“To promote knowledge based and technology-driven start-ups by harnessing young minds and their innovation potential in an academic environment”

The CFC was initiated in the early 90’s as “Training and Placement Cell” basically meant for providing industrial interface and assistance in placements for computer science programmes. Later on, exponential growth was seen in the number and extent of activities carried out under this Cell. The Cell started getting projects from industries and gradually it evolved as strong support system in terms of training and placements of students.

At the sametime, the number of academic programmes of College increased with addition of biotechnology, environmental science, microbiology, computer applications and recently data science. Since then,  number of interactions with industries has increased four fold with focus on skill development of students, research and development, industrial training, internships and campus to corporate programs.In view of all these essential prerequisites, all the activities have been clubbed together under the umbrella of “Career Facilitation Center”.

With new dimensions of teaching-learning and changing scenario of higher education globally, the College introduced Certificate course in “Intellectual property Rights” (IPR) and recently an extra credit course in ‘Entrepreneurship Development” has been introduced for post graduate students in collaboration with Wadhwani Foundation, Bangalore.
