The Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) of SXCCE was started in 2009  with the support from Department of Science & Technology, Government of India at St.Xavier's Catholic College of Engineering to refresh the exploring brains of our institution. To encourage students of college from all the discipline's to consider Self -employment as a career option, also provide training in Entrepreneurship through modular courses. Thus becoming "job generators" rather than "job seekers".
