Graduates have more chances to get higher education or job opportunities.  Especially, in the field of bio technology there will be more progress in the future. When Corona was threatening the world vaccines were kept in six degrees Celsius due to the progress of Biotechnology and thus we protected people.

Next major field is data science. From rockets to two-wheelers, chips are based on the basis of data science. Chennai IIT teaches it through online to 2 lakh students. 1 year certificate, 2 year diploma, 3 year degree and 4 year MS degree can be obtained by pursuing the course while studying PG and or working in any firm.

Graduates should take advantage of such opportunities to advance in life', he advised.   College correspondent  SD Chandrasekhar, President Kandasamy, Treasurer Arun,  Trustees Rajamanickam,  Velumani, Kulasekaran, Principal Dr Jayaraman, Dean Dr Eswaramurthy and Administrative Manager Periasamy participated.
