No, as far as I know, CIC will not open a placement cell in the foreseeable future.

It wasn’t meant to be a place for job seekers.

To all the aspirants reading this and asking about placements again, and again, know the difference between an innovation centre and a regular college that provides a B.Tech degree.

Cluster Innovation Centre focuses on RESEARCH and INNOVATION.

The main objectives of the Cluster Innovation Centre are:

• Encourage an environment of innovation in the system.
• Develop innovative degree programs.
• Educate and sensitize students, teachers by launching schemes on innovation programmes in colleges.
• Select ideas with potential by conducting training/orientation programmes/modules on innovation and researches.
• Develop ideas into innovative applications.
• Facilitate collaborations and partnerships with industry, academia and other stakeholders.
• Commercialise innovations and take them to the end users.
• Develop meaningful linkage with various segments of society.

The course encourages entrepreneurship skills in the students.
