Hyderabad, February 25, 2026 : In the recently announced Union Budget 2026-27, the government has indicated
shifting focus of workforce development through skilling, apprenticeships to
make training more industry-aligned, meaningful and accessible.

In this context, it is
interesting to note that Vishwa
Vishwani Institute of Systems and Management (VVISM), a NAAC-accredited higher
education institution affiliated with Osmania University, has announced the
launch of Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Programme (AEDP) in BS Computer
Science, as part of industry-academia partnership.

The four-year multidisciplinary
undergraduate programme is being initiated in partnership with TalentSprint,
part of Accenture, a leading global education company powered by AI.

Introduced under the UGC-approved AEDP
framework, the programme is designed to integrate academic learning with
structured industry apprenticeship, preparing students to graduate as
industry-ready tech professionals. The collaboration brings together VVISM’s
academic foundation and TalentSprint’s industry-aligned learning delivery to
address one of the most critical aspects in today’s engineering education, that
of employability challenge.

The Apprenticeship Embedded Degree
Programme (AEDP) represents a shift away from the traditional “learn first,
work later” approach. Under the UGC-AEDP model, up to 40% of curriculum
delivery is led by industry, allowing students to gain hands-on experience
through AI-driven applied labs, live projects, and continuous mentorship. The
programme ensures that students receive up to two years of hands-on real-world
exposure before graduation, transforming coders into creators, learners into
leaders, and graduates into industry-ready professionals. Backed by one year of
assured apprenticeship, AI-driven applied learning, and industry integration,
the programme equips students to thrive in a rapidly evolving, AI-led world.

Commenting on the launch, Dr. M. R. S.
Surya Narayana Reddy, Director – Admissions, VVISM, said, “AEDP is a
futuristic model for tech education through apprenticeship integrating
learning, AI-driven applied labs, and continuous mentorship. The BS in Computer
Science degree programme reflects institute’s commitment to reimagining
engineering education through industry integration and experiential learning.
Our approach is in sync with the government’s skilling, training, internship
and apprenticeship agenda. The collaboration with TalentSprint strengthens this
vision by aligning academic rigour with industry expectations, particularly in
emerging technology domains like AI and cloud.”

AEDP learners will be exposed to the
latest technologies through guided internships, live projects, and industry
mentorship. This strengthens employability and industry readiness prior to
graduation. The students who join the programme receive practical learning in
the form of bootcamps, programming challenges, hackathons, and industry-based
projects, with ongoing guidance provided by industry experts. Through these,
the learners graduate with practical skills, professional readiness, a
portfolio of projects and workplace experience.
