Revealing future plans, Shrirang Bapat, VP, Products Business Group, Amdocs India, said, "As the focus of the world is on India and China, we have started the project in India and will soon replicate it worldwide."
Anshoo Gaur, Head of Amdocs (India) told MiD DAY, "The practical side is largely missing in engineering education. So, the emphasis is on the industry-academia links.
Amdocs has also set up links with Oxford University and Technion in Israel and have acquired a company called Changing The Worlds, which has a joint venture of University of Dublin."
