National Initiative Program includes two major programs

[1] Student Exchange Program
As per the Initiatives of Ministry of Human Resource -Development and AICTE, Thakur College of Engineering and Technology started to conduct Students exchange programs. Student exchange program gives an opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge on their study of choice from a different institute. This gives them a chance to develop their work experience by seeing how the course/research domain they are studying is being practiced in another institute. It helps them to understand the working philosophy of the other institute and also enhances their ability to work in collaboration for project development and paper writing with students of other institute. The purpose is to learn the culture, living styles, social customs, food habits and such other aspects of the social and cultural affairs of each other’s institute along with learning technical skills regarding a latest technology.

[2] Government Initiatives and National Recognitions/Awards for institute with students/Faculty
Time to time, there are notifications from various government bodies for Government Initiatives and National Recognitions/Awards for students/Faculty like EBSB Initiatives, MyGov activities, Vishwakarma awards. Students/Faculty from TCET can participate to get national recognition for individual and institute. This will also help for nation building.
