While competency skills are literally handled through special modules such as Communication Skills, Technical Writing, Problem Solving skills, Customer Care, and Working in a Team. IEEE/ACM IT curriculum guideline is used as a reference for module selection and design. The department is supported with cutting-edge experienced teaching staff with both technical and teaching skills and.
