Centre of Excellence

About

The Centre of Excellence (CoE) is a body that provides value-added courses with industry certifications and skill training for a specific field for students.

The literal meaning of a Centre of Excellence is – ‘A place where the high standards are maintained.

All our centres of excellence collaborated with the industry of specific domains. With the help of industry experts’ syllabi of courses are designed to be conducted under each CoE.

The courses are split into three modules a) Beginner b) Advanced c) Expert.

Core function:

To conduct high-standard technical training with industry experts framed curriculum in specific domain with special focus on latest emerging technologies.
Core Placement related training is given for students
To develop an association between academia and industry for the benefit of the skill development of the students and faculties
To conduct Research and Development in related fields and spread the results of the R&D and other activities through the filling of patents and transforming them into sustainable business proposals
To support creative and innovative proposals from faculties and students
To create a network of nearby institutes for mentoring support
