The partnership represents a significant step towards bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world enterprise requirements, with a clear focus on skill development, global certifications, and employability.
A Strategic Academic - Industry Partnership
The collaboration between Parul University and ServiceNow goes beyond conventional academic engagement. It is an outcome-driven initiative aimed at equipping students with in-demand enterprise technology skills through structured, platform-based training and globally recognised certifications. By integrating industry-aligned learning pathways, the program ensures that students are prepared for professional roles in large-scale, real-world technology environments.

Student Participation and Program Reach
The first phase of the collaboration includes 100 meritorious students from the B.Tech. in Computer Science & BE in Information Technology (2027 batch). Participation is selective and merit-based, with students shortlisted based on academic performance, technical aptitude, and readiness for global certification pathways.
Based on performance and outcomes, the program is designed for phased expansion to include additional students, batches, and allied computing disciplines, reinforcing its long-term and scalable nature.

The curriculum is mapped directly to ServiceNow job roles, ensuring relevance, applicability, and alignment with industry expectations.
Global Certifications at No Cost to Students
A key highlight of the collaboration is access to official ServiceNow global certifications, fully funded by ServiceNow for selected students.
Certifications offered include:
- Certified System Administrator (CSA)

Each certification carries a market value of approximately INR 60,000 per student, amounting to a total investment of nearly INR 60 lakhs for Parul University students.

Trained faculty mentors support students throughout their learning and certification journeys and act as institutional points of contact, ensuring continuity and sustainability of the collaboration beyond a single cohort.
Hands-On Learning and Platform Access
Students receive comprehensive access to the ServiceNow learning ecosystem, including official training resources, online labs, sandboxes, and simulation environments. The hands-on, application-oriented approach ensures students gain practical exposure to enterprise workflows and real-world problem-solving scenarios.
