BITS Pilani
Patni has tied up with the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani for conducting a two-year off-campus Master of Science collaborative degree programme in Software Engineering. This provides an opportunity for employees to enhance their academic qualifications and synergize theory and practice on a sustained basis. It also allows employees to be multi-skilled with exposure to upcoming technology areas. This initiative has enabled many Patni employees to participate in a better way in organizational initiatives and provide meaningful insights.
