All the courses offered will be instructed by competent and diverse faculty members of the Centre.
CEGS as a Centre of Excellence is geared towards education and awareness along with promoting research-based programs. To cater to the mid-career professionals’ academic and research needs, it is felt that programs of short duration would be offered that would be beneficial for those individuals who otherwise might not be able to join long duration (morning) programs.
The programs will cater to individuals from diverse academic and professional backgrounds. Mid-career individuals and professionals will be preferred on the basics of experience over fresh graduates.
