Now a days lot of focus is on research but when our engineering students enter into industry, They see a huge demand of industrial certification ( e.g. for computer Engineers CCNA, CCNP. SCJP, ITIL, TOGUF, A+ etc)
while majority of faculty in the universities are not equipped with up to date certifications.
what should be the best fit in this situation?
a blended version or some faculty members should be there with up to date industrial certification?
