Objective
Career Guidance and Placement Cell (CGPC) has been established to provide preplacement training and placement drive in-campus or off-campus. CGPC comprises a functional committee to initiate and empower the students for employability, start-ups, and entrepreneurship.
Students have lots of chances to improve their skills.

Students in the institution where they are pursuing their UG/PG Programme in a HEI need a platform to teach leadership qualities, event organization, office & HR management to get absorbed into corporate and public sectors.
