Students Activities
We believe strongly that mete classroom sessions are not enough for a fresh student to face the job market. It makes a. lot of sense to involve students into activities which would bring them closer to the reality. Activities are chosen with the basic idea to help students understand the working of theories and concepts in the real world.
Committees with high academic value were formed. The committee members were elected by the students, from among volunteers. The office bearers have no excuses to offer but to achieve excellence in their duties.

This is. the committee for mini projects. The role of this <;committee is to bring out the real talents of the students and in exploring the real life happenings. The class is divided into various groups.. group is allotted a topic for research. The duration of the project is generally 7-15 days, at the end of the project there is a presentation from each group on its findings. Thus in this way .the hidden potential of the student is exploited in all possible ways.
PRAC-study
This committee has taken up the responsibility of arranging the industrial visits. The primC!1ry:motive of this committee is to abstract what really is happening in the industry. This will supplement our theoretical knowledge.
