These sessions provide a wide exposure to the students on the prevailing best practices and emerging concepts and help them to face the dynamic business / I.T. environment with confidence.

Industrial Visits and Orientation: Industrial visits are organised to acquaint the students with the real-life organisational environment where they observe and study the systems and practices.
