Presidency University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Toyotsu Suzutoyo Special Steel Processing India Pvt. Ltd. (TSPI) on 12 October 2026.

The MoU establishes a structured training-to-employment pathway for students from the Mechanical Engineering and Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) programmes. As part of this collaboration, students will receive specialised, industry-oriented training on campus, delivered by delegates from Japan, followed by internship opportunities at TSPI’s plant in Tumakuru.

Upon successful completion of the training and internship, students may be considered for full-time employment (FTE), subject to the company’s requirements and selection criteria.

This initiative aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and industrial requirements by providing students with practical exposure, technical skill development and a potential pathway to employment.
