Overview
- The state formally launched Sricity International University at Sri City on Thursday, establishing an industry‑integrated work‑study model that links teaching with nearby factories and offices.
- SIU will use an annually reviewed curriculum co‑designed with employers so course content stays current with rapid advances in AI, manufacturing and digital tech.
- Students will follow a dual work‑study schedule that spends roughly one‑third of time in class and the rest in paid internships from year one, with a minimum stipend of ₹10,000 and an expected more than two years of industry experience by graduation.
- The university has opened admissions for 2026–27 undergraduate programmes in computer science and engineering, advanced manufacturing, finance and accounts, and digital media and communications.
- An on‑campus incubator called Station‑S is already supporting about 10 startups in partnership with Gnan Circle Ventures, and the model will draw on Sri City's more than 200 companies to provide placements, projects and potential employer hires.
