Korean Aptech graduates receive degrees

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, JULY 27. At a special graduation ceremony today, 18 Korean students who completed their studies at Aptech here, received their degrees from Mr. Vivek Kulkarni, State Secretary for Information Technology.

This is the second batch to complete the course, and a part of the ongoing partnership between Aptech Ltd., and Sungkonghoe University in Korea, to impart IT training for students in India. The three-year course is conducted for two years in Korea, and the students study in India in the final year.

Mr. V.Balasubramanian, Senior Vice-President, Aptech ltd., and Head, International Division, said the students had worked on live projects in Bangalore, in companies such as limitless, dotcom Software, Medisoft 3DNetworks and so on.

"India has finally arrived as a hub of IT, and today our software and IT knowledge are being accepted in more than 43 countries," he said adding that students from several countries were now looking at IT education in India as a possibility. IT education was likely to emerge as a major export from India soon, he said.

The students graduating today were trained in subjects such as multi media, software development, and E-commerce. This batch also completed the British Council BEC level 1 for which they will receive certificates from Cambridge University.

Mr. Kulkarni, who commended the students on their achievement, said the fourth IT.com Conference, scheduled from November 1 to 5, would be an opportunity for Korean hardware to meet Indian software. A new addition to the conference this time would be the Official Software engineering process group (SEPG) theme, which would be "enriching" to students and entrepreneurs alike.
