SPPU Signs MoU with ICAI to Bridge Gap between Theory, Practical Knowledge

Not knowing how to write a demand draft or what an expense statement audit entails are a few of the real-world problems which commerce graduates have to face, owing to the gap between theory lessons and practical applications.
Finding a way to bridge the same, the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to impart job skills to their students.
SPPU Vice Chancellor Dr Nitin Karmalkar said that this is also another way to counter the coming placement season, which is expected to be slower this year.
Besides providing students with internship opportunities, the MoU aims at providing skill-oriented education to students, conducting faculty development programs for staff and enhancing skill sets of students through webinars and seminars.
