Outline of Education And Research Guidance
Main objective
With rapid changes in science and technology with new innovations, engineers are required to have extensive academic knowledge and must possess ability to take tough decisions giving due considerations to various factors. Also the practicing engineers and reseachers form research and development centers etc must be able to enhance their scientific knowledge. Therefore emphasis is placed in the program of education and research to train the students so that they attain the ability to apply their specialized skills to practical problems in an efficient manner. Also with the aim of helping them to become familiar with a wide variety of topics, the engineers and researchers are additionally trained in subjects other than their main specialization.

- ●Credits
- The students have to complete a total of at least 12 credits, As shown in the Table below, emphasis is placed on credits for special tutorials, special practice and special training too. Thus guidance is provided in many ways enabling the students to attain high level of academic back ground and technical expertise.
- ●Guidance staff
