The University in its 97 years of existence has always strived to do better and better for the students. The students of the university have contributed immensely to the national development through large manpower resources in various fields of study. The university strives to see that the training which the students receive through teaching and research activities has its impact on international and industrial manpower requirement. We focus our attention on producing quality students, not only through classroom learning but also through various activities on the campus, thereby changing their personality and enhancing their employability.

The Career Planning and Counselling Centre (CPCC) have been established with the objectives to see that the university students have a fair chance to be face to face with the companies/ industries/ institutions, which offer them employment. The CPCC in its endeavour to assists university students in finding employment, invites the prospective employer to our university campus and plays a wonderful host to them.

CPCC coordinate the task of organising the Campus interview for students just before the completion of the programme in order to help them to secure attractive jobs. Till date our students have made a distinct impression in the industries even as trainees and have metamorphosed into solution providers.

We firmly believe that the curriculum in the classroom and in the laboratory is not enough as it also requires the active guidance and supports for enabling them to convert themselves into a higher degree of employable candidates. The CPCC keeps the students informed about potential job opportunities with respect to the market scenario for their future career and guides them for the employability conversion. Efforts are made to prepare students to become capable and self dependent so as to meet the changing requirements in their day to day job opportunities.

ELITE CLUB

“Elite Club” is formed whose membership will be from those students who have procured jobs for themselves. They may have been selected either at “On Campus” or “Off campus” recruitment or have obtained from any other sources. The purpose of this club is to initiate an attitude of cordial relationship with junior and senior students. The senior acts as a guide to their juniors and help them in advising them on the intricacies of facing the recruitment process. They became members of the club when they receive the appointment letters from their employer.

They should willingly give a talk to students about their performance, and their interview experience. They should serve as guide to their fellow student’s community. A directory which will contain all relevant information will be published for these students. Members will be offered a certificate. A grand get-together in formal clothing will be organised for these Elite members and a group photographs will be taken and given to individual members as a souvenir.
