The College has initiated steps to start courses under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKY) scheme of Govt of India implemented through the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE).

The minimum qualifications for joining these courses vary with the course. The sanctioned intake for each of these courses is 25 students.
