Sharing his views, Managing Director Arsh Dhaliwal stated that the centre creates a model technology-driven environment within the campus that mirrors real industry work culture. He emphasized that higher education must evolve with time so students can understand industry expectations during their academic journey. The centre is not merely a computer lab but a dynamic and immersive learning environment where students will work on live project simulations aligned with industry standards.
He further added that students should graduate not just with degrees, but with certified competencies, confidence, and practical clarity. The centre will also contribute to faculty upskilling and curriculum modernization to ensure continuous alignment with industry standards.
Dr. Sushil Prashar remarked that this initiative marks another strong step toward transforming CGC University into India’s first “Industry Integrated Learning Hub.” The centre will support structured engagement in software engineering, full-stack application development, cloud platforms, data-driven systems, and emerging digital technologies.
