Emerging trends in technical and professional education call for value addition i.e. students must acquire something more than what is provided in the curriculum. Our college offers a wide variety of short-term certificate courses, which are conducted after class hours or during semester breaks. These courses are conducted by professionals and industry experts and help students stand apart from the rest in the job market by adding further value to their resume.
To bridge this gap between academic learning and industry requirements, the Institute have introduced Value Added Courses (VACs) as part of their curriculum. These courses are designed to enhance students’ knowledge, skills, and employability by offering specialized training in areas that go beyond the traditional academic syllabus. These courses are conducted by professionals and industry experts during teaching period or semester break.
