VALUE ADDED COURSES
ESP & SDP
The classes on Essential Studies for Professionals (ESP) and Skill Development Programme for Professionals (SDP) started on 22nd August 2016 as optional papers, later it became an elective paper for all students from the month of January 2017, These classes are divided into theory and sessional papers, In theory classes students learn General Studies papers having two credit points in their curriculum which help them improve their GK for the competitive exams where SDP classes are based on hands on assignments -- students learn various tricks to solve mathematical and logical problems in a very short time along with special emphasis on Verbal Aptitude & communication skill. The syllabus of the entire project is designed to make our students ready for all types of competitive exams. The concept of Pulse Check Score card (Industrial Readiness Indicator) has been implemented. Generally Competitive exams & Placement programs have three rounds like Aptitude test, Technical interview followed by an HR interview. It has started to give these flavour of competitive world to the students since last semester. They have to go through all these rounds to obtain a good score in Pulse Check Score card. In this way the students can come to know about their employability skill from industrial perspective. The students who usually score poor marks will get special attention for their improvement. There is a possibility of a mandatory exit test for the Engineering students in near future to validate their degree as well as their employability. It has started providing the classes for advance subject knowledge which will be very helpful to crack this mandatory exit test, if any. It will be very beneficial for Technical interview in the Placement programme & GATE exam too. A bench of experienced trainers have been formed from different regions of India to conduct the classes and grooming session. At present the pattern of competitive exams is changing day by day, so we keep changing the syllabus to cater to the need of the industry. In the final year of graduation the students will appear for various exams to get suitable employment. The main focus is to place them in Public Sector and ensure a secured career. Students of second & third year have already started appearing for various competitive examinations from this year. Essential Studies for Professionals is a training programme which gives advanced knowledge to the students along with their regular curriculum, it trains our students for different exams like GATE, CAT, GRE, WBCS, UPSC Civil Services, Bank PO, SSC(CGL) etc. The classes also serve the purpose of helping students for their placement in private sector.
