DCE welcomes all industry partners who seek practicable and pragmatic solutions, and who share and celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit that brings new ideas to life. Together, DCE and industry can make great progress in creating new knowledge, in shaping new leaders and in making important gains against the challenges of our generation. The institutions are strong in academic and R&D. Good academic knowledge and skills are given to the students but they are not good in skills what the industry needs currently. The industry is up to date in the practical world. The industry- institute collaboration will help in exchanging the academic knowledge of faculty and the practical experience of industry. The academic institution needs skill development and the industry needs academic knowledge. 

Hence we are interested in developing good relationship with the industry for exchanging knowledge and practical experience. 

By this industry- institute collaboration, academic staff will visit the industry and learn the current skills used by the industry. This experience gained by the faculty will be transmitted to the students. Also, the students will be trained by the experts in the industry. The students will be sent for internship to the companies so that they can gain industry exposure. The industry people will be invited to give guest lectures periodically. This exchange will ultimately help in developing the country both academically and industrially.
