Highlights
Minor Programme
A Minor Programme is an additional program of choice that can be pursued along with the main degree program. Students can register for this with the University. This is offered to meet the aspirations of high performing students.
Proctoral System
Under the Proctoral System, every student is assigned a faculty member as a Proctor or a mentor.
These mentors offer guidance, support and encouragement to students, helping them as they progress along their academic journey. From the choice of electives to their academic performance, from attendance to meeting their credit requirements, students can approach these mentors with any and every query.
Proctors also interact with parents/guardians and keep them updated on the progress of students.
To ensure that they reap the benefits of the Proctoral System, students are advised to be in regular contact with their Proctors.
Innovation Centre
At the Innovation Centre, students team up with faculty members to bring their innovative ideas to life.
Ideas are assessed based on their relevance to — and impact on — society. These are then translated into working projects that are entered in national and international competitions, and for registration as patents.
Over its 21 years of existence, the Faculty of Fashion Design has ensured that students gain access to the industry while ensuring academic rigour, offering students a program that —
- Uses application-based learning.
- Provides interdisciplinary opportunities across engineering, medicine and management faculties.
- Incorporates a partnership with Partners for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering Education (PACE) which links firms such as General Motors, Siemens, and Hewlett-Packard with select academic institutions around the world to nurture young talent and create the product development teams of the future.
- Ensures internship, training and placement support with various universities and industries around the world.
- Includes expert guest lectures from qualified professionals from institutions and Industries.
- We offer accommodation in student hostels on our campus, and even offer third-party off-campus hotels where necessary to ensure students can focus on what matters the most.
