According to an NDTV report, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has engaged 23,000 students and 912 faculty members from 50 educational institutions across 27 cities through its 'TCS Tech Days' programme. The primary objective of this initiative is to further strengthen the collaboration between industry and academia. Given the rapid changes occurring in the technology sector, the main goal of this programme is to provide students with the necessary practical skills.

Through this programme, students were given practical experience in emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), cyber security, and cloud computing. Industry professionals, technology experts, and business leaders from TCS were invited to educational campuses. This helped students understand how these technologies are used to solve real-world business challenges.

The TCS Tech Days programme included masterclasses, hackathons, practical challenges, interactions with industry leaders, and project presentations by students. Through these activities, a total of 92 masterclasses and 48 hackathons were organised, focusing primarily on AI and other emerging technologies.

During these activities, students worked under the guidance of TCS professionals and used AI solutions to address challenges in various sectors. These problems covered diverse fields such as manufacturing, customer experience, retail, and banking. This initiative gave candidates an opportunity to understand how technology can be used to improve business operations and public services, while also gaining experience in solving practical problems.

According to the company, more than 620 TCS leaders and technology experts participated in the first 50 editions of TCS Tech Days. These experts organised a total of 92 masterclasses and 42 hackathons to provide students with opportunities to learn about problems related to emerging technologies and develop solutions for them.
