TMU Established Strategic Empanelment with NASSCOM for Future Skills and Employability
Teerthanker Mahaveer University (TMU), through its Centre for Teaching, Learning and Development (CTLD), established a NASSCOM Strategic Empanelment to strengthen future skills, industry-focused education, and student employability. The association was announced on 24 June 2025 at the TMU campus in Moradabad. It marked an important step towards preparing students for the changing demands of the modern workplace.
The empanelment aimed to connect academic learning with industry expectations. Through this initiative, TMU planned to explore new learning opportunities, industry-recognised certifications, and skill-based education for students from different academic disciplines.
Objectives of the Strategic Association
The empanelment focused on improving education by introducing future-ready skills into the learning process. The university planned to promote digital skills, strengthen industry alignment, and make the curriculum more relevant to current job market needs.
The association also explored the integration of NASSCOM-endorsed Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and certification programmes. These learning opportunities were expected to help students gain practical knowledge and improve their career readiness while continuing their regular academic studies.
Another important objective was to support skill development based on industry requirements. The initiative reflected TMU’s commitment to providing education that prepared students for professional success.
Industry Collaboration and Academic Engagement
As part of the empanelment, representatives from NASSCOM participated in major university events, including Brain Manthan 5.0 and the National Seminar organised by TMU.
During these programmes, experts from academia and industry discussed future skills, curriculum improvement, and the expectations of employers from higher education institutions. These discussions helped create a better understanding between the university and industry leaders.
CTLD also submitted proposals to integrate NASSCOM-endorsed MOOCs into the university’s academic system. This initiative was expected to provide students with access to industry-recognised learning resources and certifications alongside their degree programmes.
Building a Future-Ready Academic Ecosystem
The empanelment reflected the university’s vision of creating a modern academic environment supported by industry partnerships and technology-based learning.
The collaboration was expected to strengthen curriculum development, improve employability, encourage skill-based education, and provide opportunities for students to earn recognised certifications. It also aimed to help students develop professional knowledge and practical skills needed in today's competitive job market.
By working closely with NASSCOM, TMU took another important step towards preparing graduates for future careers in different industries. The initiative supported the university’s continuous efforts to provide quality education that matched global industry standards.
Conclusion
The TMU NASSCOM Strategic Empanelment marked an important milestone in TMU’s journey towards industry-focused education and future-ready learning. Through this collaboration, the university strengthened its efforts to bridge the gap between classroom education and professional requirements.
The initiative was expected to benefit students by improving their skills, employability, and access to industry-recognised learning opportunities, helping them build successful careers in the future.
