Institute Incubation Cell (IIC)

Some students have inherent quality for entrepreneurship and they want to be a job giver rather than job seeker. To tap this quality IIC has been set up in our college by formulating policy as per the guidelines of NISP-2019, issued by MHRD (now MoE). The Cell motivates the students for entrepreneurships, start-ups and innovations. Professionals from Industry, Academia and Alumni are the members of this Cell. Members from Industry and Academia are invited to interact with the students. Workshops, mentoring and talks by industry experts are held regularly. Based on the aptitude of the students, they are handpicked and imparted special and other assistance. Response received from the students in this regard is very encouraging. So far few students opted for start-ups through our help and mentoring.

Industry Institute Partnership Cell (IIPC)

Aim of this Cell is to increase the industry reach of our college. The Cell consists of all HODs and members from Industry and Academia. Joint ventures of Industry – Academia Collaborations are looked after by this Cell. Regularly industry interactions are held through seminars / webinars etc. Through these events students come to know what are the industry expectations from them. Industry inputs are also taken for preparing syllabi.
