Industry Institute Interaction Cell 

            Healthy interaction between Institutions and Industry is mandatory for growth of any institution. The blooming engineers need the exposure to Industry and understand the Corporate Culture for their Placements in different Multi-National Companies. It is evident that with the advent of globalization and opening up of Indian economy to outside world, competition among the Industries has also become stiff. Industries also need good students who are well aware of industry standards and capable of achieving so. Therefore, there is an urgent need of interaction of industry and academics where academic institutes can prepare students for jobs in multinational companies and industry. For this to become reality,  an Industry Institute Interaction Cell (IIIC) is established at Francis Xavier Engineering College. Dr.S.Balaji, Associate Professor is coordinating the Industry Institute Interaction Cell. 

The Institute has partnership with the following academies to provide industry oriented training to the students. The academies include:
