Training
The training and placement division is called as CACHE (Centre for Advancement of Career and Human Excellence). The training imparted to students from their freshman year till they are placed is aimed at shaping the individuals into employ and assets to their employers. The school believes that change that is instant is not permanent. It should be slow and spread over a period to be true. The two in-house full-time trainers ensure that the training classes are planned to this effect.
Innovative methods of teaching are implemented to make learning an enjoyable experience for the students. The run-of-the-mill syllabus completion classes are a contrast to what happens at CACHE. A special syllabus is planned keeping in view the industry requirements and constraints of regular syllabus.
