In order to promote a diversified and collaborative environment in the domains of data sciences, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and applied mathematics, the Institute recently opened the "Gordhanbhai B Gelot Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.

"The placement season for 2023 was successful, with a 16% increase in total recruiters from the previous year and a 26% increase in the average package offered. This shows the students' dedication and diligence as well as the institute's strong reputation.
