AAA Guvi, a start-up incubated by the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT M), is on a mission to train over 10 million programmes in the coming months.
The start-up, which trains students in coding practice and assessment, has already reached five lakh engineering students through its e-learning platform, using regional languages. It reaches out to students in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities in the country. It offers tech skills that are in demand in the industry in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, Bengali and English.
On Feb. 16, Guvi will sign an agreement with the Union Minister for Education Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank to be integrated into the National Education Alliance for Technology, (NEAT), a public-private partnership model between the Central government and edu-tech companies being implemented by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

Now more than ever, every technical programme student needs to be well skilled. The job market is flooded with resumes, but only the ones with the right skills can get into the companies of their choice.
India has more than 6000 engineering colleges but the quality and standard of the majority of these institutions continue to remain far from being satisfactory. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) notified a revised model curriculum for all engineering courses two years ago, but a large number of colleges continue to have outdated teaching methods and have no practical industry exposure to equip their students with the required skills. As a result, students face difficulty in getting a good job.
