Dr. K.P. Srinivas Rao,Chairman Getting into a reputed college and graduating with a respectable score would have been the definition of success in the earlier days. However, the way things have turned out, to be a graduate is only a halfway checkpoint. Today, the real hustle starts when you are trying for a job and as things stand, the majority of the graduates in India are not industry-ready, meaning that the skills of the students are not enough to meet the employers' requirements. With this being the case many institutions and private training agencies have started updating their curriculum to accommodate the ever-changing industry requirements. One of the hardest segments to get employed is the engineering industry. With thousands of students passing out every year, the various engineering institutions are trying everything in their control to give an edge for their students over their peers from other institutes.

Taking the philosophy of job-oriented education to the next level is Matrusri Engineering College. A part of the Matrusri Education Society, the college is well known and widely appreciated for offering quality education, industry interaction, and a model curriculum. Established in 2011, Matrusri Engineering College was the result of the desire of its founders to provide quality education to the young generation with stress on personality development and inculcation of human values among their students. Education and discipline are given equal importance in the institute resulting in their students excelling at both, the professional and personal fronts. Matrusri Engineering College strives to create a community of learning in which students acquire knowledge and apply them professionally with societal concern and to maintain a research environment with an opportunity to create, apply and disseminate knowledge to the needs of society and the industry.

Bridging the Gap Between Academia And Industry
As a premier institution, Matrusri Engineering College has been
