The academic institutions in Calicut which teach aeronautical or aerospace engineering have set up partnerships with aerospace companies. Through their collaborations National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut collaborates with research projects and internship programs with ISRO, HAL and DRDO. Through these partnerships students receive valuable practical hands-on training to work on actual industry projects that help them advance their skills particularly in propulsion systems as well as avionics platforms and structural engineering applications. The establishment of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with aerospace companies allows institutions to organize guest lectures as well as technical workshops and industry visits which help students understand the difference between classroom learning and industrial demands.
The aerospace industry collaborations enable students to conduct innovative research and acquire practical experience through which they enhance their career potential in aerospace. About aerospace progress and industry preparation for students both institutions conduct partnerships with government initiatives and incubation center programs. The collaboration between industry and academia remains essential for engineering education which readies students to work in aerospace engineering and associated sectors.
