Structure

CDC works under a Director at the University level who manages all the CDC activities. The Director is assisted by Career Liaison Officers (CLOs) and Industry Liaison Officers (ILOs) at the departmental level. Each department has a designated CLO who works as an interface for students to communicate with CDC and also help the Director in various capacities. An ILO in each department strives to generate internship opportunities for students and maintains internship providers' database. In each department, the CLO is supported by CLO ambassadors, who are students, one from each of three senior batches of the currently enrolled students. Therefore, each department has three CLO ambassadors working with their respective CLO.
