- Indian industry needs a catchment of high quality, employable engineering graduates having industrial aptitude and proficiency, to recruit
- Hiring technical resources across geographies involves huge time, cost and effort
- Talent from tier II and III cities is not easily accessible by most of the corporates & SMEs
- Industries are not always equipped with proper evaluation team for effective hiring

Testimonial
It’s always a joy to get appreciations on the work we do
CII has been conducting various initiatives in creating platforms for Academia and Industry to interact and closely working with AICTE along with premier academic Institutions to facilitate industry – institute collaborations.
iPATE by CII is a great revolutionary step for all engineering graduates in the country, as it will give them a clear idea about the skill set needed for being useful to the industry. It will also help the industry in selecting suitable engineers prima-facie equipped with necessary cognitive, technical and professional abilities essential for industrial environment.
I appreciate and applause CII to conduct iPATE for driving a new facet in Industry 4.0 era. Indeed it's need of the moment. We would be encouraging all our Final year students to take iPATE, that will give each one of them to test waters of the industry world and rise to the expectations of the industry. It will also open doors for self-review to introspect our curriculum and prepare our graduates for meeting challenges of the future.
I must congratulate you on this great initiative. Looking forward to see the positive outcomes from this. And would love to work on integrating this with our National Digital Library of India to reach wider masses.
iPATE is an excellent initiative by CII to map and assess the availability of technical talent across PAN India. It is a great tool for recruitment in various technical disciplines that will greatly benefit the Indian Industry.
Ambuja Neotia is looking forward to hire iPATE certified quality engineers into different business verticals in the coming days.
