Certificate Programmes

Computer Literacy Programme was initiated by the Government of Tamilnadu in all Government Colleges to enrich all Undergraduate Non-Computer Science students from the year 2000-2001. This course was exclusively designed and geared with updated systems orienting towards providing the required knowledge to the students and for their upliftments in computer literacy. This course has been conducted for students from all disciplines excepting computer science.

Initially, a separate lab was established with 40 computers and other necessary equipments and a certificate course was being conducted in collaboration with NIIT, Karaikudi, under a contract period of 5 years.

In the year 2005-2006, the CLP lab with all equipments was handed over to the college by NIIT and thereafter course had been conducted successfully for all the first year under graduate students.
