Curriculum Development Cell (CDC)


The Curriculum Development Cell (CDC) plays a central role in designing and maintaining an industry-aligned, outcome-based curriculum. Working collaboratively with industry experts, academic authorities, and faculty members, the CDC ensures that every programme meets the expectations of stakeholders and prepares students for future challenges.

Curriculum Development Approach


The CDC follows a robust and collaborative methodology that includes:

1. Industry Engagement

Extensive consultations through search conferences, expert interactions, and industry feedback help identify required competencies and technological trends.

2. Competency-Based Curriculum Design

Each curriculum is mapped with well-defined Course Outcomes (COs) and aligned with programme outcomes to promote structured and measurable learning.

3. Multi-Level Validation

Draft curricula undergo rigorous review and approval through:

  • Programme Wise Board of Studies (PBoS)
  • Board of Studies (BoS)

This ensures academic quality, relevance, and compliance with regulatory standards.

The overall approach ensures that the curriculum not only imparts technical knowledge but also develops the professional skills, attitudes, and competencies essential for enhancing student employability.
