The B-school entered into the collaboration with CGI with the vision of providing industry-level exposure to its students in the form of co-creating knowledge through case studies, research papers, white papers, and developing industry-level frameworks. It may also take the CGI's recommendations on course content.

The practical experience of working on industry-relevant projects at the intersection of the trending technologies and business management will prepare students for the digital industry."

We aim to inspire these students and provide insights and training on the IT industry, which will equip and enable them as they join the future digital workforce," said George Mattackal, President, Asia Pacific Global Delivery Centers of Excellence, CGI.
The CGI is certified as "Top Employer 2020" in eight countries including Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, India, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK. The CGI is also certified as "Top Employer Europe" for 2020. Over 14,000 professionals work out of nine offices in major cities such as Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune.
As a part of the alliance, the CGI will hold knowledge transfer workshops, organize special training and consultations on the programme, assist and mentor students. IIM Udaipur will also invite CGI to the final placement of the batch during the campus placement process.
