The industry-institute collaboration is one of the key aspects required for the creation and growth of market related knowledge, to produce job ready graduates who are well trained and can cope up with the demands of the industry. Thousands of MBA students graduate every year from B-schools, in which half of the MBA students are not considered fit for the Industry by employers. The institutes aim at creating new knowledge and providing fundamental education to students, whereas industry focuses on application oriented knowledge which can be transformed into profits of business goals. The major challenge here is to transform their knowledge gathered in Institutions into an application which has industrial need.
