NIE CAREER GUIDANCE CELL (NIE-CGC)

Preamble

One of the policy decisions in the UGC XI Plan provides for establishing Career Guidance Cell in Colleges and Universities, which can be understood as a Centre assisting students in realizing their aptitudes/potential, training them to hone and supplement their aptitudes/potentials, match them with the available careers and bring in Companies to select them and place them. NIE for a long time has had a robust Training and Placement Cell which benefits the student immensely at a higher level.

2.    To support studies to develop their potentials.

3.    To assist/counsel students to map to the available careers based on  their potentials, aptitudes and interests.
