[anuseems]

At a press conference in Hyderabad earlier today, Microsoft launched a new program with an aim to build a deep long-term association between industry and academia

From WP Central:

As part of the Microsoft Academia Accelerator, Microsoft has collaborated with the faculty at 10 leading Indian engineering colleges with an aim to enhance the computer science curriculum in selective areas and foster student innovation and entrepreneurship.

The Microsoft Academia Accelerator is a depth-oriented program, targeting a subset of top-flight engineering colleges. A majority of the activities will get delivered on-site and thus exclusive to students at these campuses, but cuts across all engineering streams, which means non-computer Science students also get to learn about the amazing opportunities that software offers in todays world of devices and services.
