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."

India well-equipped to tackle evolving online harms, cybercrimes: Centre tells Parliament
NEW DELHI: India's cyber legal framework, backed by the IT Act, BNS, and institutions like GAC, CERT-In, and I4C, is well-equipped to tackle evolving online harms and cybercrimes, said Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Jitin Prasada in Rajya Sabha. MoS Prasada said on Friday that the government is conscious of the threats posed by deepfakes powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), including synthetic audio, video and text. Such content can seriously impact a person's dignity, reputation, and right to privacy. It also raises concerns about platform accountability, he added, according to the Ministry of Electronics & IT. The MoS informed that to combat the rising threat of deepfakes and ensure an open, safe, and accountable cyberspace, the Government of India has established a comprehensive legal and institutional framework. Several existing laws address various aspects of AI-generated harms, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act), which criminalises identity theft, impersonation, privacy violations, and the circulation of obscene content. It also empowers authorities to issue blocking orders (Section 69A) and takedown notices (Section 79) to intermediaries. Complementing this are the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, updated in 2022 and 2023, which mandate digital platforms to exercise due diligence, prevent the hosting of unlawful content, and ensure accountability. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) adds another layer by requiring data fiduciaries, including AI firms, to process personal data lawfully and with user consent. Deepfakes using personal data without consent can be penalised under this Act. Further, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) addresses misinformation and organised cybercrimes through Sections 353 and 111. The Government has also issued advisories (in December 2023 and March 2024) directing intermediaries to remove impersonation and deepfake content, inform users about misleading content, and ensure timely compliance with the Grievance Appellate Committee (GAC) orders. Intermediaries are also advised to label AI-generated content when outputs are potentially unreliable. India's broader cyber-ecosystem includes platforms like the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) and its SAHYOG Portal, which enable coordinated removal of unlawful content. Citizens can report incidents through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal or by calling the helpline 1930. Additionally, CERT-In provides guidance on emerging AI threats, including deepfakes, and conducts public awareness campaigns through initiatives such as Cyber Jagrookta Diwas, National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and Safer Internet Day.
