The Online classes conducted by faculties are recorded and shared with all students through Google Classroom along with relevant learning materials.

Item B

To encourage the clubs and societies of the college to prepare mock business models that can be then presented to corporate ventures for funding purposes so that students can gain exposure to entrepreneurship.

College bodies like Student Societies (Yuva, Nucleus and Enactus); incubation centre (SIIF) and MoE, GoI linked council (IIC) continue to help prepare mock business models and conduct competitions that encourage students to build business models. IIC and SIIF are putting in more efforts in this regard.
