While the initial years went into creating transit facilities and establishing different academic operations, the four and half years have been very crucial, through which we have achieved a phenomenal growth and the institute completely operating from the permanent campus. The institute took several pioneering initiatives in multiple fronts, towards achieving global competence such as the following:

• Rising of standards of the institute in all fronts to international level,
