Looking at the current age of competitiveness, we have retuned the educational paradigms and are focusing on the areas that need rethinking. In today’s new world of fast changing technology, trends of being online 24 hours for work, fun for entertainment and education, we believe that students need to be trained and not taught. Information needs to be made accessible and students need to learn how to find the learning and thinking skills rather than the teacher offering it to them in a rigid structure.” We also believe every student is unique and every student needs different way of teaching and thrust on different area and for this, we have adopted with Choice Based Credit System which give them minimum mandate and opportunity to grow towards excelling in various domain like Artificial Intelligence(AI), Data Science, IPR, and IOT, Industry 4.0, Electric Vehicle, Smart Farming, World-class Leader, Modern Healthcare practitioner.
