Virtual University established an in-house software house with the intention to Bridge Industry-Academia Gap by equipping students with state-of-the-art technology and engaging them to work toward Minimal Viable Product (MVP) under the supervision of Professionals. Students who enrolled in Final Year Project have the opportunity to join Virtual University Software House (VUSWH), where they got vigorous training through Workshops on in-demand Programming Languages and Software Engineering (Requirement Engineering, Software Design and Architecture) related areas. Standard Project Management Practices including Sprint and Retrospective sessions, Multiple reviews of SRS, Design Artifacts and Code; are followed to monitor student’s work on regular basis and appropriate feedback is given accordingly.

This platform helps students’ transition from Academic to Professional life in smooth way. After completion of Final Year Projects (internship) students are ready for Jobs but can also pursue career towards Entrepreneurship.
