On April 30, 2012 Gargi Memorial Institute of Technology (GMIT) announced its tie-up with DFIC Management Consultants, Germany for a first of its kind collaboration programme at a press conference. The tie-up between DFIC Management Consultants Germany and GMIT is a sensational curtain raiser, opening a completely new horizon of collaboration approach amongst technical institutes across the globe for an exciting tomorrow.
Bodhisattva Banerjee, director, GMIT, said, “The objective of the tie-up is to help GMIT to establish relationship with European universities so that students can get international exposure after completing their studies. Students will be given a short-term exposure tour to enrich their knowledge and intercultural adaptability. The orientation programme will not only help the students to get oriented with the global standards of quality but also help them to become more confident and ready to face the corporate world. It is the first of its kind amongst private engineering colleges in eastern India. This will open new horizons in technical education and greatly benefit the students doing engineering in GMIT. For these students, ‘Geography’ is now ‘History’.”
All GMIT students, after completing their graduation course will be given opportunity to be sent abroad to get exposure to world-class work culture and gather firsthand knowledge on recent advancements in technology for a stipulated period. These visits would also directly help the students of GMIT to network with professional agencies and institutions abroad. These students on returning to India are expected to start their professional career on a high-note and are expected to meaningfully contribute to the growth of the nation.
Professor Peter P Mueller, an international consultant and renowned professor from Germany with more than 25 years of experience at partner level top positions in world will provide an edge to GMIT whenever the need arises. He will also render all possible help to GMIT to intimate the tie-ups with European universities through DFIC Management Consultants.
Professor Mueller said, “We are very passionate about bridging the gap that exists today, as far as the employability goes, amongst Indian engineering students. We expect that through innovative programmes like these, we can help reduce the gap to a great extent.”
