Competency and skill development

Advances in Information Technology have introduced fundamental changes in business structures and work processes. These changes demand for the introduction of new educational approaches in teaching learning process. To create outstanding industrial engineers, it is essential to impart qualitative, innovative, creative, value driven training and development programmes/workshops/seminars. That is the reason,why competency based training and development is a must to add up to a Holistic Learning/Teaching Approach. To enhance students’ competency level, the institute has signed MoUs (Memorandum of Understanding) with various organizations in the engineering and technology sectors. Technical experts of those organizations conducted seminars to students on recent technologies at our college campus. In addition Industrial visits are also organized. These programmes help the students to improve their scientific knowledge, peer learning and ethical values.
