People with the right skills and competencies form the bedrock of IT services organizations. The challenge for the Indian IT industry has always been to respond fast enough to the ever rapidly changing dynamics of the industry. The present times are no different, in fact even more so with the challenge of a bewilderingly fast changing landscape of technology which is often summarized as Industry 4.0. 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.
