Testimonial
It’s always a joy to get appreciations on the work we do
CII has been conducting various initiatives in creating platforms for Academia and Industry to interact and closely working with AICTE along with premier academic Institutions to facilitate industry – institute collaborations.
Today’s fast paced and technology driven business environment poses a real challenge for the business managers to get competent engineers with right talent suiting to the industry specific requirements.
We believe that CII – iPATE will enable us to quickly find engineers matching with our requirements. This will not only improve the overall efficiency of the hiring process but also provide opportunities to the aspiring engineers to find right working environment suiting to their skills and competencies.
iPATE is an excellent initiative by CII to map and assess the availability of technical talent across PAN India. It is a great tool for recruitment in various technical disciplines that will greatly benefit the Indian Industry.
Ambuja Neotia is looking forward to hire iPATE certified quality engineers into different business verticals in the coming days.
CII-iPATE is a much needed initiative that will greatly benefit both engineering graduates and hiring organizations by providing a trusted, rigorous platform to connect and hire.
iPATE by CII is a great revolutionary step for all engineering graduates in the country, as it will give them a clear idea about the skill set needed for being useful to the industry. It will also help the industry in selecting suitable engineers prima-facie equipped with necessary cognitive, technical and professional abilities essential for industrial environment.
I must congratulate you on this great initiative. Looking forward to see the positive outcomes from this. And would love to work on integrating this with our National Digital Library of India to reach wider masses.
I appreciate and applause CII to conduct iPATE for driving a new facet in Industry 4.0 era. Indeed it's need of the moment. We would be encouraging all our Final year students to take iPATE, that will give each one of them to test waters of the industry world and rise to the expectations of the industry. It will also open doors for self-review to introspect our curriculum and prepare our graduates for meeting challenges of the future.
