    From the past understandings and experiences, many corporations found it difficult to retain people with the accurate skill set, this encouraged them to look for joint ventures with the universities. To Bridge this Gap, we made it feasible the correlation between industry and academia through the implementation of Centre of Industry and Market Studies (CIMS). It is one of our efforts to assemble the industry's changing demands. It will get both students and faculty members involved. In this project CIMS, we will focus on creating industry based training materials and create a center of attention for both students and professionals to take part in the training on their timetable and schedule. For conducting the initial research, we have adopted both the qualitative (in the form of unstructured interviews). This center will be inaugurated at University of Management and Technology. The training can be updated and further added as the most up-to-date technologies trends. (CIMS) aims at constructing universities and industry work collectively and build simple trust through long-term bond such as task- based collaboration. This center provides trainings, certifications, diplomas and sectoral reports for the industries. As the center will grow it will also hold brand awards on the basis of company performances assessed through CIMS framework.
