Entrepreneurship Awareness Camp

Department of E&I organized a 3 day “Entrepreneurship Awareness Camp” with more than 60 student participation from all branches. Few students in each department are very much interested to become job providers but not job seekers by becoming an “Entrepreneur”. This camp provide a platform at which related Govt. departments like DIC (District Industry Centre), MSME, Lead Bank, MPCON, Consultants & Successful Entrepreneurs’ available to inspire, motivate, guide & facilitate the all interested students to start their entrepreneurial venture. In last many years few students now become successful entrepreneur like Mr. Sajal Agarwal of EC dept., Mr. Kapil Goyal of EI Dept. & Mr. Rohit Ahirwar of CSE dept.

Industry Institute Partnership Cell

This is AICTE funded project for providing all types of support for transforming students into industry ready professionals, imparting technical skill training to students & industry staff, conducting industry visit & internship & sharing experiences and expertise of industry personals with students. This also facilitates students for their techno-entrepreneurial startup ideas/ ventures. Till now many students provided training & placement under MoU signed with technical training providers and through Entrepreneurship Awareness Camps.

Project Work

• All the final year students are required to undergo a major project in their final academic semester.
• Both the project works are held under the supervision of senior faculty members
• The project may be sponsored or facilitated by the industry.

Interaction with the Industry

We believe that engineering education is incomplete without the support and collaboration of the industry. For this purpose, the department has developed strong linkages with the industry and renowned academic institutions. The interfacing with the industry helps the students in the following areas:

• Industrial visits- wherein the students get an opportunity to see the real application of engineering
• Expert lectures- The experts from various fields share their expertise and knowledge with the faculty and the students
• Workshops on specific technologies- The students get a hand on experience in these workshops
• Conferences & Symposiums- The students get an opportunity to explore their research potential
• Institutional & Industrial Training- Interfacing with the industry opens up multidimensional avenues for the students
• Value added Trainings: In-house value added trainings in niche areas like C/C++, JAVA, and Networking etc. are offered to students for developing their competence in specific areas that also gives them a competitive edge over others.
• Placements- The department supports and coordinates with the Centralized Training & Placement Cell of CT group for all placement related activities viz. interview preparation, inviting the companies for the placement drives and conduct of the same.

For all the aforesaid purposes, students are actively involved. The students have been identified as student coordinators who are working together in order to meet these objectives. Besides, these activities also inculcates managerial & leadership qualities in the students. The student coordinators are well guided and supported by two faculty members of the department who have been identified as industrial coordinators.
