Apple’s collaboration with SRM University enables students build iOS apps, be industry-ready
The HinduApple and SRM Institute of Science and Technology set off on a collaborative journey several months ago to enable a select pool of students on campus to code and build apps using the iPhone maker’s developer tools. The pilot cohort of 50 students were screened from an initial pool of 600 candidates, and trained to develop apps using iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS software. While the apps were in various stages of completion, the students’ product pitch revealed the impact of the roughly eight-month long learning process that included coding, design, entrepreneurship, and other industry-ready skills. Apart from helping students learn app development, this course provides internship opportunities at companies like Infosys, which also offers training support for this programme.
