Study conducted at Harvard University stated that someone’s achievement in career is 80% determined by soft skills and 20% determined by hard skills.
Realising the need to sharpen soft skills of management students for lifelong success, the idea to operate Soft Skills Development Centre on the campus was conceived in 2011. The soft skills sessions are conducted in association with corporate trainers and training organizations.

The bright students from vernacular medium, who join management courses, face tough challenges in the corporate world. Reason: soft skills problem. At our centre, formal peer-mentoring model has been instituted, where students like us with industry exposure and good communication skills were assigned responsibility to improve soft skills of such students. The initiative led to some mind-boggling results.
