INDUSTRY – ACADEMIA GAP

CurriculumCurriculum Outdated curriculum –need for regular up gradation based on industry requirement incorporating latest developments Outdated curriculum –need for regular up gradation based on industry requirement incorporating latest developments Non Applied – Pass outs feel lost when they join the Industry Non Applied – Pass outs feel lost when they join the Industry Interaction Rare and lacking focus Industry – Academia gap

InterdependencyInterdependency Industry & Academia working in Silos Industry & Academia working in Silos Applied R&D Research scholars pursue research on topics not beneficial to the industry Industry – Academia gap

Closer, regular and continuous Industry – Academia interaction with focus on Understanding Industry requirement Establishing a symbiotic relationship with the Industry Applied R&D specific to the industry Providing quality manpower to the Industry Contributing to strategic planning Suggestions

Highlight the benefit of Industry Oriented Academia to the Industry Supporting the research capabilities of universities will provide capacity for developing tomorrow’s technologies Bringing "real-world" perspectives to academic environment will enhance training Give Opportunity to identify promising candidates and form positive view of company for later recruitment Availability of trained engineers and geoscientists Suggestions

Specific funds to be allocated for equipment and HR support. Data availability through DGH Research scholars sponsored by Industry Retired personnel from E&P Industry to meet faculty requirements of Academia Academia Adoption by Industry Suggestions

Faculty shortage pertaining to relevant subjects to be hosted at various websites of Petroleum Industry / Universities Rotations (similar to industry practice on international assignments) for faculty from Industry Industry to provide “faculty fellowships” to bring salaries more in line with industry Industry to offer fellowships to graduate teaching assistants Industry to offer internship opportunities Suggestions
