Center for Technical Education, BITS Goa

Center for Technical Education (C.T.E.) is the largest technical organisation of BITS , established in 2012 with the motto of offering courses in technical disciplines which are not included extensively in the BITS Curriculum. Every course under C.T.E. is taught by experienced senior students who have a great portfolio in the respective fields. Each semester, we offer courses on subjects like Competitive Coding, Artificial Intelligence, Finance, Vehicle Design and Product Design. We also conduct language courses like German aimed at students aspiring for higher education abroad.Our course have several evaluative components and the classes are held after college hours . Student also have the option to un-enroll if they don't find the course apt for them. Every course has a handout which describes the plan, evaluation scheme, and further details. At the end of the course, the participants are awarded certificates of participation, and the meritorious ones are given special merit certificate with their fees reimbursed. Strictly adhering to its not-for-profit principles, C.T.E uses the registration fees for a variety of campus enhancing programs and beyond. A significant chunk goes towards project funding. Groups or individuals, with promising prospects and ideas, apply and after a comprehensive analysis by the faculty members, the best are rewarded with monetary grants for buying materials or availing services. This is our initiative to boost the technical culture on campus and not finance be the obstacle between someone's ideas a reality. A newly adopted initiative by C.T.E. is visiting nearby schools and other institutions and offer basic technical courses to the students. We associate with technical and non-technical clubs on campus and coordinate with local schools to pursue our intention of doing something towards the society, outside the campus.
