Partnership objectives

The CSE Partner Network is designed to foster mutually beneficial relationships between select industry partners and the department of CSE. This collaboration provides members with increased access to students and faculty, increased visibility, communication to shape the curriculum, and executive involvement. The partnership provides the department of CSE the diversification of funding sources, access to world-class resources and industry experts, and marketplace needs that are worthy of advanced R&D.

Partnership levels

  The CSE Partner Network Program offers four levels of partnerships:

  • Strategic
  • Platinum
  • Gold
  • Standard

Partnership is annual and starts at the beginning of the academic year (typically in September). At Strategic and Platinum levels, only one and two partners will be selected, respectively. Up to eight Gold partners will be selected and no limit is enforced at Standard level. Moreover, significant donation of equipment, facilities, and contributions to student programs, research, and scholarships are appreciated and will be considered as part of the annual contribution. Exclusive access will be given to partner sponsored physical spaces (e.g., labs and seminar rooms) during department events such as Career Fair, as well as each contribution of Rs. 1,000,000 will be recognized as equivalent to Gold partnership per year.
