from day one. The courses offered in this program will include explanation of the basic
concepts, tools and techniques to advance concepts and technologies involved in the
product development process, all important tools and their real-world applications in
conformity with widely accepted ISO standards, GD&T, and standard practices followed
in the manufacturing processes in industry.
Key Features of the Program
- The training will be provided by the faculty who have long been associated with industry and have a good understanding of teaching pedagogy.
- The student will be provided a chance to visit an industrial site to see the live applications of the software learned.
- The training will be provided on the latest software packages.
- The students will be provided placement guidance on successful completion of the course. A mock interview/test will be conducted in professional settings to give you an idea of what you need to do while appearing for a job interview. Industry professionals will be a part of it and will give you necessary feedback on it so that you practice and prepare for the real job interview.
- An assessment test will be conducted to evaluate the students and provide feedback. Students will be encouraged to create an online portfolio showcasing their profile with links and videos.
