FIRST YEAR (ENGINEERING)
First year engineering is the foundation for all branches of engineering. The basic objective of the education of the engineering is to provide the technical education. A strong base can only bring a strong structure up. The Dept focuses on imparting scientific & technical knowledge in a manner that prepares the students to contribute effectively, intellectually and ethically as future citizen of engineering community to serve the society.
First year is the base for any engineering discipline. The department has a team of learned & experienced faculty. The faculty conduct result improvement programme for weak students alongwith parent – student counseling session. Best and intensive coaching is given to the students for achieving good results. The faculty uses various audio-visual aids effectively to make teaching interesting and productive.
