Hexagon to make more Hyderabad students industry-ready

HYDERABAD: Hexagon Capability Center India (HCCI), the single largest R&D hub of the technology major Hexagon AB, on Wednesday signed an MoU with BVRIT Hyderabad College of Engineering to collaboratively prepare students for the evolving industry needs.

The engagement will include offering internships, mentorship programmes, exposure to state-of-the-art technologies along with software engineering practices, and possible employment offers. Students will be able to participate in paid projects on industry-specific use cases.

Further, HCCI will help BVRIT curate its curriculum concerning Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ML. The plan also includes providing exposure to collaborative technology-focused events and Hackathons.

The initiative is the fifth shared university project for HCCI since 2015. HCCI is proud to be able to equip the future talent pool with their sponsored labs for GNSS, Advance analysis, 3D technology and Metrology. The labs provide hands-on experience in the latest technologies and engineering platforms to help increase the employability of students.

In 2020, HCCI also signed an MoU with the government of Telangana to contribute towards the government's commitment to sustain and grow the AI knowledge base in the city and state. Their institute, HexArt, an AI Community Centre, has provided 2,500+ AI certifications to students from schools and engineering colleges so far after negating them in a detailed learning and projects step-up.
