Program Benefits

The program delivers multi-layered benefits across the entire academic and industry ecosystem. For industry, it creates a reliable pipeline ofengineers who are already trained on real-world QNX platforms, reducing onboarding time and accelerating project readiness. The outcomes ensurethat learning is not just theoretical, but Applied, Employable, and Future-ready.

Academia

Industry Alignment: Institutions can align with Industry needs by integrating QNX course into their curriculum.
Software and Tools: QNX will provide the required software and tools to establish a QNX Centre of Excellence for training and research
(non-commercial use).
Faculty Training & Certification: Selected faculty members will undergo specialized training and certification, thereby enhancing institutional expertise to deliver advanced training and research in Software-Defined Embedded Systems (SDES).
Enhanced Student Outcomes: Students trained under this program will be equipped to meet the growing demand for Embedded Software Developers.
Strategic Support: Each institutional cluster will be assigned a dedicated Program Manager to extend strategic support to partner institutions.

Industry

Access to Talent Pool: Industries get access to the Pan-India Pool of engineers from top institutions already trained in QNX RTOS, embedded systems, automotive software, and safety-critical domains.
Faster Project Onboarding: Reduces recruitment and onboarding time since candidates are "job-ready" with practical exposure to QNX SDP 8.0 tools and development practices.
Accelerated R&D and Product Development: With engineers trained on QNX, industries in automotive, industrial automation, robotics, and medical device scan accelerate their projects.

Students

Hands-on Learning: Benefits of participating including hands-on QNX training, enhanced employability, certifications.
Access to License: Students receive non-commercial licenses to QNX SDP 8.0, enabling them to learn and experiment with the same tools used by industry professionals.
Broader Career Opportunities: Increase career chances in the industries that use QNX (Automotive, Robotics, Healthcare, Industrial Automation, and Medical). Also, Career paths get enabled (e.g., Embedded Developer, Automotive Software Engineer).
Access to Industry Mentors & Global Developer Community: Hackathons, Design Contests, networking with industry mentors, and access to QNX Global Community at GitHub.
