“HOD SPEAK”

From HOD’s Desk –April 2019

Greetings to Students and faculty!!!

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all my faculty members, students, parents, Alumni, non-teaching staff for their continuous efforts in getting NAAC Accreditation grade A+ . Keeping the same enthusiasm and spirit, our department is working collectively to appear for ‘National board of Accred-itation’ team visit the second time. I wish to highlight that we groomed our students so as they can participate in project competitions within and also outside the institute.

In this quarter, our department witnessed a blend of aca-demic activities along with sports, cultural activities. As usual in this semester there were guest lectures, seminars, industri-al visit, Project reviews conducted by faculty members. I wish all my students success in their future examination.
