University-industry linkage is a major collaborative effort on the part of academia and industry, sharing their knowledge, skills, and resources to accomplish mutually compatible goals of research, innovation, and commercialization.

As a SEAS student, working hard towards an engineering or computer science degree is both challenging and exciting. GIFT University compliments that study with real-world experience through training and event programs. Students graduate with more than technical knowledge – growing a network, supplemental skill set, and career.

• Providing hands–on training to interns.

In Pakistan, universities, and industries to a great extent, work in disconnection. We firmly accept that our institution and economy can possibly contend viably in the global market when our business training is adjusted well to the business needs. Collaborating with industries enables us to systematically include additional development and training for students. “By working on these projects, students develop critical skills including teamwork, creativity, communication, and critical thinking. The business meet-ups bridge this gap by interfacing our faculty and students with industry.

• Bi–Annual mega hackathon events open to the public.

Our students regularly visit the relevant industry during their course. The main reason behind this, it lets students know things practically through interaction, working methods, and employment practices. Moreover, it gives exposure from an academic point of view. The main aim of industrial visits is to provide exposure to students about a practical working environment.
