Company have always owned this as their primary responsibility. In 1995, they started a program for science graduates that would enable them to study for a post-graduate degree in engineering and technology. Called the Wipro Academy of Software Excellence (WASE) program, it helps Science graduates to study for a Masters degree in Software Engineering (M.Tech). Run in partnership with the Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS), Pilani, India, this unique program blends rigorous academic exposure with practical professional learning at the workplace, Company run a similar program called WISTA in collaboration with Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) for science graduates without a mathematics background. Since its inception in 1995, Wipro has supported and enabled more than 28,000 students to graduate from the WASE and WISTA programs with an MS degree in Software Engineering. During 2017-18, the total number of new entrants into the two programs was 3,274 while the aggregate strength across four years was 13,636.
