Tata Infotech arm to redesign courses
Telegraph - May 25, 2002

The education services division of the Rs 525-crore Tata Infotech plans to focus on developing new modules and courses in the areas of telecom, banking, insurance and IT services during the current financial year. "We have identified four areas that we expect will drive growth in the IT industry this year," says Rahul Thapan, head of the education services division.

"We have also redesigned" our existing courses to cater to the requirements of the industry". Speaking on the courses being developed for the IT services industry, Thapan says, "We will focus not only on the human aspect of the call centre business, but also on the back-end technical areas. The courses will include training in the fields of networking, data storage, web application development and data administration".

Based on the research conducted by IMRB, Tata Infotech Education has adopted what it calls a 360-degree learning approach for the IT industry. Elaborating on its approach towards training, Thapan said, "Tata Infotech is trying to provide a comprehensive learning platform for students through a three-way partnership between the institution, academics and companies for the emerging sectors."

"Our learning approach includes perspectives from industry, career, student, product (the course), delivery (or the methods of training) and academic. It is driven by the requirements of industry and based on the feedback, the institute creates products, services and solutions for students and corporate customers," adds Thapan.
