Telangana: Woxsen University, IBM India sign MoU across business & technology disciplines
The five-year collaboration will enhance curriculum, foster hands-on industry training, and offer globally recognized IBM certifications, Hyderabad based University said in a release here on Thursday.
The collaboration spans Woxsen's School of Business and School of Technology, directly benefiting students enrolled in MBA (Business Analytics) and BBA (Data Science & Artificial Intelligence), while extending its impact to technology students across the university. Students from both schools will gain exposure to IBM's enterprise tools used by Fortune 500 companies.
Dr Raul Villamarin Rodriguez, Vice President of Woxsen University, said, 'Our partnership with IBM is not an add-on, it is a structural shift in how we envision higher education. By embedding enterprise-grade tools and certifications into the DNA of our curriculum, we are placing Woxsen students on the same technological footing as professionals in Fortune 500 companies. This alliance breaks down the traditional silos between business and technology education, enabling a business analyst to speak the language of AI and a data scientist to understand market strategy. This collaboration ensures our graduates are ready from day one and are equipped to lead with technological fluency, strategic sharpness and global agility.'
A key highlight of the collaboration is access to IBM's full technology ecosystem, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and advanced analytics, which are complemented by globally recognized certifications.
Subject matter experts from IBM will co-deliver modules with Woxsen faculty, incorporating real-world business scenarios and professional-grade platforms into academic instruction.
The partnership will also provide students with opportunities for internships and placements through IBM's extensive global network, with many students expected to secure pre-placement offers through project-based learning and mentorship during their academic journey.
Dr Hemachandran, Vice Dean of School of Business at Woxsen University, noted, 'The initiative addresses a crucial gap in higher education by bridging academic learning with evolving industry requirements. With IBM's active role in curriculum design and delivery, Woxsen students will gain firsthand exposure to industry tools, frameworks, and methodologies, ensuring job readiness from the day they graduate."

AI-driven innovations to soon streamline traffic management system in Vizag
VISAKHAPATNAM The city may soon see a major transformation of its traffic management system with Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven innovations aimed at easing congestion and improving road safety. The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) has initiated steps to implement AI-powered traffic management solutions. Several IT firms including Metafusion (Noida), NEC, Data Corp (Bengaluru), CMS Computers (Mumbai), and Brihaspati Technologies (Hyderabad) have already conducted pilot projects in the city. The firms presented proposals to MP M. Sribharat, District Collector M. Harendhira Prasad, City Police Commissioner Shankhabratha Bagchi, and GVMC Commissioner Ketan Garg during a meeting held on July 4. Speaking about the initiative, GVMC Commissioner Ketan Garg emphasised the need for advanced systems to effectively regulate growing traffic demands. 'AI-based traffic management systems are essential to streamline traffic flow and enhance enforcement,' he said. The proposed system will automatically detect and penalise traffic violations such as over-speeding, riding without helmets, jumping red lights, illegal parking, and wrong-side driving. Violators will be issued challans in real time through automated monitoring, he said. 'Facial recognition technology is also expected to be introduced. This will enable law enforcement to identify individuals with criminal records or suspicious behaviour and alert relevant police stations through the Command and Control Centre,' he added. Another major component of the plan is the synchronisation of traffic signals at key junctions. The upgraded signal system will adapt dynamically to traffic volumes, reducing wait times and minimising congestion during peak hours. With rapid development across the city, Visakhapatnam has seen a sharp increase in vehicular population. According to traffic police records, the city now has over 15 lakh vehicles, nearly 75% of which are two-wheelers and that number continues to grow by around 40,000 vehicles annually.

BA (Hons) Economics vs BCom (Hons): Which degree will offer a gateway to business & policy?
('The Right Choice' is a series by The Indian Express that addresses common questions, misconceptions, and doubts surrounding undergraduate admissions. You can read the stories here.) — Prof (Dr) Sunil Kumar Choosing between a BA (Hons) in Economics and a BCom (Hons) is a pivotal decision for students aspiring to pursue careers in business, economics, or public policy. Although both programs offer academic strengths, they differ significantly in their focus, skill sets, and future prospects. CUET UG Result 2025 Live: Updates on NTA scorecard, result PDF download link The BA (Hons) Economics program is designed for students who prefer a theoretical approach to studying analytical thinking, mathematical modeling, and economic systems. This degree encompasses a wide range of topics, including microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, development economics, public policy, and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in policy framing. It is an excellent option for students interested in data-driven decision-making, economic research, or careers in policy-oriented organisations, think tanks, and international institutions. Graduates are well-prepared to secure professional employment in the government sector, central banks, consulting companies, and international financial organizations. Furthermore, the economics degree provides a solid foundation for pursuing MA Economics, MBA, or public policy programs at esteemed international universities. In contrast, the BCom (Hons) programme is an industry-focused course that provides practical knowledge in accounting, finance, marketing, taxation, and corporation law. It prepares students for corporate careers in finance, auditing, banking, and management. The curriculum is vocationally oriented, addressing the immediate demands of the industry and working life. This degree is ideal for students preparing for professional courses such as CA, CMA, CFA, and is highly valued in the commerce and corporate sector job market. When deciding between these two programmes, students should consider their career goals. The BA Economics is more suited to careers in economic consultancy, the civil service, and policy-making, particularly for those interested in shaping macro-economic policy or development policy. On the other hand, BCom (Hons) provides a direct route to business operations, corporate finance, and entrepreneurship, making it suitable for students who aspire to manage or own businesses. Students interested in working at the interface of economic policy, development, and global strategy, the BA (Hons) Economics may have an edge. Conversely, for those interested in careers in corporate, accounting, and business leadership, BCom (Hons) is the better gateway. Both degrees are valuable, and the better choice depends on the individual's career goals and interests in abstract economic analysis versus practical business applications.
