Centre for Industry - Institutional Relations (CIIR)

To strengthen the relationship between industry and our institute, the Centre for Industry Institution Relationship (CIIR) was established in the 2022 which encourages industry experts to continuously partake in curriculum design and career development programs which play a significant role in honing the students' skill set towards the industry's expectations. Towards upscaling the academia in the Global knowledge index, ample industrial exposure is provided to the faculty members to enhance the Teaching Learning Process and enable the Institution to produce quality students. It provides an excellent platform for both the students and faculty members to be aware of industry expectations from the graduates. CIIR serves as a podium to highlight the best practices, the latest technologies from an industry standpoint, and their implementation.
