The scope of the MoU covers various areas of collaboration like Additive Manufacturing service, joint research and projects, career oriented and career progression academic programmes. This collaboration is key to fostering innovation and growth in technology. The topics of this MoU are well aligned with the focus areas as mentioned in the National Strategy for Additive Manufacturing, released by Government of India in February 2022.

Commenting on this occasion, Dr Iven Jose, Dean, School of Engineering and Technology (SOET) said that Industry preparedness of the graduates largely depends on the industry oriented skills and relating the theory with the applications. Industry collaborations help bridge the gap between Industry and Academia in terms of skill training, experiential learning and industry practices. The MoU signed with esteemed company WIPRO 3D is envisaged for a long-term engagement to benefit students and faculty for training on different aspects of digital manufacturing and Industry automation. He expressed his gratitude to WIPRO 3D for collaborating with SOET.
