Our country is also experiencing the same with the job market feeling most of the heat. Good jobs are few and far between. In spite of such a scenario, the students of the current academic year of Adamas University have conquered all odds. I am proud to announce that more than 100 students of our University have received lucrative offers from various companies. Let me emphasize that these students still have 6 more months to go, before they complete their degree. This is a fantastic achievement.”

For a higher education institute, the main challenge is to design an education system where the students experience life’s realities and are able to make some sense of what they are about to face in the real world. A system where the student is able to pursue some form of real work and is able to learn simultaneously, would exponentially build his skills and enhance his market value. Adamas University aspires to impart finest quality education to young minds with an already established high quality research facility and a powerful team of teachers. The University has many international initiatives collaborating with the industries and educational institutes to facilitate projects, research and student exchange programs. This enhances not only the academic knowledge of the students, but also provides them with valuable insights about what the industry wants, and thus develop the cutting edge not only to be successful in interviews, but also when they are in employment.
