At DSTI School of Engineering, our mission has always been to bridge the gap between academic excellence and industry-driven innovation. This month, our CEO and Dean, Sébastien Corniglion, embarked on a high-impact tour across India to solidify international partnerships and create direct pathways for the next generation of data scientists and engineers.
From signing historic agreements to engaging with hundreds of aspiring students, the tour underscored a booming demand for specialised AI and Data Science education within the Indo-French corridor.
A central highlight of the tour was the formalisation of collaborations with esteemed Indian institutions. We are delighted to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the New Prince Shri Bhavani College of Engineering and Technology.
This partnership focuses on:
Global Access: Creating direct pathways for Indian engineering students to gain international exposure.
Academic Alignment: Synchronising curricula to ensure students are “future-ready” for the global tech market.
Collaborative Innovation: Fostering a shared vision for research in Data Science and Applied AI.
Beyond institutional agreements, the tour was about the people—the students. Working alongside our dedicated local partners, we met with ambitious individuals in tech hubs like Bengaluru to demystify the process of studying in France.
With France committing €109 billion towards AI investment, there has never been a better time for Indian students to choose specialised French programmes. Our sessions focused on:
Applied Learning: Moving beyond theory to work with real datasets and industry projects.
Industry Connection: Leveraging Paris and Sophia-Antipolis as thriving hubs for AI startups and research.
Career Outcomes: Navigating the transition from the classroom to the international tech workforce.
This tour was more than a series of meetings; it was a testament to a shared vision. Whether standing before a packed auditorium or meeting dedicated consultancy teams, the energy was clear: The future of engineering is global.
The passion and professionalism encountered on the ground reinforce our commitment to building bridges between institutions, ideas, and opportunities across borders.
Awarded 1st place in the IEEE Big Data Cup 2025, Jannic Alexander Cutura’s research investigates how AI can be used to predict future mental health risk from social media activity. By combining the semantic power of large language models with temporal modelling, this work demonstrates how practical, state-of-the-art methods can
