About Us
TGMC promotes students from engineering colleges from across India in their endeavor to develop
solutions for real-time problems and scenarios using IBM open source software. It is aimed
to encourage students who aspire to make key contributions to develop applications on
cutting-edge IBM technologies while providing them with an opportunity to improve their
software-writing skills.
Launched in 2004, TGMC is an innovative program that addresses the need to better
educate millions of students for a more competitive information technology (IT) workforce
by partnering with colleges and universities.
Every year, the growth and reach of TGMC has increased, seeing a marked increase in
the number of students who are keen to participate in such an endeavor. In fact, TGMC is
now listed in the Limca Book of Records as the largest technological contest of its kind 2
years running – testament to the fact that there is a need in today’s competitive world for
such an initiative that supports, guides, and challenges students to higher goals.
Universities provide excellent learning environments, but find it difficult to teach students about an IT
transformation in progress unless those driving the transformation – IT companies at the helm of
transformation – provide real-time input and support. TGMC is an out reach of the IBM Academic
Initiative, a global program that facilitates the collaboration between IBM and educators to teach students
the IT skills they need to be competitive and keep pace with changes in the workplace.
