The purpose of this cell is to identify the trends and expectations and prepare students for meeting the latest requirements by facilitating internships in leading architectural firms, Organize Seminars, Workshops, Expert Talks and other Training programmes by experts and practicing architects.

IIPC at Davangere University will create an effective contribution to our vision and effectively avoid criticisms of the shortcomings. IIPC at Davangere University effectively equips our faculty to latest practices and makes the students industry-ready by providing exposure to current industry practices, and hone their skills to adapt changing trends and designs.

Our students will be benefited due to the exposure to current industry practices’, faculty members get sensitized to the latest practices leading them to blend real-time exposure with usual theoretical teaching methods.

Davangere University will gain in brand name and reputation through bigger percentage of placement of students, and being a useful partner of Industry through mutual consultancy services. The Industry would gain by getting employees who are already trained as per their expectations, aspirations and needs.
