Advisory Board
An external panel of industry and academic advisors who guide VIP's curriculum, placement and outreach.
The Advisory Board complements the Board of Trustees by bringing current industry and academic perspectives into the institute's decisions on curriculum, lab investment, internship partnerships and placement strategy.
Members are drawn from the technology, manufacturing, electrical, civil and apparel sectors, plus senior academics from partner universities. They convene at least twice per academic year and review IQAC reports, AICTE submissions and proposed curriculum updates.
