Introduction

Addressing job readiness, employability and 100% placements, significant efforts have been made to enhance the employability of technical students. However, making non-technical students from Social Sciences and Life Sciences employable has always been a major challenge. To overcome this, through our upcoming university model, BFGI has planned to implement an integrated approach to ensure 100% employability across all courses by establishing the “School of Competitive Studies.”

The School of Competitive Studies will be a key component of our new university model. It will prepare students for a variety of competitive exams, both in government (state and central) and private sectors, for positions ranging from clerical to civil services like IAS and PCS. Training will be tailored as per the abilities and capabilities of each student.

Students from all streams—Science, Arts, Commerce, or Social Sciences—have to pass competitive exams to access new opportunities and possibilities. Therefore, we aim to equip our students with the latest knowledge and refine their technical and competitive skills. This preparation will enable them to succeed in various competitive exams, including Civil Services, Banking, UGC NET, SSC, FCI, PUNSUP, Managerial, Industrial and in both private and government sectors.
