How does your college enhance the faculty’s skills and prepare them according to industry standards?

Although all the faculty members of our college are highly qualified and experienced, with changing time and technologies they also need to upgrade their knowledge. Hence our college regularly organizes Faculty Development Programs and also encourages Faculties to pursue value based courses based on their respective domains.

What do you see as your college’s greatest strengths and how it can be enhanced?

The main pillars of our college’s strength is our leadership and management people along with the good relationships staff members, teachers, students and management people have maintained with each other.
