Career Development Center and It's Functioning

In the present era, career opportunities are fewer and the demand is continuously rising. To make a difference, it is important for individuals to give some strong points to recruiters about why hiring them would be a fair investment. 

To come to terms with the situation today, BIBT has launched several initiative programs and activities that help shape our students as worthy candidates for recruiters. It should help students embark on the right path to a successful career. 

Realizing the need for a committee that helps students select the right career options for them, we have set up the Career Development Committee (CDC) to guide students in their careers and provide them with opportunities. Read More
