Training Structure / Model

The Training and Placement Cell (TPC) of SXCCE recognized the need for segregating students into Flowers and Buds to facilitate personalized and efficient training.

• This segregation enables trainers to tailor the curriculum and teaching methods based on the students' specific skill levels, ensuring that both advanced and weaker students receive appropriate guidance.
• The targeted approach maximizes learning outcomes, improves placement success rates, and ensures that no student is left behind.

Introduction of Flowers and Buds Segregation (2023–2024)

The Flowers and Buds segregation was first implemented during the Even Semester of the academic year 2023–2024.

• Students were categorized based on their:
• University Exam Performance
• Assignment Performance
• Class Attentiveness
• Participation in Hackathons and TechMindz
• Overall Attitude and Involvement

Introduction of Blossom Training

In the Odd Semester of the academic year 2024–2025, a special core group called Blossoms was introduced for IV-year students.

• This group consists of top-performing students from all branches, receiving specialized and intensive training.
• In the Even Semester, the Blossoms group was extended to II and III-year students, offering them advanced training.
