With India’s GDP growing at an average of 8.5% for the last 5 years, we are poised to become the one of the three largest economies in the world.

The infrastructure sector is the key driver of all economic growth. Hence, the 12th plan is laying greater emphasis on this sector that largely comprises of the following verticals:

Housing & Urban Development
Highways & Road Construction
Shipping
Ports
Railways
Airports
Telecommunications
Power

Almost each of these sectors underperformed against the planned targets, largely due to shortage of skilled and competent manpower at all levels, including middle and senior managers.

The real challenge therefore, is to train and produce knowledgeable, skilled and competent engineers and managers, who acquire a fair degree of familiarity with the sector of their choice and work related responsibilities that await them. This would not only ensure that the Industry employing them gets the benefit of a competent manager, but also the individual would be able to grow personally and professionally.

The answer lies in building strong academic-industry partnerships in training and preparing young engineers and managers for the tasks that lie ahead. SelaQui Academy of Higher Education has taken a major initiative in this direction and has forged critical, strategic relationships with various industry associations to cater to their ever-growing demands for professionals.

Instead of handing out ordinary B. Tech, MBA, BBA or any other professional degree to its students, SelaQui, with its strategic partnership with infrastructure sector industry associations, is putting together industry specific ‘Finishing Programs’ so that both the industry and the student may benefit. The industry benefits by way of getting a job ready professional and the individual benefits by way of getting a good start in career.

Getting a professional degree is the very least you can do at SelaQui. While we work hard with students to prepare them for the university degree, we also prepare them for life by imbuing other soft skills they will need in professional life. Students learn presentation & communication skills, decision-making abilities, risk analysis during their final year, while they train in the specific tasks of the industry of their choice.
