Acknowledgements NASSCOM would like to place on record it appreciation of its member companies— Alcatel-Lucent, Aricent, Huawei, and SASKEN —who have partnered with us in this initiative. We would also like to thank Engineering Proficiency Program (EPP) members, as mentioned in Annexure VIII, for supporting this initiative, by structuring and fine-tuning the materials provided. NASSCOM is highly appreciative of its member companies for believing in this initiative under the IT-ITeS Sector Skill Council, which aims to increase the industry readiness of the available student pool. This is achieved by developing and facilitating the implementation of programs of educational relevance with an aim to bridge the perceived industry – academia skill gaps and specific industry related competencies w.r.t. Engineering Services Sector. The Applied Communications program is aimed at empowering students with Communications industry related skills. NASSCOM recognizes that this is an initiative of great importance for all the stakeholders concerned: the industry, academia, and students. The tremendous work and ceaseless support offered by members of the working group / partnering companies in strategizing and designing the training material for Communications is commendable. NASSCOM would also like to thank the senior leadership of these partner companies for sharing their thoughts and invaluable inputs in the planning and execution of the Communications program.

Introduction to the Program

The Applied Communications program will increase the industry readiness of students who want to start a career in engineering/services companies contributing to Communications industry. This program has been developed by Industry experts: Alcatel-Lucent, Aricent, Huawei, and SASKEN — with a vision to enhance the student awareness about communications eco system.

The Outcomes Based Format (OBF) used to develop this program ensures that the curriculum and delivery methods are in-line with the outcomes expected. The program has two tracks—one that is concentrated on guiding the facilitator and the other for guiding the student.

Objective of the Program This program has been developed to enable students to appreciate the value, scope, opportunity, fun and excitement that Communications industry can offer. The program aims to improve student‘s understanding of the Communications industry, domain knowledge, standards and technologies. This program provides the requisite awareness and knowledge to understand key concepts and apply the key concepts to come up with solutions for common communication needs. Students will be able to connect the dots by co-relating the concepts they learnt during their Engineering studies to the communications products and solutions under use.

About the Program NASSCOM suggests Applied Communications program to be run as an add-on program in various educational institutions. This will enable students to equip themselves with the nuances of communication technologies and develop an appreciation for this field. This will provide the

students a higher level of employability and Industry will also benefit as a result of greater availability of engineers who have broad understanding and appreciation of the Communications landscape.

Eligibility This program is targeted towards students pursuing Graduate courses in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Telecommunications, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and Computer Science. This program can also be offered to PG students who aspire to join the Communications industry.

Program Duration

The program is expected to be conducted over 60 hours including a blend of guided or instructor-led learning, tutorials, case studies and practical exercises.

Employment Assessment

NASSCOM Assessment of Competence-Tech (NAC-Tech)

About NAC-Tech NAC-Tech has been conceived as an industry standard assessment and certification program to ensure the transformation of a "trainable" workforce into an "employable" workforce, hence creating a robust and continuous pipeline of talent for the IT/engineering industry. It is targeted at final year and pre-final year students, who will be seeking employment opportunities in the IT/engineering sector. Conceptualization of NAC-Tech In-depth meetings with the large recruiters in the industry were conducted to understand their recruitment practices, cause of attrition desired skills in a candidate, etc. Based on this, a job-skill matrix was developed which formed the basis for the design of this assessment program. Core and working committees from the industry were formed and constant interactions were made to make sure that the program was in line with the industry requirements. An evaluation committee was set up to finalize the vendors and decide on the approach to the pilot. Multi-tier evaluation of the vendors happened after the initial interaction. The identified vendors provided the content and technology to run the test. The companies that have helped develop the assessment program are—TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Accenture, Cognizant and HCL. Key Features of NAC-Tech Eligibility for NAC-Tech - Any candidate appearing in “final year” of BE, B. Tech, MCA, M. Sc-IT is eligible to take the test - Preferred scores of candidates: 60% aggregate in graduation, 12th standard & 10th standard Advantages of NAC-Tech for various stakeholders a. For Colleges/Universities

Enable the college to generate a quantifiable picture of the knowledge and skill level of its students.

Approach industry aggressively and in a more organized way for placement opportunities. b. For Students

Detailed feedback on their knowledge and skills help them decide career opportunities in different areas of IT.

NAC-Tech score card enables them to leap-frog to the next level of selection to multiple companies endorsing the program. c. For the Industry

Industry gets a pool of pre-assessed candidates mapped against competencies required for entry level professionals.

It helps them reach out to a wider geography and access talent from level 2 and 3 cities and institutions.
