Future Plan:

To set up a CNC Machine shop to get students acquainted with the latest manufacturing processes. This project is in the process and will be commissioned soon.

Lab Equipment - For the refrigeration and air conditioningand metrology lab equipped and metrology lab equipped with latest measuring instruments and gauges used in modern plant are expected to be installed very soon.

Non conventional source of energy like solar energy plant is in the process of installation in the campus for allowing the students to get exposure all about it and can undergo various projects concerning to it.

Seminar/ workshop- plan to organize seminar / workshop on a regular basis by taking assistance from the consultant on a regular basis to be scheduled every fortnightly from 7th semester onwards.

Training and placement - we organize various programmes related to personality development of students and hire consultant./HR personnel from the industry to get exposure to our students all about the present requirement of modern industries.

Industrial visit – plan to organize visit to the industry like steel plant, modern power plant (FBC Boiler) ,manufacturing plant, automobile plant on monthly basis to get the students acquainted with the workings of the modern industries.

Project work-- students are encouraged to take up the project for the award of B Tech in engineering in industries so that they can hone the technical competency working with the industry technicians and suggest the remedial solutions of critical problems faced by various industries.

Latest technology- to get exposure to new techniques in the field of iron making, steel making , manufacturing students are exposed to the new concepts like TPM, six sigma etc.
