Concept of Collaborative Industry Based (CIB) Education
Collaborative Industry Based Education is most contemporary noble concept derived by National Centre for Internship & Studies (NCIS), to integrate the component of industry in education. CIB Education is just not a formality of giving industry exposure to students; rather it is a fullfledged industry experience to students with their studies. CIB education enables students to obtain the basic and all functional knowledge of the industry in which they wished to work.
Study incapable of providing suitable employment and knowledge is fruitless. The present Indian educational system rarely contains industry component in it like in other developed countries. The purposive of every education is to obtain factual knowledge and employment. In this competitive environment the difference between education and industry is widening day-by-day. This leads difficulty in adjustment of young alumnus in industry. Sometime it took lot of time even many years to transform them in thorough professionals. In the absence of proper guidance many students distract from the correct way to proceed with their career, and choose different profession from their qualification, and this yields wastage of significant number of years of their life. This can be termed as education to profession dropout.
For an example as we are struggling with the deficiency of engineering professionals despite of having thousands of engineering colleges in the country. Why? Due to directionless efforts of present education system most of the young engineering alumnus shifts themselves to some other industry, unwillingly. As earlier explained this phenomenon is education to profession dropout. The reasons may be many, like lack of direction for a proper start, dissatisfaction from industry, understanding of work etc. Only 5% of the engineers leave the field because of genuine grounds. Remaining 95% leaves the filed because of the reasons, like they do not know how to start or they do not know how to adjust in industry or they do not have basic understanding to work in industry. Every year atleast 50% of the engineering graduates leave the filed, i.e. the education to profession dropout of engineering filed is more then 50%. This loss is in addition to the manual hrs wasted to educate them for their precious 4 to 6 years. Some of them choose less skilled jobs. This process can also be observed in other professions as well, where the industry interaction is negligible.
On contrary in filed of Medicines this education to profession dropout ratio is not more then 5%. Why? Yes, just because of the real time training with studies. All medical students are required to attend practicals, compulsory internship within their study curriculum. This industry exposure is quite similar to the futuristic circumstances which they require to face, when they will work as an independent professional. Also, they got ample opportunities to work under highly specialized senior professionals. The result itself shows the success story of this education model.
Conclusively, we are 95% sure that the medical graduate passing out will work as a medical professional, in compare to 50% surety of an engineering graduate to become an engineering professional.
CIB education is an effort to make all educational models of country at par with the model which is being implemented in the field of medicine. This education will be delivered to students with real industry working experience. This serve dual purpose; they will obtain precious work experience in addition to the academic knowledge.
Conclusively, CIB education is only tool which can cater the demand of modern time.
