What is Industry-Academia Collaboration

In this dynamic world, filled with opportunities and cut-throat competition, skill sets are necessary to find a job and kick-start the graduate's career. Students with different skill sets can solve problems by looking at them from different angles, which is a key factor in obtaining jobs. The researchers have identified the four disciplines—commerce and managemet, computer science, psychology and engineering—as the key domains in the 21st century for better employability. From the literature, researchers have identified the skills and their application in the proposed domain and the ways to upskill the identified skills. The study's implications are a ready reckoner for stakeholders—educators, hiring organizations, students, policymakers, researchers, government, and institutions—for better industry-academic collaboration and understanding of the skill set required for job orientation.
