Beyond Academics

Personality Development

Enhancing Confidence to Stay Ahead

We firmly believe that an individual’s personality is exceedingly important to determine the degree of his social, emotional and professional excellence in this inter-dependent and complex world. Our emphasis on personality development focusses on giving the students an opportunity to develop a socially viable, multi-faceted and impressive personality. The personality development of students is thus conducted as a continuous process which starts with the first semester and continues till the completion of the student’s programme instead of a sporadic or one time activity. It is conducted in various modes like:

Military Training
