In a major step towards "hyper-integrated" higher education, Bennett University has announced a partnership with KPMG in India. Starting from the academic year 2026-27, this collaboration will integrate industry frameworks and professional training into undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
As the job market increasingly demands “day-one ready” professionals, the initiative goes beyond traditional guest lectures. It focuses on embedding industry expertise into courses across business, technology, and public policy.
Multidisciplinary Programs Aligned with Industry Needs
The partnership targets high-growth sectors where skilled professionals are in demand. KPMG will contribute specialised modules across several flagship programs to connect technical knowledge with real-world application:
- Technology & Security: A specialized B.Tech CSE in Cyber Security (in further partnership with Macquarie University).
- The AI Revolution: A cutting-edge BBA in Gen AI for Business, alongside BBA and MBA tracks in Data Science and Analytics.
- Leadership & Governance: An MBA in Strategy, Management & Consulting, and a future-focused MA in Public Policy.
Beyond the Classroom: The Integration Model

Bennett University stated that such collaborations are becoming essential for building a future-ready academic environment, where industry integration plays a central role in learning outcomes.
The "Day-Zero" Professional
For students, the main benefit is employability. By learning under the guidance of a “Big Four” firm like KPMG in India, graduates gain more than a degree; they develop a professional approach, industry understanding, and strong problem-solving skills. Masterclasses and practitioner-led sessions help connect academic learning with real corporate environments.
With this initiative, Bennett University highlights a shift in higher education. The approach shows that the future of learning is collaborative, hybrid, and closely aligned with the needs of the global workforce.
