The Institution has entered into an MoU with EZ Vidya Ltd., a private organization that imparts Professional and Skill development training to working teachers as in-service programme. The classes and workshops conducted by the Personnel of this organization helps our students to acquire a comprehensive overview of this profession and infuses a great degree of professionalism in the student teachers.

The college has an effective placement programme which aims at procuring jobs for the student teachers even before the end of the second semester examination. The placement brochure is distributed to eminent schools not only in Coimbatore but also in other districts so that all the student teachers benefit from this. Campus interviews are conducted during the months of February and March and the student teachers join the services of the schools that select them and confirm their appointment. About 60 student teachers were selected through the campus placement programme.
