EFY Tech Center Announces Tie-up with Agilent Technologies
Alliance to enable students to get first-hand exposure to professional-grade equipment from leading T&M player

New Delhi, Delhi, India, Thursday, February 17, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- EFY Tech Center, the training arm of EFY Enterprises, announced today a tie-up with Agilent Technologies India Pvt Ltd. The tie-up will empower students by giving them industry-relevant exposure to professional-grade equipments from one of the leading T&M players in the industry.

Since its inception in 2007, EFY Tech Center has been imparting practical, short-term certificate courses to students from engineering colleges and professional engineers from organisations like ESTC and NTPC. With its hands-on training courses - such as Basics of Electronics, Robotics, Microcontrollers and PCB design - EFY Tech Center fills the gap between industry and the class room. It prepares students to be industry-ready by exposing them to state-of-the-art professional-grade equipment offered by Agilent, which is deployed across various verticals.

With the largest install-base in India (in its category) of test and measurement equipment, Agilent was the natural choice for EFY Tech Center to source its equipment from this industry giant. Agilent's focus on measurements helps scientists, researchers and engineering students to address their toughest challenge with precision and confidence.

"We are happy to have our labs equipped with Agilent's advanced test instruments. This will not only enhance our labs but also reinforce engineers' knowledge base by exposing them to the broadest range of innovative and latest measurement solutions in the industry," says Ramesh Chopra, managing director, EFY Enterprises Pvt Ltd.

"We are happy to help EFY Tech Center who has taken the initiative to add practical level knowledge to their existing courses. We believe this will help lot of students who understand theory but do not have hands-on experience in using equipments for various measurements. This should equip lot of students in securing jobs both in R&D and manufacturing industry", says V.V.Pathy, Business Development Manager - Education, Agilent Technologies India Pvt Ltd.

"We have been associated with EFY for a long time and feel this would pave the way for a long term relationship between EFY and Agilent"says Gautam Awasthi, GM Marketing - EMG, Agilent Technologies India Pvt Ltd.
