Axis Solutions Limited, a provider of industrial automation, instrumentation and control solutions, in
collaboration with Government Engineering College Gandhinagar (GEC Gandhinagar), has launched
an Industry Supported Lab in Instrumentation & Control (I&C) department. The initiative aims to
strengthen industry-academia collaboration and provide engineering students with practical
exposure to technologies and applications used in industrial environments.
The Lab, inaugurated on September 9, will serve as a platform for students and faculty to gain
hands-on experience with industrial technologies, while creating opportunities for knowledge
exchange between academia and industry. As part of the partnership, Axis Solutions will contribute
Industrial, Automation, Analytical and Instrumentation products and system solutions, while GEC
Gandhinagar will provide the required facility and infrastructure.
Commenting on the initiative, Dr Bijal Sanghvi, Managing Director, Axis Solutions Limited, said, “The
next generation of engineers must be equipped to solve real industrial challenges, not just
understand them in theory. This Centre of Excellence is our effort to bring industry closer to the
classroom, giving students access to the technologies, applications and practical knowledge that will
shape the future of instrumentation and automation. We see this as an investment in talent,
innovation and the long-term growth of the industry.”
The Centre will facilitate a range of industry-oriented programmes, including expert and SME
sessions, Faculty Development Programmes, student internships and placement initiatives, skill
development programmes, industrial study tours and short-term continuing education programmes.
Built around the vision of bridging industry and academia through real-world Instrumentation &
Control technology, the Lab will enable students to strengthen their understanding of
instrumentation, automation and control systems while gaining insights into their practical
application across industrial settings.
