i-merit, the flagship program of Scholars Merit Online Pvt. Ltd., has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University (DBUU) to introduce a variety of skill development programs under the i-merit banner. These programs, spanning 120 hours, 12 weeks, and 25 weeks, are designed to enhance students’ employability by equipping them with industry-relevant skills through the i-merit Accelerate and Elevate initiatives.
The i-merit Nova courses, an integral part of this collaboration, aim to bridge the skill gap by providing hands-on training, real-world industry exposure, and essential professional skills. DBUU students will gain access to structured learning modules that align with current job market demands, ensuring they are well-prepared for future career opportunities.
Speaking about the partnership, Sumit Shukla, CEO of Scholars Merit, stated,
“Employability is one of the biggest challenges that graduates are facing in India. Our collaboration with DBUU aligns with our vision to empower students with industry-specific skills that make them job-ready. Through the i-merit Nova courses, we are committed to providing structured, hands-on learning that enhances both technical knowledge and workplace competencies.”
Dr. R. K. Tripathi, Registrar, Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University, emphasized,
“At DBUU, we prioritize not only academic excellence but also the holistic development of our students. This partnership with i-merit allows us to further strengthen our commitment to skill-based education. By integrating these programs into our curriculum, we are ensuring that our students receive the practical training needed to excel in the workforce.”
