India is witnessing a significant challenge with the employability of its engineering graduates. Alarming statistics reveal that one in every two engineering graduates in recent years is unemployed. NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman, Mr Rajiv Kumar, highlighted this issue last year, stating that there is a 48 percent unemployment rate among engineering graduates in the country. This situation underscores a critical gap between the engineering curricula and the requirements of the industry, leaving many graduates underprepared for the job market.
Techno International New Town (TINT) stands out as a beacon of hope amidst this scenario. Established in 2005 under the aegis of Techno India Group, one of Asia’s largest and most acclaimed knowledge management groups, TINT has been on a mission to deliver quality education in science, engineering and management while grooming students to become professionals with strong values and ethics. The Institution has been recently awarded the prestigious Ananda Shiksha Samman for excellence in engineering and management education by ABP Ananda.

TINT takes proactive measures to bridge the academia-industry gap through specialized training programmes, workshops, hands-on internships, regular seminars, and expert talks. These initiatives are designed to enhance the practical skills and industry readiness of its students.

Regular classes on soft skills training and personality grooming from the very first year of studentship at TINT equip the students with the skills necessary to thrive in the competitive professional world.
Moreover, TINT’s partnerships with leading companies like Wipro Limited, Infosys Limited, Capgemini India, and Tata Consultancy Services Limited ensure that students receive training on the latest technologies and industry practices.
