Speaking on the occasion, Dr. P. Shyama Raju, Chancellor, REVA University, said, “India today is standing at the threshold of a major technological and industrial transformation. While industries such as semiconductors, aerospace, electric mobility, automation, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing are expanding rapidly, there continues to be a significant talent deficit in these sectors. At REVA University, we see this not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to prepare the next generation of future-ready professionals.”
Dr. M. Dhanamjaya, Registrar, REVA University, spoke about the University’s strong academic ecosystem and well-equipped hostel facilities that offer students a safe, comfortable, and “home away from home” environment.
Dr. Shubha A, Dean, REVA Business School and Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies highlighted REVA University’s innovative, industry-relevant, and future-focused curriculum. She said the University follows a multidisciplinary approach across 21 schools with in-house curriculum designed through strong academic and industry inputs.

The University also highlighted future-focused programmes in Mechatronics Engineering and Aerospace Engineering with practical exposure in AI, robotics, UAVs, automation, avionics, intelligent mobility, and aerospace technologies.

The University also showcased its industry-oriented B.Com in Corporate Finance and Analytics integrated with US-CMA, designed to equip students with expertise in finance, analytics, strategic decision-making, and global career readiness.
