We have a mentor-mentee system at our university where we allot a faculty to a student. The mentor will look after the student, help them and support them academically. We have also included value-added courses for students that target extra but essential industry skills. Students who need extra care can also attend our remedial classes where they can ask their doubts.

What type of projects are students working on through this program?

In computer science, we have live projects that tackle topics like automatic doors or lights. These products work on the basis of sensors that our students design and make. We also have projects on data mining where students work on cleaning up and finding patterns in data.
