The philosophy of the College is reflected in its motto "Co-operative for Progress". This philosophy is being pursued by the provision of courses of instruction, training and research in technology, applied science, commerce, management and other fields of study that may be approved from time to time by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE). The NBTE performs this function in its role of monitoring and accrediting courses mounted in the College. This way, the College's programmes are standardised and harmonised with the National policy on Education.
