Bfactory is an innovation in the education industry. The brainchild of two IIM Ahmedabad alumni, aimed at changing the classroom environment across the engineering colleges. Even though the companies are moving towards the online and digital channels, two trailblazing IIM Ahmedabad alumni are focused on method-oriented classroom learning. On their mission to improve the education sector, they emphasize on the integration of education and technology.
According to the Annual Employability Survey 2019 by Aspiring Minds: 80% of Indian engineers are not fit for any job in the knowledge economy. Only 47% of students attend industry talks and about 60% of faculty do not discuss how engineering concepts apply to industry, thus limiting the industry exposure even further.
India has enough engineering colleges, producing about two million engineers per annum. But the best out of the IITs and Regional Engineering Colleges make a beeline for universities abroad. The next best go for management and prefer to sell soaps and oil rather than doing engineering. The next lot goes to the IT sector, which is very lucrative. There are still large numbers left who, unfortunately, are not of the required quality.
Bfactory’s new initiative eXtraSem helps students to become industry ready and hone their technical and soft skills before entering the competitive and highly dynamic corporate world.
