Bridging academia and industry
The Institute to Industry (I2I) Forum is IEEE CAS Bangalore Chapter’s flagship student-facing initiative — designed to give engineering students direct access to industry insight, mentorship, and hands-on career guidance.
I2I‑5.1 is hosted by the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management, Mangaluru, in association with the IEEE Bangalore Section and IEEE Mangalore Sub Section. The forum runs as a hybrid event — an in-person offline session on campus, followed by a series of virtual technical sessions.
Whether you’re preparing for interviews, exploring core electronics career paths, or looking to connect with industry mentors, I2I‑5.1 is built to help you take the next step.
