will aim to upskill educators associated with INAE and provide students with quality internships and project mentorship assigned by INAE. Infosys Foundation has committed a grant of over Rs 38 crore for this initiative, to uplift the quality of training for engineering professionals and institutions.

Through this initiative, educators will be able to upskill themselves through a mix of in-person and virtual support, strengthen their technical expertise, classroom management ability, and enhance student engagement. Under this program, INAE will provide students enrolled in Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) and Bachelor of Engineering (B. E.) courses with project-based internships and year-long mentorships. INAE will also equip them with essential technical and professional skills which will boost their employability. Around 600 accomplished mentors, drawn from the top academic institutions in India, will aim to mentor over 2,000 teachers and 1,700 students.

Prof. Indranil Manna, INAE, said, “We thank Infosys Foundation for helping us take forward our mission to raise the quality and credibility of the engineering education ecosystem in India. By bridging the gap between academia and industry through practical learning and educator development, we aim to inspire a new generation of talent, a refreshed engineering curriculum and teaching methodologies.”

Sumit Virmani, Trustee, Infosys Foundation, said, “Our collaboration with INAE furthers Infosys Foundation’s commitment to shaping the future of education in India. By working with INAE, we hope to empower educators with the right set of teaching skills, and provide students with real-world learning experiences through internships, and meaningful guidance from mentors that will collectively contribute towards boosting employability of the engineering workforce in India.”
