The partner agency would be expected to conduct online and offline programmes and assess the performance of students, besides conducting training of world class repute.

The GKC would finalise the curriculum and duration of each level of the programme and decide the fee for each programme.

The selected partner would be required to pay a registration fee of Rs 10 lakh for setting up a centre to the corporation.

As per the terms of the tender, only agencies with experience and recognition in establishing centres and conducting programmes would be entitled to submit the bid.

The corporation is aiming to develop programmes relevant to industrial needs and creating highly skilled workers and managers for the socio-economic development of the society.
