Centre for Extra Academic Activity

Extra academic activities play a crucial role in both personal and professional growth by complementing academic learning with essential life skills. These activities help individuals develop traits such as leadership, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, which are invaluable in the professional world. Engaging in NCC, Physical Education, Yoga, and NSS or volunteer work fosters discipline, time management, and emotional intelligence, while also providing a creative outlet and reducing stress. Moreover, these activities often build a strong network of peers and mentors, which can open doors to career opportunities and lasting relationships.

Value-added courses are essential for enhancing both personal and professional development by offering specialized knowledge and skills that go beyond traditional academic curricula. These courses help individuals stay competitive in a rapidly evolving job market by providing expertise in emerging fields such as data science, digital marketing, or project management. They also enable students and professionals to gain practical, hands-on experience, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and real-world application. On a personal level, value-added courses encourage lifelong learning and adaptability, fostering a mind-set of continuous improvement.
