As enshrined
in the University Act, the University aims to provide and upgrade education,
training and research in fields of technical education, and to create
entrepreneurship and a conducive environment for pursuit of the technical
education in close co-operation with industries. Further, as a very
distinguishing feature of its vision, the University aims to make provisions
for the advancement of technical education amongst classes and communities
which are educationally backward.To fulfill the above broad vision, the
University develops flexible and innovative academic programmes and procedures
that cater to a very broad range of students with different background, and
prepares them to compete at the national and international levels.
In addition
to transmission of knowledge through a very well thought teaching pedagogy, the
University lays a strong emphasis on knowledge creation through a well planned
research programme in emerging areas, and application of knowledge by
undertaking issues and problems from the industry. Apart from academics, the
University lays a very strong emphasis on the overall development of a well
rounded personality of its students with both professional and emotional
maturity to take up the challenges in their chosen profession, and to
contribute to the development of society.
